The proceedings consist of a keynote paper by Alberto followed by 6 invited papers written by Lorenzo Clemente (U. Warsaw), Alain Finkel (U. Paris-Saclay), John Gallagher (Roskilde U. and IMDEA Software Institute) et al., Neil Jones (U. Copenhagen) et al., Michael Leuschel (Heinrich-Heine U.) and Maurizio Proietti (IASI-CNR) et al.. These invited papers are followed by 4 regular papers accepted at VPT 2020 and the papers of HCVS 2020 which consist of three contributed papers and an invited paper on the third competition of solvers for Constrained Horn Clauses. In addition, the abstracts (in HTML format) of 3 invited talks at VPT 2020 by Andrzej Skowron (U. Warsaw), Sophie Renault (EPO) and Moa Johansson (Chalmers U.), are included.

This volume contains the post-proceedings of the 8th Workshop on Horn Clauses for Verification and Synthesis (HCVS), which took place virtually due to Covid-19 pandemic as an affiliated workshop of ETAPS.
Many Program Verification and Synthesis problems of interest can be modeled directly using Horn clauses and many recent advances in the CLP and CAV communities have centered around efficiently solving problems presented as Horn clauses. The HCVS series of workshops aims to bring together researchers working in the two communities of Constraint/Logic Programming (e.g., ICLP and CP), Program Verification (e.g., CAV, TACAS, and VMCAI), and Automated Deduction (e.g., CADE, IJCAR), on the topic of Horn clause based analysis, verification, and synthesis. Horn clauses for verification and synthesis have been advocated by these communities in different times and from different perspectives and HCVS is organized to stimulate interaction and a fruitful exchange and integration of experiences.
The previous VPT 2020 workshop was organized in honour of Professor Alberto Pettorossi on the occasion of his academic retirement from Universit`a di Roma Tor Vergata. Due to the pandemic the VPT 2020 meeting was cancelled but its proceeding have already appeared in the EPTCS 320 volume. The joint VPT-20-21 event has subsumed the original programme of VPT 2020 and provided an opportunity to meet and celebrate the achievements of Professor Alberto Pettorossi; its programme was further expanded with the newly submitted presentations for VPT 2021. The aim of the VPT workshop series is to provide a forum where people from the areas of program transformation and program verification can fruitfully exchange ideas and gain a deeper understanding of the interactions between those two fields.
This volume contains a final and revised selection of papers presented at the Seventh International Workshop on Verification and Program Transformation (VPT 2019), which took place in Genova, Italy, on April 2nd, 2019, affiliated with Programming 2019.
This paper surveys recent work on applying analysis and transformation techniques that originate in the field of constraint logic programming (CLP) to the problem of verifying software systems. We present specialisation-based techniques for translating verification problems for different programming languages, and in general software systems, into satisfiability problems for constrained Horn clauses (CHCs), a term that has become popular in the verification field to refer to CLP programs. Then, we describe static analysis techniques for CHCs that may be used for inferring relevant program properties, such as loop invariants. We also give an overview of some transformation techniques based on specialisation and fold/unfold rules, which are useful for improving the effectiveness of CHC satisfiability tools. Finally, we discuss future developments in applying these techniques.
