This volume contains the proceedings of TESTCOM/FATES 2008, a joint c- ference of two communities: TESTCOM was the 20th edition of the IFIP TC6/ WG6.1 International Conference on Testing of Communicating Systems and FATESwasthe8theditionoftheInternationalWorkshoponFormalApproaches to Testing of Software. TESTCOM/FATES 2008 was held at the Campus In- vation Center in Tokyo, Japan during June 10-13, 2008. Testing is one of the most important techniques for validating and che- ing the correctness of communication and software systems. Testing, however, is also a laborious and very cost-intensive...

This volume contains the proceedings of FORTE 2008, 28th IFIP WG6.1 - ternational Conference on Formal Techniques for Networked and Distributed Systems. FORTE 2008 was held at the Campus Innovation Center in Tokyo, Japan during June 10 13, 2008. FORTE denotes a series of international wo- ing conferences on formal description techniques applied to computer networks and distributed systems. The conference series started in 1981 under the name PSTV. In 1988 a second series under the name FORTE was set up. Both - ries were united to FORTE/PSTV in 1996. In 2001 the conference changed the name to...

The first International Workshop on Machine Learning in Medical Imaging, MLMI 2010, was held at the China National Convention Center, Beijing, China on Sept- ber 20, 2010 in conjunction with the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) 2010. Machine learning plays an essential role in the medical imaging field, including image segmentation, image registration, computer-aided diagnosis, image fusion, ima- guided therapy, image annotation, and image database retrieval. With advances in me- cal imaging, new imaging modalities, and...
