This volume contains the proceedings of the Eighth Workshop on Model-Based Testing (MBT 2013), which was held on March 17, 2013 in Rome, Italy, as a satellite event of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2013. The workshop is devoted to model-based testing of both software and hardware. Model-based testing uses models describing the required behavior of the system under consideration to guide such efforts as test selection and test results evaluation. Testing validates the real system behavior against models and checks that the implementation conforms to them, but is capable also to find errors in the models themselves. The first MBT workshop was held in 2004, in Barcelona. At that time MBT already had become a hot topic, but the MBT workshop was the first event devoted mostly to this domain. Since that time the area has generated enormous scientific interest, and today there are several specialized workshops and more broad conferences on software and hardware design and quality assurance covering model based testing. MBT has become one of the most powerful system analysis tools, one of the latest cutting-edge topics related is applying MBT in security analysis and testing. MBT workshop tries to keep up with current trends.
This volume contains the proceedings of the Ninth Workshop on Model-Based Testing (MBT 2014), which was held in Grenoble, France on April 6, 2014 as a satellite workshop of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS 2014).
This volume contains the proceedings of the Eighth Workshop on Mathematically Structured Functional Programming (MSFP 2020). The meeting was originally scheduled to take place in Dublin, Ireland on the 25th of April as a satellite event of the European Joint Conferences on Theory & Practice of Software (ETAPS 2020). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ETAPS 2020, and consequently MSFP 2020, has been postponed to a date yet to be determined. The MSFP workshop highlights applications of mathematical structures to programming applications. We promote the use of category theory, type theory, and formal language semantics to the development of simple and reasonable programs. This years papers cover a variety of topics ranging from array programming to dependent types to effects.
This volume contains the proceedings of the Eighth Workshop on Quantitative Aspects of Programming Languages (QAPL 2010), held in Paphos, Cyprus, on March 27-28, 2010. QAPL 2010 is a satellite event of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS 2010). The workshop theme is on quantitative aspects of computation. These aspects are related to the use of physical quantities (storage space, time, bandwidth, etc.) as well as mathematical quantities (e.g. probability and measures for reliability, security and trust), and play an important (sometimes essential) role in characterising the behavior and determining the properties of systems. Such quantities are central to the definition of both the model of systems (architecture, language design, semantics) and the methodologies and tools for the analysis and verification of the systems properties. The aim of this workshop is to discuss the explicit use of quantitative information such as time and probabilities either directly in the model or as a tool for the analysis of systems.
This volume contains the proceedings of F-IDE 2019, the fifth international workshop on Formal Integrated Development Environment, which was held on October 7, 2019 in Porto, Portugal, as part of FM19, the 3rd World Congress on Formal Methods. High levels of safety, security and privacy standards require the use of formal methods to specify and develop compliant software (sub)systems. Any standard comes with an assessment process, which requires a complete documentation of the application in order to ease the justification of design choices and the review of code and proofs. Thus tools are needed for handling specifications, program constructs and verification artifacts. The aim of the F-IDE workshop is to provide a forum for presenting and discussing research efforts as well as experience returns on design, development and usage of formal IDE aiming at making formal methods easier for both specialists and non-specialists.
This volume contains the proceedings of the first workshop on Advances in Systems of Systems (AISOS13), held in Roma, Italy, March 16. System-of-Systems describes the large scale integration of many independent self-contained systems to satisfy global needs or multi-system requests. Examples are smart grid, intelligent buildings, smart cities, transport systems, etc. There is a need for new modeling formalisms, analysis methods and tools to help make trade-off decisions during design and evolution avoiding leading to sub-optimal design and rework during integration and in service. The workshop should focus on the modeling and analysis of System of Systems. AISOS13 aims to gather people from different communities in order to encourage exchange of methods and views.
