Synopsis

This volume contains the proceedings of the 24th IFIP TC 6/WG 6.1 Inter- tionalConference onFormalTechniquesfor Networkedand Distributed Systems (FORTE 2004),held in Madrid, Spain, September 27-30,2004.FORTE denotes a series of international working conferences on formal description techniques applied to computer networks and distributed systems. The conference series started in 1981 under the name PSTV. In 1988 a second series under the name FORTE was set up. Both series were united to FORTE/PSTV in 1996. Three years ago the conference name was changed to its current form. The last ?ve meetings of this well-established conference series were held in Beijing, China (1999), Pisa, Italy (2000), Cheju Island, Korea (2001), Houston, USA (2002), and Berlin, Germany (2003). The scope of the papers presented at FORTE 2004 covered semantic models and application of formal description languages (in particular, automata and Petri Nets), as well as the veri?cation and testing of communication and d- tributedsystems.Theconferencewasprecededby2half-daytutorialsbyRoberto GorrieriandFarnWang.Theproceedingscontainthe20regularpapersaccepted and presented at the conference.

About this title

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th IFIP WG 6. 1 International Conference on Formal Techniques for Networked and Distributed Systems, FORTE 2004, held in Madrid, Spain, in September 2004. The 20 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 54 submissions. Among the topics addressed are state-based specification, distributed Java objects, UML and SDL, algorithm verification, communicating automata, design recovery, formal protocol testing, testing and model checking, distributed real-time systems, formal composition, distributed testing, automata for ACTL, symbolic state space representation, pi-calculus, concurrency, Petri nets, routing protocol verification, and intrusion detection.
