This Festschrift volume is published in honor of Catherine A. Meadows and contains essays presented at the Catherine Meadows Festschrift Symposium held in Fredericksburg, VA, USA, in May 2019. Catherine A. Meadows has been a pioneer in developing symbolic formal verification methods and tools. Her NRL Protocol Analyzer, a tool and methodology that embodies symbolic model checking techniques, has been fruitfully applied to the analysis of many protocols and protocol standards and has had an enormous influence in the field. She also developed a new temporal logic to specify protocol properties, as well as new methods for analyzing various kinds of properties beyond secrecy such as authentication and resilience under Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and has made important contributions in other areas such as wireless protocol security, intrusion detection, and the relationship between computational and symbolic approaches to cryptography. This volume contains 14 contributions authored by researchers from Europe and North America. They reflect on the long-term evolution and future prospects of research in cryptographic protocol specification and verification.
This Festschrift volume, published in honor of Kokichi Futatsugi, contains 31 invited contributions from internationally leading researchers in formal methods and software engineering. Prof. Futatsugi is one of the founding fathers of the field of algebraic specification and verification and is a leading researcher in formal methods and software engineering. He has pioneered and advanced novel algebraic methods and languages supporting them such as OBJ and CafeOBJ and has worked tirelessly over the years to bring such methods and tools in contact with software engineering practice. This volume contains contributions from internationally leading researchers in formal methods and software engineering.
This Festschrift volume, published in honor of Carolyn Talcott on the occasion of her 70th birthday, contains a collection of papers presented at a symposium held in Menlo Park, California, USA, in November 2011. Carolyn Talcott is a leading researcher and mentor of international renown among computer scientists. She has made key contributions to a number of areas of computer science including: semantics and verification of progamming languages; foundations of actor-based systems; middleware, meta-architectures, and systems; Maude and rewriting logic; and computational biology. The 21 papers presented are organized in topical sections named: Essays on Carolyn Talcott; actors and programming languages; cyberphysical systems; middleware and meta-architectures; formal methods and reasoning tools; and computational biology.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Algebraic Methodology and Software Technology, AMAST 2008, held in Urbana, IL, USA, in July 2008. The 28 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited
talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions.
Among the topics covered are all current issues in formal methods
related to algebraic and logical foundations, software technology,
and to programming methodology including concurrent and reactive
systems, evolutionary software/adaptive systems, logic and
functional programming, object paradigms, constraint programming
and concurrency, program verification and transformation,
programming calculi, specification languages and tools, formal
specification and development case studies, logic, category theory,
relation algebra, computational algebra, algebraic foundations for
languages and systems, coinduction, theorem proving and logical
frameworks for reasoning, logics of programs, as well as algebra
and coalgebra.
This volume contains the 43 papers written by close collaboratorsand friends of UgoMontanariincelebrationofhis65thbirthday.Insomesense, thevolumeisa re?ection, with gratitude and admiration, on Ugo's highly creative, remarkably fruitful and intellectually generous life, which is thriving as strongly as ever. It provides a snapshot of the manifold research ideas that have been deeply in?uenced by Ugo's work. In a sense the book gives a vantage point from which to foresee further developments to come: by Ugo himself, and by many other people encouraged and stimulated by his friendship and example. The volume consists of seven sections, six of which are dedicated to the main research areas to which Ugo has contributed. Each of these six sections starts with a contribution by one of Ugo's closer collaborators providing an account of Ugo's contribution to the area and brie?y describing the papers in the section. The six scienti?c sections and the respective editors are the following: - Graph Transformation (Andrea Corradini) - Constraint and Logic Programming (Francesca Rossi) - Software Engineering (Stefania Gnesi) - Concurrency (Roberto Gorrieri) - Models of Computation (Roberto Bruni and Vladimiro Sassone) - Software Veri?cation (Gian-Luigi Ferrari) The ?nal section, edited by Fabio Gadducci, contains somelaudatio or memories of working experiences with Ugo, as well as three more technical contributions.
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.
Joseph Goguen is one of the most prominent computer scientists worldwide. His numerous research contributions span many topics and have changed the way we think about many concepts. Our views about data types, programming languages, software specification and verification, computational behavior, logics in computer science, semiotics, interface design, multimedia, and consciousness, to mention just some of the areas, have all been enriched in fundamental ways by his ideas. This Festschrift volume - published to honor Joseph Goguen on his 65th Birthday on June 28, 2006 - includes 32 refereed papers by leading researchers in the different areas spanned by Joseph Goguen's work. The papers address a broad variety of topics from meaning, meta-logic, specification and composition, behavior and formal languages, as well as models, deduction, and computation. The papers were presented at a Symposium in San Diego, California, USA in June 2006. Both the Festschrift volume and the Symposium allow the articulation of a retrospective and prospective view of a range of related research topics by key members of the research community in computer science and other fields connected with Joseph Goguen's work.
This Festschrift was published in honor of Joshua Guttman on the occasion of his 66.66 birthday. The impact of his work is reflected in the 23 contributions enclosed in this volume. Joshua's most influential and enduring contribution to the field has been the development of the strand space formalism for analyzing cryptographic protocols. It is one of several "symbolic approaches" to security protocol analysis in which the underlying details of cryptographic primitives are abstracted away, allowing a focus on potential flaws in the communication patterns between participants. His attention to the underlying logic of strand spaces has also allowed him to merge domain-specific reasoning about protocols with general purpose, first-order logical theories. The identification of clear principles in a domain paves the way to automated reasoning, and Joshua has been a leader in the development and distribution of several tools for security analysis.
