This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science, CALCO 2013, held in Warsaw, Poland, in September 2013. The 18 full papers presented together with 4 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. The papers cover topics in the fields of abstract models and logics, specialized models and calculi, algebraic and coalgebraic semantics, system specification and verification, as well as corecursion in programming languages, and algebra and coalgebra in quantum computing. The book also includes 6 papers from the CALCO Tools Workshop, co-located with CALCO 2013 and dedicated to tools based on algebraic and/or coalgebraic principles.
Graphs are among the simplest and most universal models for a variety of s- tems, not just in computer science, but throughout engineering and the life sciences. When systems evolve we are interested in the way they change, to p- dict, support, or react to their evolution. Graph transformation combines the idea of graphs as a universal modelling paradigm with a rule-based approach to specify their evolution. The area is concerned with both the theory of graph transformation and their application to a variety of domains. The International Conferences on Graph Transformation aim at bringing - getherresearchersandpractitionersinterestedinthefoundationsandapplications of graph transformation. The 4th International Conference on Graph Transf- mation(ICGT2008)washeldinLeicester(UK)inthesecondweekofSeptember 2008, along with severalsatellite events. It continued the line of conferences p- viouslyheld in Barcelona(Spain) in 2002, Rome(Italy) 2004, and Natal(Brazil) in 2006 as well as a series of six International Workshops on Graph Transfor- tion with Applications in Computer Science between 1978 to 1998. Also, ICGT alternateswiththeworkshopseriesonApplicationofGraphTransformationwith Industrial Relevance (AGTIVE). The conference was held under the auspices of EATCS, EASST, andIFIP WG 1.3. Respondingtothecallforpapers,57papersweresubmitted.Thepaperswere reviewedthoroughlybyprogramcommitteemembersandtheirco-reviewers.The committee selected 27 papers for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings. These papers mirror well the wide-ranged ongoing research activities in the theory and application of graph transformation. They are c- cerned with di?erent kinds of graph transformation approaches, compositional systems, validation and veri?cation as well as various applications, mainly to model transformation and distributed systems. Paper submission and reviewing were supported by the free conference management system EasyCh
This volume contains the papers presented at WS-FM 2007, the 4th International Workshop on Web Services and Formal Methods, held on September 28 and 29, 2007 in Brisbane, Australia. Web service technology aims at empowering providers of services, in the broad sense, with the ability to package and deliver their services by means of software applications available on the Web. Existing infrastructures for Web services - ready enable providers to describe services in terms of structure, access policy and behaviour, to locate services, to interact with them, and to bundle simpler services into more complex ones. However, innovations are needed to seamlessly extend this technology in order to deal with challenges such as managing int- actions with stateful and long-running Web services, managing large numbers of Web services each with multiple interfaces and versions, managing the quality of Web service delivery, etc. Formal methods have a fundamental role to play in shaping innovations in Web service technology. For instance, formal methods help to de?ne and to understand the semantics of languages and protocols that underpin existing infrastructures for Web services, and to formulate features that are found to be lacking. They also provide a basis for reasoning about Web service behaviour, for example to discover individual services that can ful?l a given goal, or even to compose multiple services that can collectively ful?l a goal. Finally, formal analysis of security properties and performance are relevant in many application areas of Web services such as e-commerce and e-business.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, FASE 2006, held in Vienna, Austria in March 2006 as part of ETAPS. The 27 revised full papers, two tool papers presented together with two invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 166 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections.
This book is an introduction to graph transformation as a foundation to model-based software engineering at the level of both individual systems and domain-specific modelling languages. The first part of the book presents the fundamentals in a precise, yet largely informal way. Besides serving as prerequisite for describing the applications in the second part, it also provides a comprehensive and systematic survey of the concepts, notations and techniques of graph transformation. The second part presents and discusses a range of applications to both model-based software engineering and domain-specific language engineering. The variety of these applications demonstrates how broadly graphs and graph transformations can be used to model, analyse and implement complex software systems and languages. This is the first textbook that explains the most commonly used concepts, notations, techniques and applications of graph transformation without focusing on one particular mathematical representation or implementation approach. Emphasising the research and engineering methodologies used, it will be a valuable resource for graduate students, practitioners and researchers in software engineering, foundations of programming and formal methods.

This volume pays tribute to the scientific achievements of Hartmut Ehrig, who passed away in March 2016. The contributions represent a selection from a symposium, held in October 2016 at TU Berlin, commemorating Hartmut' s life and work as well as other invited papers in the areas he was active in. These areas include Graph Transformation, Model Transformation, Concurrency Theory, in particular Petri Nets, Algebraic Specification, and Category Theory in Computer Science.
