This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 18th Brazilian Symposium on Formal Methods, SBMF 2015, which took place in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in September 2015.

The 11 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 25 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: model checking; languages and semantics; refinement and verification; testing and evaluation.

A Bridge to Higher Mathematics is more than simply another book to aid the transition to advanced mathematics. The authors intend to assist students in developing a deeper understanding of mathematics and mathematical thought.

The only way to understand mathematics is by doing mathematics. The reader will learn the language of axioms and theorems and will write convincing and cogent proofs using quantifiers. Students will solve many puzzles and encounter some mysteries and challenging problems.

The emphasis is on proof. To progress towards...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 5th Joint International Semantic Technology Conference, JIST 2015, held in Yichang, China, in November 2015.

The theme of the JIST 2015 conference was "Big Data and Social Media." The JIST 2015 conference consisted of main technical tracks including 2 keynotes, 2 invited talks, a regular technical paper track (full and short papers), an in-use track, a poster and demo session, workshop, and tutorial.

The 14 full and 8 short papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 43 submissions. The...

This handbook offers the first comprehensive reference guide to the interdisciplinary field of model-based reasoning. It highlights the role of models as mediators between theory and experimentation, and as educational devices, as well as their relevance in testing hypotheses and explanatory functions. The Springer Handbook merges philosophical, cognitive and epistemological perspectives on models with the more practical needs related to the application of this tool across various disciplines and practices. The result is a unique, reliable source of information that guides readers toward...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Tests and Proofs, TAP 2016, held as part of STAF 2016, in Vienna, Austria, in July 2016.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Developments in Language Theory, DLT 2016, held in Montreal, QC, Canada, in July 2016.

The 32 full papers and 4 abstracts of invited papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. This volume presents current developments in formal languages and automata, especially from the following topics and areas: combinatorial and algebraic properties of words and languages; grammars, acceptors and transducers for strings, trees, graphs, arrays; algebraic theories for automata and...

This book questions the relevance of computation to the physical universe. Our theories deliver computational descriptions, but the gaps and discontinuities in our grasp suggest a need for continued discourse between researchers from different disciplines, and this book is unique in its focus on the mathematical theory of incomputability and its relevance for the real world. The core of the book consists of thirteen chapters in five parts on extended models of computation; the search for natural examples of incomputable objects; mind, matter, and computation; the nature of information,...

This is a collection of new investigations and discoveries on the theory of opposition (square, hexagon, octagon, polyhedra of opposition) by the best specialists from all over the world.

The papers range from historical considerations to new mathematical developments of the theory of opposition including applications to theology, theory of argumentation and metalogic.

The two-volume set LNCS 9779 and LNCS 9780 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Computer Aided Verification, CAV 2016, held in Toronto, ON, USA, in July 2016.
