Tools and algorithms for the construction and analysis of systems : 11th international conference, TACAS 2005, held as part of the Joint European Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2005, Edinburgh, UK, April 4-8, 2005 : proceedings

ETAPS 2005 was the eighth instance of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. ETAPS is an annual federated conference that was established in 1998 by combining a number of existing and new conf- ences. This year it comprised ?ve conferences (CC, ESOP, FASE, FOSSACS, TACAS), 17 satellite workshops (AVIS, BYTECODE, CEES, CLASE, CMSB, COCV, FAC, FESCA, FINCO, GCW-DSE, GLPL, LDTA, QAPL, SC, SLAP, TGC, UITP), seven invited lectures (not including those that were speci?c to the satellite events), and several tutorials. We received over 550 submissions to the ?ve conferences this year, giving acceptance rates below 30% for each one. Congratulations to all the authors who made it to the ?nal program! I hope that most of the other authors still found a way of participating in this exciting event and I hope you will continue submitting. The events that comprise ETAPS address various aspects of the system - velopment process, including speci?cation, design, implementation, analysis and improvement. The languages, methodologies and tools which support these - tivities are all well within its scope. Di?erent blends of theory and practice are represented, with an inclination towards theory with a practical motivation on the one hand and soundly based practice on the other. Many of the issues involved in software design apply to systems in general, including hardware s- tems,andtheemphasisonsoftwareisnotintendedtobeexclusive.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems, TACAS 2005, held in Edinburgh, UK in April 2005 as part of ETAPS.

The 33 revised full research papers and 8 revised tool demonstration papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 161 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on regular model-checking, infinite state machines, abstract interpretation, automata and logics, probabilistic systems and probabilistic model checking, satisfiability, testing, abstraction and reduction, specification and program synthesis, and model-checking.

"This volume contains the proceedings of the 11th TACAS, International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems. TACAS 2005 took place in Edinburgh, UK, April 4-8, 2005."
