Synopsis

This volume contains the proceedings of AMAST 2002, the 9th International Conference on Algebraic Methodology and Software Technology, held during September 9–13, 2002, in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, R´eunion Island, France. The major goal of the AMAST conferences is to promote research that may lead to setting software technology on a ?rm mathematical basis. This goal is achieved through a large international cooperation with contributions from both academia and industry. Developing a software technology on a mathematical basis p- duces software that is: (a) correct, and the correctness can be proved mathem- ically, (b) safe, so that it can be used in the implementation of critical systems, (c) portable, i. e. , independent of computing platforms and language generations, (d) evolutionary, i. e. , it is self-adaptable and evolves with the problem domain. All previous AMAST conferences, which were held in Iowa City (1989, 1991), Twente (1993), Montreal (1995), Munich (1996), Sydney (1997), Manaus (1999), and Iowa City (2000), made contributions to the AMAST goals by reporting and disseminating academic and industrial achievements within the AMAST area of interest. During these meetings, AMAST attracted an international following among researchers and practitioners interested in software technology, progr- ming methodology, and their algebraic, and logical foundations.

About this title

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Algebraic Methodology and Software Technology, AMAST 2002, held in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, Reunion Island, France in September 2002. The 26 revised full papers presented together with 6 invited papers and 2 system descriptions were carefully reviewed and selected from 59 submissions. Among the topics covered are all current issues in formal methods related to algebraic approaches including abstract data types, process algebras, algebraic specification, semantic specification, model checking, mu-calculus, Petri box algebras, unification, verification of Java for smart cards, security, JML specification, and formal software development.
