Book excerpt: Formal engineering methods are changing the way that software systems are - veloped.Withlanguageandtoolsupport,theyarebeingusedforautomaticcode generation, and for the automatic abstraction and checking of implementations. In the future, they will be used at every stage of development: requirements, speci?cation, design, implementation, testing, and documentation. The ICFEM series of conferences aims to bring together those interested in the application of formal engineering methods to computer systems. Researchers and practitioners, from industry, academia, and government, are encouraged to attend,andtohelpadvancethestateoftheart.Authorsarestronglyencouraged to make their ideas as accessible as possible, and there is a clear emphasis upon work that promises to bring practical, tangible bene?t: reports of case studies should have a conceptual message, theory papers should have a clear link to application, and papers describing tools should have an account of results. ICFEM 2004 was the sixth conference in the series, and the ?rst to be held in North America. Previous conferences were held in Singapore, China, UK, A- tralia, and Japan. The Programme Committee received 110 papers and selected 30forpresentation.The?nalversionsofthosepapersareincludedhere,together with 2-page abstracts for the 5 accepted tutorials, and shorter abstracts for the 4 invited talks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the digital version of the printed book (Copyright © 2004). Testing is not a phase. Software developers should not simply throw software over the wall to test engineers when the developers have finished coding. A coordinated program of peer reviews and testing not only supplements a good software development process, it supports it. A good testing life cycle begins during the requirements elucidation phase of software development, and concludes when the product is ready to install or ship following a successful system test. Nevertheless, there is no one true way to test software; the best one can hope for is to possess a formal testing process that fits the needs of the testers as well as those of the organization and its customers. A formal test plan is more than an early step in the software testing process—it's a vital part of your software development life cycle. This book presents a series of tasks to help you develop a formal testing process model, as well as the inputs and outputs associated with each task. These tasks include: review of program plans development of the formal test plan creation of test documentation (test design, test cases, test software, and test procedures) acquisition of automated testing tools test execution updating the test documentation tailoring the model for projects of all sizes Whether you are an experienced test engineer looking for ways to improve your testing process, a new test engineer hoping to learn how to perform a good testing process, a newly assigned test manager or team leader who needs to learn more about testing, or a process improvement leader, this book will help you maximize your effectiveness.

This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is currently an increasing demand for concurrent programs. Checking the correctness of concurrent programs is a complex task due to the interleavings of processes. Sometimes, violation of the correctness properties in such systems causes human or resource losses; therefore, it is crucial to check the correctness of such systems. Two main approaches to software analysis are testing and formal verification. Testing can help discover many bugs at a low cost. However, it cannot prove the correctness of a program. Formal verification, on the other hand, is the approach for proving program correctness. Model checking is a formal verification technique that is suitable for concurrent programs. It aims to automatically establish the correctness (expressed in terms of temporal properties) of a program through an exhaustive search of the behavior of the system. Model checking was initially introduced for the purpose of verifying finite‐state concurrent programs, and extending it to infinite‐state systems is an active research area. In this thesis, we focus on the formal verification of parameterized systems. That is, systems in which the number of executing processes is not bounded a priori. We provide fully-automatic and parameterized model checking techniques for establishing the correctness of safety properties for certain classes of concurrent programs. We provide an open‐source prototype for every technique and present our experimental results on several benchmarks. First, we address the problem of automatically checking safety properties for bounded as well as parameterized phaser programs. Phaser programs are concurrent programs that make use of the complex synchronization construct of Habanero Java phasers. For the bounded case, we establish the decidability of checking the violation of program assertions and the undecidability of checking deadlock‐freedom. For the parameterized case, we study different formulations of the verification problem and propose an exact procedure that is guaranteed to terminate for some reachability problems even in the presence of unbounded phases and arbitrarily many spawned processes. Second, we propose an approach for automatic verification of parameterized concurrent programs in which shared variables are manipulated by atomic transitions to count and synchronize the spawned processes. For this purpose, we introduce counting predicates that related counters that refer to the number of processes satisfying some given properties to the variables that are directly manipulated by the concurrent processes. We then combine existing works on the counter, predicate, and constrained monotonic abstraction and build a nested counterexample‐based refinement scheme to establish correctness. Third, we introduce Lazy Constrained Monotonic Abstraction for more efficient exploration of well‐structured abstractions of infinite‐state non‐monotonic systems. We propose several heuristics and assess the efficiency of the proposed technique by extensive experiments using our open‐source prototype. Lastly, we propose a sound but (in general) incomplete procedure for automatic verification of safety properties for a class of fault‐tolerant distributed protocols described in the Heard‐Of (HO for short) model. The HO model is a popular model for describing distributed protocols. We propose a verification procedure that is guaranteed to terminate even for unbounded number of the processes that execute the distributed protocol.

