This Festschrift volume is published in honor of Bernhard Steffen, Professor at the Technical University of Dortmund, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. His vision as well as his theoretical and practical work span the development and implementation of novel, specific algorithms, and the establishment of cross-community relationships with the effect to obtain simpler, yet more powerful solutions. He initiated many new lines of research through seminal papers that pioneered various fields, starting with the Concurrency Workbench, a model checking toolbox that significantly influenced the research and development of mode based high assurance systems worldwide. The contributions in this volume reflect the breadth and impact of his work. The introductory paper by the volume editors, the 23 full papers and two personal statements relate to Bernhard's research and life. This volume, the talks and the entire B-Day at ISoLA 2018 are a tribute to the first 30 years of Bernhard's passion, impact and vision for many facets of computer science in general and for formal methods in particular. Impact and vision include the many roles that formal methods-supported software development should play in education, in industry and in society.

Formal methods have been applied successfully to the verification of medium-sized programs in protocol and hardware design. However, their application to the development of large systems requires more emphasis on specification, modelling and validation techniques supporting the concepts of reusability and modifiability, and their implementation in new extensions of existing programming languages.

This book presents 12 revised lectures given by top-researchers at the 5th International Symposium on Formal Methods for Components and Objects, FMCO 2006, held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in November 2006. The book provides a unique combination of ideas on software engineering and formal methods that reflect the current interest in the application or development of formal methods for large scale software systems such as component-based systems and object systems. The papers are organized in topical sections on component and service oriented computing, system design, tools, algebraic methods, model checking, assertional methods, and quantitative analysis.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Automated Technology for Verification and Analysis, ATVA 2006, held in Beijing, China in October 2006.

The 35 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of three keynote papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 137 submissions.

The 17 revised lectures by leading researchers present a comprehensive account of the potential of formal methods applied to large and complex software systems such as component-based systems and object systems. The book makes a unique contribution to bridging the gap between theory and practice in software engineering.

Since 1995, when the SPIN workshop series was instigated, SPIN workshops have been held on an annual basis in Montr eal (1995), New Brunswick (1996), Enschede (1997), Paris (1998), Trento (1999), Toulouse (1999), Stanford (2000), Toronto (2001), Grenoble (2002) and Portland (2003). All but the ?rst SPIN workshop were organized as satellite events of larger conferences, in particular of CAV (1996), TACAS (1997), FORTE/PSTV (1998), FLOC (1999), the World Congress on Formal Methods (1999), FMOODS (2000), ICSE (2001, 2003) and ETAPS (2002). This year again, SPIN was held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2004. The co-location of SPIN workshops with conferences has proven to be very successful and has helped to disseminate SPIN model checking technology to wider audiences. Since 1999, the proceedings of the SPIN workshops have appeared in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The history of successful SPIN workshops is evidence for the maturing of model checking technology, not only in the hardware domain, but increasingly also in the software area. While in earlier years algorithms and tool development aroundtheSPINmodelcheckerwerethefocusofthisworkshopseries, forseveral years now the scope has been widened to include more general approaches to software model checking techniques and tools as well as applications. The SPIN workshop has become a forum for all practitioners and researchers interested in model checking based techniques for the validation and analysis of communication protocols and software systems."

Largeandcomplexsoftwaresystemsprovidethenecessaryinfrastuctureinall- dustries today. In order to construct such large systems in a systematic manner, the focus in the development methodologies has switched in the last two decades from functional issues to structural issues: both data and functions are enc- sulated into software units that are integrated into large systems by means of various techniques supporting reusability and modi?ability. This encapsulation principleisessentialtoboththeobject-orientedandthemorerecentcompone- based sofware engineering paradigms. Formalmethodshavebeenappliedsuccessfullytotheveri?cationofmedi- sized programs in protocol and hardware design. However, their application to large systems requires the further development of speci?cation and veri?cation techniques supporting the concepts of reusability and modi?ability. In order to bring together researchers and practioners in the areas of so- ware engineering and formal methods, we organized the 1st International S- posium on Formal Methods for Components and Objects (FMCO) in Leiden, The Netherlands, November 5 8, 2002. The program consisted of invited tu- rials and more technical presentations given by leading experts in the ?elds of Theoretical Computer Science and Software Engineering. The symposium was attended by more than 100 people. This volume contains the contributions of the invited speakers to FMCO 2002. We believe that the presented material provides a unique combination of ideas on software engineering and formal methods which we hope will be an inspiration for those aiming at further bridging the gap between the theory and practice of software engineering."

Der Band dokumentiert im wesentlichen den praktischen Teil des am "Zentrum fur psychosoziale Forschung und Beratung (ZFB)" in Frankfurt durchgefuhrten integrierten Weiterbildungsprojekts "Berufliche Bildung und Berufsberatung" fur Sozialarbeiter/Sozialpadagogen. In umfangreichen Detailanalysen der Selbsterfahrungs- und Supervisionsgruppenprozesse wird gezeigt, dass die Schwierigkeiten dieser Berufsgruppe im Umgang mit benachteiligten Jugendlichen oftmals auf komplementaren, affektiven Verstrickungen beruhen, die einunbewusstes Zusammenspiel mit den Konflikten der Klienten ermoglichen. Diese konnen im Medium eines gruppenanalytischen Selbsterfahrungsprozesses sowie einer psychoanalytisch orientierten Supervision der Selbstreflektion zuganglich werde

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Romanistik - Franzosisch - Literatur, Note: 1,3, Martin-Luther-Universitat Halle-Wittenberg, Veranstaltung: Roman der Revolte, 11 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mit dieser Hausarbeit mochten wir versuchen, die Mordszenen der Bucher Accuse leve- toi" von Robin und Camus' L'etranger" zu interpretieren und vergleichend gegenuberzustellen, um herauszufinden, ob Camus Accuse leve- toi" als Vorlage, bzw. Inspiration gedient haben konnte, oder ob Robin keine Quelle der Inspiration gewesen ist. In welchem Bezug steht "Accuse leve-toi" von Robin zu "L'etranger" von Camus? Dies soll anhand der Mordszenen vergleichend betrachtet werden. Auch wird dabei die Personenkonstellation, sowie die Hintergrunde betrachtet. Doch wir haben auch den Kontext mit in unsere Anschauung eingegliedert, um so ein grosseres Verstandnis fur die Absichten beider Autoren, diese Werke zu schreiben, zu bekommen. So soll am Anfang eine Zusammenfassung der Abhandlung beider Bucher zur inhaltlichen Einordnung der Mordszenen fuhren. Nach der Interpretation schliessen wir einen Ausblick an, um punktuell auch die Gefangnisszenen zu nutzen, um eine Antwort auf unsere Frage zu finden und letztendlich fugen wir eine Schlussbetrachtung ein, um zusammenfassend beantworten zu konnen, in wieweit Camus sich von Robin inspirieren lie
