The Pernambuco School on Software Engineering (PSSE) 2004 was the ?rst in a series of events devoted to the study of advanced computer science and to the promotion of international scienti?c collaboration. The main theme in 2004 was re?nement (or rei?cation). Re?nement describes the veri?able relationship between a speci?cation and its implementation; it also describes the process of discoveringappropriateimplementations, givena speci?cation.Thus, in oneway or another, re?nement is at the heart of the programming process, and so is the major daily activity of...

This work investigates the design of compilers for procedural languages, based on the algebraic laws which these languages satisfy. The particular strategy adopted is to reduce an arbitrary source program to a general "normal form", capable of representing an arbitrary target machine. This is acheived by a series of normal form reduction theorems which are proved algebraically from the more basic laws. The normal form and the related reduction theorems can then be instantiated to design compilers for distinct target machines. This constitutes the main novelty of the author's approach to...

The Pernambuco School on Software Engineering (PSSE) 2007 was the second in a series of events devoted to the study of advanced computer science and to the promotion of international scienti?c collaboration. The main theme in 2007 was testing. Testing is nowadays a key activity for assuring software quality. The summer school and its proceedings were intended to give a detailed tutorial introduction to the scienti?c basis of this activity and its state of the art.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing, ICTAC 2016, held in Taipei, Taiwan, in October 2016.
The 23 revised full papers presented together with two short papers, two invited papers and one abstract of an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 60 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on program verification; design, synthesis and testing; calculi; specifications; composition and transformation; automata; temporal logics; tool and short papers.