This book was released on 2003-07-29 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of a FAABS workshop was first conceived in 1998 at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, while the Agent Technology Development Group in the Advanced Architectures and Automation Branch (Code 588) was developing a prototype agent community to automate satellite ground operations. While developing this system, several race conditions arose within and between agents. Due to the complexity of the agents and the communications between them, it was decided that a formal approach was needed to specify the agents and the communications between them, so that the system could be checked for additional errors. A formal model of the inter-agent communications was developed, with the expectation that this would enable us to find more errors. Success in this convinced us of the importance of using formal methods to model agent-based systems. To share our own experiences and to learn how others were approaching these issues, we decided to hold a workshop on formal methods and agent-based systems. The response was overwhelming. The result was the first FAABS workshop, which was held at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Posters, paper presentations, panels, and an invited talk by J Moore stimulated much discussion and subsequent collaboration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Programming multi-core and many-core computing systems Sabri Pllana, Linnaeus University, Sweden Fatos Xhafa, Technical University of Catalonia, Spain Provides state-of-the-art methods for programming multi-core and many-core systems The book comprises a selection of twenty two chapters covering: fundamental techniques and algorithms; programming approaches; methodologies and frameworks; scheduling and management; testing and evaluation methodologies; and case studies for programming multi-core and many-core systems. Program development for multi-core processors, especially for heterogeneous multi-core processors, is significantly more complex than for single-core processors. However, programmers have been traditionally trained for the development of sequential programs, and only a small percentage of them have experience with parallel programming. In the past, only a relatively small group of programmers interested in High Performance Computing (HPC) was concerned with the parallel programming issues, but the situation has changed dramatically with the appearance of multi-core processors on commonly used computing systems. It is expected that with the pervasiveness of multi-core processors, parallel programming will become mainstream. The pervasiveness of multi-core processors affects a large spectrum of systems, from embedded and general-purpose, to high-end computing systems. This book assists programmers in mastering the efficient programming of multi-core systems, which is of paramount importance for the software-intensive industry towards a more effective product-development cycle. Key features: Lessons, challenges, and roadmaps ahead. Contains real world examples and case studies. Helps programmers in mastering the efficient programming of multi-core and many-core systems. The book serves as a reference for a larger audience of practitioners, young researchers and graduate level students. A basic level of programming knowledge is required to use this book.

This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging scientific and industrial applications in today’s world require significant computing power. Modern software tools are available for such platforms but are relatively complex and require the use of innovative programming models. One promising area in modern software design is the development, analysis, and implementation of algorithms and adaptive methods. These advancements in programming are promising but lack relevant research and understanding. Formal and Adaptive Methods for Automation of Parallel Programs Construction: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential reference source that solves the problem of the development of efficient models, methods, and tools for parallel programming automation based on the algebra of algorithms, term rewriting, and auto-tuning paradigms. The results of this book will help to further develop and improve existing research on design, synthesis, and optimization of sequential and parallel algorithms and programs. Featuring research on topics such as auto-tuning methods, graphics processing, and algorithmic language, this book is ideally designed for mathematicians, software engineers, data scientists, researchers, academicians, and students seeking coverage on developing tools for automated design and parallel programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the 2002 symposium Formal Methods th Europe (FME 2002). The symposium was the 11 in a series that began with a VDM Europe symposium in 1987. The symposia are traditionally held every 18 months. In 2002 the symposium was held at the University of Copenhagen, as part of the 2002 Federated Logic Conference (FLoC 2002), which brought - gether in one event seven major conferences related to logic in computer science, as well as their a?liated workshops, tutorials, and tools exhibitions. Formal Methods Europe (www.fmeurope.org) is an independent association which aims to stimulate the use of, and research on, formal methods for software development. FME symposia have been notably successful in bringing together a community of users, researchers, and developers of precise mathematical - thods for software development. The theme of FME 2002 was “Formal Methods: Getting IT Right”. The double meaning was intentional. On the one hand, the theme acknowledged the signi?cant contribution formal methods can make to Information Technology, by enabling computer systems to be described precisely and reasoned about with rigour. On the other hand, it recognized that current formal methods are not perfect, and further research and practice are required to improve their foundations, applicability, and e?ectiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multicore microprocessors are now at the heart of nearly all desktop and laptop computers. While these chips offer exciting opportunities for the creation of newer and faster applications, they also challenge students and educators. How can the new generation of computer scientists growing up with multicore chips learn to program applications that exploit this latent processing power? This unique book is an attempt to introduce concurrent programming to first-year computer science students, much earlier than most competing products. This book assumes no programming background but offers a broad coverage of Java. It includes over 150 numbered and numerous inline examples as well as more than 300 exercises categorized as "conceptual," "programming," and "experiments." The problem-oriented approach presents a problem, explains supporting concepts, outlines necessary syntax, and finally provides its solution. All programs in the book are available for download and experimentation. A substantial index of at least 5000 entries makes it easy for readers to locate relevant information. In a fast-changing field, this book is continually updated and refined. The 2014 version is the seventh "draft edition" of this volume, and features numerous revisions based on student feedback. A list of errata for this version can be found on the Purdue University Department of Computer Science website.
