Formal methods traditionally address the question of transforming
software engineering into a mature engineering discipline. This
essentially refers to trusting that the software-intensive systems
that form our society's infrastructures are behaving according to
their specifications. More recently, formal methods are also used
to understand properties and evolution laws of existing complex and
adaptive systems-man-made such as smart electrical grids or natural
ones such as biological networks. A tribute to Professor Kaisa
Sere's contributions to the field of computer science, From Action
Systems to Distributed Systems: The Refinement Approach is the
first book to address the impact of refinement through a multitude
of formal methods ranging from Action Systems to numerous related
approaches in computer science research. It presents a
state-of-the-art review on the themes of distributed systems and
refinement. A fundamental part of Kaisa Sere's research consisted
of developing Action Systems, a formalism for modeling, analysing,
and constructing distributed systems. Within the design of
distributed systems, Kaisa Sere's main research focus was on
refinement-based approaches to the construction of systems ranging
from pure software to hardware and digital circuits. Presenting
scientific contributions from renowned researchers around the
world, this edited book consists of five sections: Modeling,
Analysis, Proof, Refinement, and Applications. Each chapter has
been thoroughly reviewed by experts in the field. The book covers
both traditional aspects in formal methods research, as well as
current and innovative research directions. It describes the
transition from the strong theory of refinement to a methodology
that can be applied in practice, with tool support. Examining
industrial applications of the methods discussed, this book is a
suitable resource for graduate students, researchers, and
practitioners interested in using formal methods to develop
distributed systems of quality.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th
International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods, IFM 2013,
held in Turku, Finland, in June 2013. The 25 revised full papers
presented together with 4 invited papers were carefully reviewed
and selected from 84 full paper submissions. The papers cover the
spectrum of integrated formal methods, focusing on refinement,
integration, translation, verification, reachability and model
checking, usability and testing, distributed systems, semantics,
and system-level analysis.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods, IFM 2002, held in Turku, Finland, in May 2002.The 18 revised full papers presented together with three invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 46 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on integration, simulation, and animation; from specification to verification; statcharts and B: integration and translation; model checkers and theorem provers; links between object-Z and CSP; combining graphical and formal approaches; and refinement and proof.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third
International Workshop and Tutorial, FMTea 2019, Held as Part of
the Third World Congress on Formal Methods, FM 2019, Porto,
Portugal, October 2019. The 14 full papers presented together with
3 abstract papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 22
submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections named:
Tutorial lectures; Teaching Program Verification; Teaching Program
Development; and Effective Teaching Techniques.
Rapid development of digital technologies has led to the widespread
use of software in all aspects of our life. The degree of reliance
that can be justifiably placed on software-intensive systems is
expressed by the notion of dependability. The complexity of modern
software-intensive systems poses the greatest threat to
dependability. Furthermore, software the most complex system
component is recognized to be the most error-prone part of the
system. Dependability and Computer Engineering: Concepts for
Software-Intensive Systems offers a state-of-the-art overview of
the dependability research, from engineering various
software-intensive systems to validating existing IT-frameworks and
solving generic and particular problems related to the dependable
use of IT in our society. It is important to understand how
dependability is manifested in software-intensive systems, how it
is developed, and how it can be enhanced at various levels in
systems and organizations. This book uncovers the existing research
on the topic as well as the key challenges associated with the
engineering of dependable IT systems in the future.
