This volume contains a selection of refereed papers from participants of the workshop "Construction and Analysis of Safe, Secure and Interoperable Smart Devices" (CASSIS), held from the 10th to the 13th March 2004 in Marseille, France: http: //www-sop.inria.fr/everest/events/cassis04/ The workshop was organized by INRIA (Institut National de Recherche en InformatiqueetenAutomatique), Franceandthe UniversitydelaM editerran ee, Marseille, France. The workshop was attended by nearly 100 participants, who were invited for their contributions to relevant areas of computer science. Theaimoftheworkshopwastobringtogetherexpertsfromthesmartdevices industry and academic researchers, with a view to stimulate research on formal methods and security, and to encourage the smart device industry to adopt innovative solutions drawn from academic research. The next generation of smart devices holds the promise of providing the required infrastructure for the secure provision of multiple and personalized services. In order to deliver their promise, the smart device technology must however pursue the radical evolution that was initiated with the adoption of multi-application smartcards. Typical needs include: - The possibility for smart devices to feature extensible computational infr- tructures that may be enhanced to support increasingly complex appli- tions that may be installed post-issuance, and may require operating system functionalities that were not pre-installed. Such additional ?exibility must however not compromise security. - The possibility for smart devices to achieve a better integration with larger computersystems, throughimprovedconnectivity, genericity, aswellasint- operability."

This textbook overviews the whole spectrum of formal methods and techniques that are aimed at verifying correctness of software, and how they can be used in practice. It focuses on techniques whereby the user has some control over the properties that are being checked. More specifically, it shows a wide range of techniques covering the whole spectrum:  from abstract system design to implementation, from bug finding to full proofs, and from techniques that are push-button by design and give a yes/no answer to techniques that require the user to provide explicit guidance to steer the analysis process. Topics and features: Covers a broad spectrum of software verification techniques, from model checking to annotation checking Provides numerous examples to demonstrate the techniques Focuses on how techniques can be used (and the main ideas behind how they work), as opposed to how they are implemented Explains strengths and weaknesses of the techniques, providing insight into when to use which technique in practice This unique textbook has been written primarily for master’s level students in computer science studying embedded systems and specializing in software technology. The book will also be of interest for students studying cyber security and data science technology, as well as for system or software developers interested in techniques that offer formal guarantees about software.
