Since 1995, when the SPIN workshop series was instigated, SPIN workshops have been held on an annual basis at Montr eal (1995), New Brunswick (1996), Enschede (1997), Paris (1998), Trento (1999), Toulouse (1999), Stanford (2000), andToronto(2001).

This year, SPIN 2002 was held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2002, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. The co-location of SPIN workshops with conferences has proven to be very successful and has helped to disseminate SPIN model checking technology to wider audiences. Since 1999, the proceedings of the SPIN workshops have appeared in Springer-Verlag's 'Lecture Notes in Computer Science' series. The history of successful SPIN workshops is evidence for the maturing of model checking technology, not only in the hardware domain, but increasingly also in the software area. While in earlier years algorithms and tool development 1 around the SPIN model checker were the focus of this workshop series, the scopehasrecentlywidenedtoincludemoregeneralapproachestosoftwaremodel checking.

About this title

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International SPIN Workshop on Model Checking Software, held in Grenoble, France in April 2002 as a satellite event of ETAPS 2002. The 10 revised full research papers presented together with the abstracts of four invited papers or tutorials, three reports on work in progress, three invited industrial presentations, and four SPIN model checking tool descriptions were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. The book presents state-of-the-art results on the analysis and verifications of distributed and concurrent systems using the SPIN model checker as one of the most powerful and popular such system.
