This year's edition of the international federated conferences on Distributed Computing Techniques took place in Lisbon during June 9-11. It was hosted by the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon and formally organized by the Institute of Telecommunications, the research center I am associated with. The DisCoTecconferences jointly coverthe completespectrum ofdistributed computing subjects ranging from theoretical foundations to formal speci?cation techniques to practical considerations. The event this year comprised the 11th...

Previous editions of the workshop were held in Pisa, Italy (WS-FM 2004), Versailles, France(WS-FM 2005), Vienna, Austria (WS-FM 2006) and Brisbane, Australia (WS-FM 2007). The aim of the workshop series is to bring together researchers working on web servicesand formal methods in order to catalyzefruitful collaboration. Web service (WS)...

Static analysis is increasingly recognized as a fundamental tool for program veri?cation, bug detection, compiler optimization, program understanding, and software maintenance. The series of Static Analysis Symposia has served as the primaryvenueforpresentationoftheoretical, practical, andapplicationadvances in the area. This volume contains the proceedings of the 16th International Static An- ysis Symposium (SAS 2009), which was held August 9-11, 2009 at UCLA, U- versity of California, Los Angeles, USA. The previous SAS conferences were held in Valencia, Spain (2008); Kongens Lyngby, Denmark...

As software systems become increasingly ubiquitous, issues of dependability become ever more crucial. Given that solutions to these issues must be considered from the very beginning of the design process, it is reasonable that dependability and security are addressed at the architectural level. This book has originated from an effort to bring together the research communities of software architectures, dependability and security.

This state-of-the-art survey contains expanded and peer-reviewed papers based on the carefully selected contributions to two workshops: the Workshop on...

This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP 2013), held in Uppsala, Sweden, in September 2013. The 61 revised papers presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully selected from 138 submissions. The scope of the conference is on all aspects of computing with constraints, including: theory, algorithms, environments, languages, models and systems, applications such as decision making, resource allocation, and agreement technologies.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing, ESOCC 2013, held in Malaga, Spain, in September 2013. The 11 full papers presented together with 4 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. The volume also contains 3 papers from the industrial track. Service-oriented computing including Web services as its most important implementation platform has become the most important paradigm for distributed software development and application. The papers illustrate how cloud computing aims at...
