This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2003, held in Warsaw, Poland, in April 2003.

The 25 revised full papers presented together with two invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 99 submissions. Among the topics addressed are programming paradigms and their integration, program semantics, calculi of computation, security, advanced type systems, program analysis, program transformation, and practical algorithms based on theoretical developments.

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...

This volume contains the proceedings of the 7th Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology (CMSB 2009), held in Bologna, from August 31 to September 1, 2009. The ?rst CMSB was held in Trento in 2003, bringing together life scientists, computer scientists, engineers and physicists. The goal was to promote the c- vergence of di?erent disciplines aiming at a new understanding and description of biological systems, ?rmly ground in formal models, supported by compu- tionallanguagesandtools, ando?eringnew methodsofanalysis.The conference then moved to Paris in 2004, Edinburgh in 2005,...

The Joint Workshop on "Automated Reasoning for Security Protocol Analysis and Issues in the Theory of Security" (ARSPA-WITS 2009) was held in York, UK, March 28-29, 2009, in association with ETAPS 2009. ARSPA is a series of workshops on "Automated Reasoning for Security P- tocol Analysis," bringing together researchers and practitioners from both the security andthe formalmethods communities, from academiaand industry, who are working on developing and applying automated reasoning techniques and tools for the formal speci?cation and analysis of security protocols. The ?rst two ARSPA workshops...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Formal Aspects of Security and Trust, FAST 2010, held as part of the 8th IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods, SEFM 2010 in Pisa, Italy in September 2010. The 14 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions. The papers focus of formal aspects in security and trust policy models, security protocol design and analysis, formal models of trust and reputation, logics for security and trust,...
