Demonstrates how category theory can be used for formal software development.

The mathematical toolbox for the Software Engineering in the new age of complex interactive systems.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 24th IFIP WG 1.3 International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques, WADT 2018, held in Egham, UK in July 2018. The 9 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 13 submissions. The contributed presentations covered a range of topics: specification and modelling languages such as CASL, Event-B, Maude, MMT, and SRML; foundations of system specification such as graph transformation, categorical semantics, fuzzy and temporal logics, institutions, module systems and parameterization, refinement, static analysis, and substitutions; and applications including categorical programming, communicating finite state machines, neuralsymbolicintegration, relational databases, and service-oriented computing.

This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 10th International Symposium on Formal Aspects of Component Software, FACS 2013, held in Nanchang, China, in October 2013. The 19 full papers and three invited talks presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 51 submissions. The papers are concerned with how formal methods can be used to make component-based development fit for the new architectures of today and the systems that are now pervading the socio-economic worlds.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the 18th International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques, WADT 2006, held in La Roche en Ardenne, Belgium, in June 2006.

The 10 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers focus on the algebraic approach to the specification and development of systems and address topics such as formal methods for system development, specification languages and methods, systems and techniques for reasoning about specifications, specification development systems, methods and techniques for concurrent, distributed and mobile systems, and algebraic and co-algebraic foundations.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2006. The book presents 20 revised full papers, 5 industrial papers, and 15 short papers together with an invited paper and the abstract of an invited talk. The papers are organized in topical sections on monitoring and mining, service composition, process models and languages, dynamic process management, Web service composition, and applied business process management.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science, CALCO 2005, held in Swansea, UK in September 2005. The biennial conference was created by joining the International Workshop on Coalgebraic Methods in Computer Science (CMCS) and the Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques (WADT). It addresses two basic areas of application for algebras and coalgebras a" as mathematical objects as well as their application in computer science.

The 25 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions. The papers deal with the following subjects: automata and languages; categorical semantics; hybrid, probabilistic, and timed systems; inductive and coinductive methods; modal logics; relational systems and term rewriting; abstract data types; algebraic and coalgebraic specification; calculi and models of concurrent, distributed, mobile, and context-aware computing; formal testing and quality assurance; general systems theory and computational models (chemical, biological, etc); generative programming and model-driven development; models, correctness and (re)configuration of hardware/middleware/architectures; re-engineering techniques (program transformation); semantics of conceptual modelling methods and techniques; semantics of programming languages; validation and verification.

This volume contains selected papers from WADT 2004, the 17th International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques. Like its predecessors, WADT 2004 focussed on the algebraic approach to the speci?cation and development of systems, an area that was born around the algebraic speci?cation of abstract data types and encompasses today the formal design of software systems, new speci?cation frameworks and a wide range of application areas. WADT 2004 took place at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), Barcelona, Spain, on 27-29 March 2004, and was organized by Fernando Orejas and Jordi Cortadella. ' The program consisted of invited talks by Luis Caires (Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal) and Reiko Heckel (University of Paderborn, Germany), and 33 presentations describing ongoing research on main topics of the workshop: formal methods for system development, speci?cation languages and methods, systems and techniques for reasoning about speci?cations, speci?cation devel- ment systems, methods and techniques for concurrent, distributed and mobile systems, and algebraic and co-algebraic foundations.
