This book presents joint works of members of the software engineering and formal methods communities with representatives from industry, with the goal of establishing the foundations for a common understanding of the needs for more flexibility in model-driven engineering. It is based on the Dagstuhl Seminar 19481 "Composing Model-Based Analysis Tools", which was held November 24 to 29, 2019, at Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, where current challenges, their background and concepts to address them were discussed. The book is structured in two parts, and organized around five fundamental core aspects of the subject: (1) the composition of languages, models and analyses; (2) the integration and orchestration of analysis tools; (3) the continual analysis of models; (4) the exploitation of results; and (5) the way to handle uncertainty in model-based developments. After a chapter on foundations and common terminology and a chapter on challenges in the field, one chapter is devoted to each of the above five core aspects in the first part of the book. These core chapters are accompanied by additional case studies in the second part of the book, in which specific tools and experiences are presented in more detail to illustrate the concepts and ideas previously introduced. The book mainly targets researchers in the fields of software engineering and formal methods as well as software engineers from industry with basic familiarity with quality properties, model-driven engineering and analysis tools. From reading the book, researchers will receive an overview of the state-of-the-art and current challenges, research directions, and recent concepts, while practitioners will be interested to learn about concrete tools and practical applications in the context of case studies.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Rewriting Logic and its Applications, WRLA 2012, held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2012, in Tallinn, Estonia, in March 2012. The 8 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 12 initial submissions and 5 invited lectures. The papers address a great diversity of topics in the fields of rewriting logic such as: foundations and models, languages, logical and semantic framework, model-based software engineering, real-time and probabilistic extensions, verification techniques, and distributed systems.

Maude is a language and system based on rewriting logic. In this comprehensive account, you'll discover how Maude and its formal tool environment can be used in three mutually reinforcing ways: as a declarative programming language, as an executable formal specification language, and as a formal verification system. Examples used throughout the book illustrate key concepts, features, and the many practical uses of Maude.
