FM'99 - Formal Methods: World Congress on Formal Methods in the Development of Computing Systems, Toulouse, France, September 20-24, 1999 Proceedings, Volume II (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

Formal methods are coming of age. Mathematical techniques and tools are now regarded as an important part of the development process in a wide range of industrial and governmental organisations. A transfer of technology into the mainstream of systems development is slowly, but surely, taking place. FM'99, the First World Congress on Formal Methods in the Development of Computing Systems, is a result, and a measure, of this new-found maturity. It brings an impressive array of industrial and applications-oriented papers that show how formal methods have been used to tackle real problems. These proceedings are a record of the technical symposium ofFM'99:alo- side the papers describingapplicationsofformalmethods, youwill ndtechnical reports, papers, andabstracts detailing new advances in formaltechniques, from mathematical foundations to practical tools. The World Congress is the successor to the four Formal Methods Europe Symposia, which in turn succeeded the four VDM Europe Symposia. This s- cession re?ects an increasing openness within the international community of researchers and practitioners: papers were submitted covering a wide variety of formal methods and application areas. The programmecommittee re?ects the Congress's international nature, with a membership of 84 leading researchersfrom 38 di erent countries. The comm- tee was divided into 19 tracks, each with its own chair to oversee the reviewing process.

The 92 revised full papers presented in the two volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 259 paper submissions from 35 different countries. Also included are 15 abstracts describing work in progress and industrial applications. The papers are organized in topical sections. This volume contains the following sections: foundations of system specification (IFIP WG 1.3); European Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS); program verification; integration of notation and techniques; formal description of programming concepts (IFIP WG 2.2); open information systems; co-design; refinement; safety; OBJ/Cafe OBJ/Maude; Abstract State Machines (ASM) and Algebraic Methods in Software Technology (AMAST); avionics; works-in-progress; industrial experience
