Synopsis

This is the proceedings of the 11th edition of the Algebraic Methodology and Software Technology (AMAST) conference series. The ?rst conference was held in the USA in 1989, and since then AMAST conferences have been held on (or near) ?ve di?erent continents and have been hosted by many of the most prominent people and organizations in the ?eld. The AMAST initiative has always sought to have practical e?ects by dev- oping the science of software and basing it on a ?rm mathematical foundation. AMAST hasinterpretedsoftwaretechnologybroadly,andhas, for example, held AMAST workshops in areas as diverse as real-time systems and (natural) l- guage processing. Similarly, algebraic methodology is interpreted broadly and includes abstract algebra, category theory, logic, and a range of other ma- ematical subdisciplines. The truly distinguishing feature of AMAST is that it seeks rigorous mathematical developments, but always strives to link them to real technological applications. Our meetings frequently include industry-based participants and are a rare opportunity for mathematicians and mathema- callymindedacademicstointeracttechnicallywithindustry-basedtechnologists. Over the years AMAST has included industrial participants from organizations specializing in safety-critical (including medical) systems, transport (including aerospace), and security-critical systems, amongst others.

About this title

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Algebraic Methodology and Software Technology, AMAST 2006, held in Kuressaare, Estonia in July 2006, co-located with MPC 2006, the 8th International Conference on Mathematics of Program Construction. The 24 revised full papers presented together with 3 system demonstrations and 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. Among the topics covered are all current issues in formal methods related to algebraic approaches and to software engineering including abstract data types, process algebras, algebraic specification, model checking, abstraction, refinement, mu-calculus, state machines, rewriting, Kleene algebra, programming logic, and formal software development.
