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.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2007, held in Braga, Portugal in March/April 2007 as part of ETAPS 2007, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software.

The 34 revised full papers presented together with the abstract of 1 invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 136 submissions and address fundamental issues in the specification, analysis, and implementation of programming languages and systems. The papers are organized in topical sections on models and languages for Web services, verification, term rewriting, language based security, logics and correctness proofs, static analysis and abstract interpretation, semantic theories for object oriented languages, process algebraic techniques, applicative programming, and types for systems properties.

Computing technology has become ubiquitous, from global applications to - nuscule embedded devices. Trust in computing is vital to help protect public safety, nationalsecurity, andeconomicprosperity.Anewareaofresearch, known as global computing, has recently emerged that aims at de?ning new models of computation based on code and data mobility over wide area networks with highly dynamic topologies, and that aims at providing infrastructures to s- port coordination and control ofcomponents originatig n fromdi?erent, possibly untrusted, sources.Trustworthyglobalcomputing aims at guaranteeingsafe and reliable network usage, also by providing tools and framework for reasoning about behavior and properties of applications. AnInternationalSymposiumonTrustworthyGlobalComputing(TGC2005), was held in Edinburgh, UK, April 7-9, 2005. The symposium contained pres- tations and discussions dealing with issues such as: - resource usage, - language-based security, - theories of trust and authentication, - privacy, reliability and business integrity, - access control and mechanisms for enforcing it, - models of interaction and dynamic components management, - language concepts and abstraction mechanisms, - test generators, symbolic interpreters, type checkers, - ?nite state model checkers, theorem provers, - software principles to support debugging and veri?cat

This book constitutes the refereed proceeding of the 6th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages, COORDINATION 2004, held in Pisa, Italy in February 2004.

The 20 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 72 submissions. Among the topics addressed are context-aware coordination, the Linda coordination model, component adaptation, aspect-oriented programming, coordination middleware, peer-to-peer systems, coordination languages, network coordination, logic based coordination, agent coordination, as well as several coordination tools.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods, SEFM 2016, held as part of STAF 2016, in Vienna, Austria, in July 2016. The 20 full and 5 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 88 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: concurrency and non-interference; program analysis; model checking; verification; interaction and adaptation; and development methods.

This book presents 8 tutorial lectures given by leading researchers at the 16th edition of the International School on Formal Methods for the Design of Computer, Communication and Software Systems, SFM 2016, held in Bertinoro, Italy, in June 2016. SFM 2016 was devoted to the Quantitative Evaluation of Collective Adaptive Systems and covered topics such as self-organization in distributed systems, scalable quantitative analysis, spatio-temporal models, and aggregate programming.

This book is dedicated to Professor Martin Wirsing on the occasion of his emeritation from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat in Munich, Germany. The volume is a reflection, with gratitude and admiration, on Professor Wirsing's life highly creative, remarkably fruitful and intellectually generous life. It also gives a snapshot of the research ideas that in many cases have been deeply influenced by Professor Wirsing's work. The book consists of six sections. The first section contains personal remembrances and expressions of gratitude from friends of Professor Wirsing. The remaining five sections consist of groups of scientific papers written by colleagues and collaborators of Professor Wirsing, which have been grouped and ordered according to his scientific evolution. More specifically, the papers are concerned with logical and algebraic foundations; algebraic specifications, institutions and rewriting; foundations of software engineering; service oriented systems; and adaptive and autonomic systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages, COORDINATION 2013, held in Firenze, Italy, in June 2013, within the 8th International Federated Conference on Distributed Computing Techniques (DisCoTec 2013).
The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics including coordination of social collaboration processes, coordination of mobile systems in peer-to-peer and ad-hoc networks, programming and reasoning about distributed and concurrent software, types, contracts, synchronization, coordination patterns, and families of distributed systems.
