This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Web Services and Formal Methods, WS-FM 2010, held in Hoboken, NJ, USA, in September 2010. The 11 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. The papers feature topics such as web services; service oriented computing; cloud computing; formal methods; verification specification; testing; and business process management.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 20th Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2009), held in Bologna, September 1-4, 2009. The purpose of the CONCUR conference is to bring together researchers, developers, and s- dentsinordertoadvancethetheoryofconcurrencyandpromoteitsapplications. This year the CONCUR conference was in its 20th edition, and to celebrate 20 years of CONCUR, the conference program included a special session organized by the IFIP Working Groups 1.8 "Concurrency Theory" and 2.2 "Formal - scriptionofProgrammingConcepts"aswellas aninvitedlecturegivenby Robin Milner, one of the fathers of the concurrency theory research area. This edition of the conference attracted 129 submissions. We wish to thank all their authors for their interest in CONCUR 2009. After careful discussions, the Program Committee selected 37 papers for presentation at the conference. Each of them was accurately refereed by at least three reviewers (four reviewers for papers co-authored by members of the Program Committee), who delivered detailedandinsightfulcommentsandsuggestions.TheconferenceChairswarmly thank all the members of the Program Committee and all their sub-referees for the excellent support they gave, as well as for the friendly and constructive discussions. We would also like to thank the authors for having revised their papers to address the comments and suggestions by the referees. The conference program was enriched by the outstanding invited talks by Martin Abadi, Christel Baier, Corrado Priami and, as mentioned above, Robin Milner.

Here are the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Web Services and Formal Methods, WS-FM 2006, held in conjunction with the Fourth International Conference on Business Process Management, BPM 2006. The book presents 15 revised full papers and 3 invited lectures covering such topics as protocols and standards for WS; languages and description methodologies for Coreography/Orchestration/Workflow; coordination techniques for WS; security, performance evaluation and quality of service, and more.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the11th International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods, SEFM 2013, held in Madrid, Spain, in September 2013. The 21 full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. They are organized in topical section on real-time systems, verification, types and inference, static analysis, testing and runtime verification, and synthesis and transformation.

This volume contains the proceedings of two international workshops EPEW and WS-FM held atthe Universit ede VersaillesSaint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, V- sailles, France, 1 3 September 2005. EPEW (European Performance Engineering Workshop) and WS-FM (Int- national Workshop on Web Services and Formal Methods) were colocated to gather the researchers working across the spectrum of techniques for modelling, speci?cation, analysis and veri?cation of the behavior of computer systems and business processes. This proceedings contains a selection of 20 research contributions, out of 59 submissions, which went through a rigorous review process by international reviewers. We therefore owe special thanks to all members of both program committees of EPEW and WS-FM and their sub-referees for the excellent work they did in the short time they had. Additionally, this proceedings includes four invited papers, by Gianfranco Ciardo (University of California at Riverside), Peter G. Harrison (Imperial C- lege London), Cosimo Laneve (University of Bologna) and Wil van der Aalst (Eindhoven University of Technology). These contributions brought an ad- tional dimension to the technical and the scienti?c merit of these workshops. Finally, ourthanksgototheUniversityofVersaillesSaint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, its Laboratoire PRiSM and the CNRS for hosting the workshops and providing technicaland?nancialsupport."

A recent trend in programming language research is to use behavioral type theory to ensure various correctness properties of large-scale, communication-intensive systems. Behavioral types encompass concepts such as interfaces, communication protocols, contracts, and choreography. The successful application of behavioral types requires a solid understanding of several practical aspects, from their representation in a concrete programming language, to their integration with other programming constructs such as methods and functions, to design and monitoring methodologies that take behaviors into account. Behavioral Types in Programming Languages provides the reader with the first comprehensive overview of the state of the art of these practical aspects, which are summarized as the pragmatics of behavioral types. Each section covers a particular programming paradigm or methodology, providing an ideal reference for programming languages researchers interested the topic, and in identifying the areas as yet unexplored.
