This book constitutes the proceedings of the 34th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Formal Techniques for Distributed Objects, Components and Systems, FORTE 2014, held in Berlin, Germany, in June 2014, as part of the 9th International Federated Conference on Distributed Computing Techniques, DisCoTec 2014. The 18 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The papers present a wide range of topics on specification languages and type systems, monitoring and testing, security analysis and bisimulation, abstraction and reduction.

This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 10th International Symposium on Formal Aspects of Component Software, FACS 2013, held in Nanchang, China, in October 2013. The 19 full papers and three invited talks presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 51 submissions. The papers are concerned with how formal methods can be used to make component-based development fit for the new architectures of today and the systems that are now pervading the socio-economic worlds.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques and Applications, ASMTA 2014, held in Budapest, Hungary, in June/July 2014. The 18 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The papers discuss the latest developments in analytical, numerical and simulation algorithms for stochastic systems, including Markov processes, queueing networks, stochastic Petri nets, process algebras, game theory, etc.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Reversible Computation, RC 2014, held in Kyoto, Japan, in July 2014. The 14 contributions presented together with three invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on automata for reversible computation; notation and languages for reversible computation; synthesis and optimization for reversible circuits; validation and representation of quantum logic.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Web Services and Formal Methods, WS-FM 2013, held in Beijing, China, in August 2013. The 8 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 19 submissions. They cover aspects such as control-flow relations using Petri nets, consistency of cloud stores, model checking, model-drives design, analysis of context-aware systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th Ada-Europe International Conference on Reliable Software Technologies, Ada-Europe 2014, held in Paris, France, in June 2014. The revised 12 full papers presented together with two keynotes were carefully reviewed and selected from 68 submissions. They are organized in topical sections on formal methods; uses of ada; real-time scheduling; applications.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Model Transformation, ICMT 2014, held in York, UK, in July 2014. The 14 revised papers were carefully selected from 38 submissions. The papers have been organized in topical sections on model transformation testing, foundations of model synchronization, applications of model synchronization and tracing and reverse engineering of transformations.

Traditionally, research on model-driven engineering (MDE) has mainly focused on the use of models at the design, implementation, and verification stages of development. This work has produced relatively mature techniques and tools that are currently being used in industry and academia. However, software models also have the potential to be used at runtime, to monitor and verify particular aspects of runtime behavior, and to implement self-* capabilities (e.g., adaptation technologies used in self-healing, self-managing, self-optimizing systems). A key benefit of using models at runtime is...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Tests and Proofs, TAP 2014, held in York, UK, in July 2014, as part of the STAF 2014 Federated Conferences. The 10 revised full papers and 4 short papers presented together with two tutorial descriptions were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The papers cover topics in the following four research areas: test generation, bridging semantic gaps, integrated development processes and bounded verification.
