Formal Methods for Components and Objects [recurso electrónico] 9th International Symposium, FMCO 2010, Graz, Austria, November 29 - December 1, 2010. Revised Papers

Annotation The focus in development methodologies of large and complex software systems has switched in the last two decades from functional issues to structural issues; this holds for both the object-oriented and the more recent component-based software engineering paradigms. Formal methods have been applied successfully to the verification of medium-sized programs in protocol and hardware design for quite a long time. However, their application to the development of large systems requires more emphasis on specification, modeling and validation techniques supporting the concepts of reusability and modifiability, and their implementation in new extensions of existing programming languages like Java. This state-of-the-art survey presents the outcome of the 9th Symposium on Formal Methods for Components and Objects, held in Graz, Austria, in November/December 2010. The volume contains 20 revised contributions submitted after the symposium by speakers from each of the following European IST projects: the FP7-IST project AVANTSSAR on automated validation of trust and security of service-oriented architectures; the FP7-IST project DEPLOY on industrial deployment of advanced system engineering methods for high productivity and dependability; the ESF-COST Action IC0701 on formal verification of object-oriented software; the FP7-IST project HATS on highly adaptable and trustworthy software using formal models; the FP7-SST project INESS on an integrated European railway signalling system; the FP7-IST project MADES on a model-driven approach to improve the current practice in the development of embedded systems; the FP7-IST project MOGENTES on model-based generation of tests for dependable embedded systems; as well as the FP7-IST project MULTIFORM on integrated multi-formalism tool support for the design of networked embedded control systems Front Matter....Pages - ASLan++ — A Formal Security Specification Language for Distributed Systems....Pages 1-22 Orchestration under Security Constraints....Pages 23-44 Customizing Protocol Specifications for Detecting Resource Exhaustion and Guessing Attacks....Pages 45-60 Improving the Usability of Specification Languages and Methods for Annotation-Based Verification....Pages 61-79 Program Specialization via a Software Verification Tool....Pages 80-101 Model–Based Analysis Tools for Component Synthesis....Pages 102-121 Shared Event Composition/Decomposition in Event-B....Pages 122-141 ABS: A Core Language for Abstract Behavioral Specification....Pages 142-164 A Component Model for the ABS Language....Pages 165-183 Compositional Algorithmic Verification of Software Product Lines....Pages 184-203 Variability Modelling in the ABS Language....Pages 204-224 Automated Verification of Executable UML Models....Pages 225-250 Verification of UML Models by Translation to UML-B....Pages 251-266 Towards the UML-Based Formal Verification of Timed Systems....Pages 267-286 Generic Fault Modelling for Fault Injection....Pages 287-296 Tightening Test Coverage Metrics: A Case Study in Equivalence Checking Using k -Induction....Pages 297-315 The Hierarchical Compositional Interchange Format....Pages 316-335 Application of Model-Checking Technology to Controller Synthesis....Pages 336-351 Testing Real-Time Systems under Uncertainty....Pages 352-371 Model-Checking and Simulation for Stochastic Timed Systems....Pages 372-391 Back Matter....Pages -
