Constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Rewriting Logic and its Applications, WRLA 2010, held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2010, Paphos, Cyprus, in March 2010.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop, FTSCS 2013, held in Queenstown, New Zealand, in October 2013. The 17 revised full papers presented together with an invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 32 submissions. The papers address various topics related to the application of formal and semi-formal methods to improve the quality of safety-critical computer systems.

This classroom-tested textbook provides an accessible introduction to the design, formal modeling, and analysis of distributed computer systems. The book uses Maude, a rewriting logic-based language and simulation and model checking tool, which offers a simple and intuitive modeling formalism that is suitable for modeling distributed systems in an attractive object-oriented and functional programming style.

Topics and features: introduces classical algebraic specification and term rewriting theory, including reasoning about termination, confluence, and equational properties; covers...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Formal Techniques for Safety-Critical Systems, FTSCS 2014, held in Luxembourg, in November 2014. The 14 revised full papers presented together with two invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The papers address various topics related to the application of formal and semi-formal methods to improve the quality of safety-critical computer systems.

This Festschrift volume contains 28 refereed papers including personal memories, essays, and regular research papers by close collaborators and friends of Jose Meseguer to honor him on the occasion of his 65th birthday.
These papers were presented at a symposium at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on September 23-25, 2015. The symposium also featured invited talks by Claude and Helene Kirchner and by Patrick Lincoln. The foreword of this volume adds a brief overview of some of Jose's many scientific achievements followed by a bibliography of papers written by Jose.
