About this title

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Fifth International AMAST Workshop on Formal Methods for Real-Time and Probabilistic Systems, ARTS '99, held in Bamberg, Germany in May 1999.The 17 revised full papers presented together with three invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on verification of probabilistic systems, model checking for probabilistic systems, semantics of probabilistic process calculi, semantics of real-time processes, real-time compilation, stochastic process algebra, and modeling and verification of real-time systems.
