Service-Oriented Computing is a paradigm for developing and providing software that can address many IT challenges, ranging from integrating legacy systems to building new, massively distributed, interoperable, evaluable systems and applications. The widespread use of SOC demonstrates the practical benefits of this approach. Furthermore it raises the standard for reliability, security, and performance for IT providers, system integrators, and software developers. This book documents the main results of Sensoria, an Integrated Project funded by the European Commission in the period 2005-2010. The book presents, as Sensoria's essence, a novel, coherent, and comprehensive approach to the design, formal analysis, automated deployment, and reengineering of service-oriented applications. Following a motivating introduction, the 32 chapters are organized in the following topical parts: modeling in service-oriented architectures; calculi for service-oriented computing; negotiation, planning, and reconfiguration; qualitative analysis techniques for SOC; quantitative analysis techniques for SOC; model-driven development and reverse engineering for service-oriented systems; and case studies and patterns.

Global computing refers to computation over “global computers,” i. e., com- tational infrastructures available globally and able to provide uniform services with variable guarantees for communication, cooperation and mobility, resource usage, security policies and mechanisms, etc., with particular regard to explo- ing their universal scale and the programmability of their services. As the scope and computational power of such global infrastructures continue to grow, it - comes more and more important to develop methods, theories and techniques for trustworthy systems running on global computers. This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the ? fth e- tion of the International Symposium on Trustworthy Global Computing (TGC 2010)thatwasheldinMunich, Germany, February24-26,2010. TheSymposium on Trustworthy Global Computing is an international annual venue dedicated to safe and reliable computation in global computers. It focuses on providing frameworks, tools, and protocols for constructing well-behaved applications and on reasoning rigorouslyabout their behavior and properties. The related models of computation incorporate code and data mobility over distributed networks with highly dynamic topologies and heterogeneous devices.

KlappentextTo identify the emergent trends in software-intensive and distributed and decentralized computer systems and their impact on the Information Society in the next 10--15 years, the European Commission has established two Coordinated Actions: Initially the project `Beyond the Horizon' and then, starting in 2006, the project `InterLink'. This state-of-the-art survey presents the results of three workshops of the InterLink working group on software-intensive systems and novel computing paradigms. The objective was to imagine the landscape in which next generations of software-intensive systems will operate and the challenges they present to computing, software engineering, cognition and intelligence. The volume starts with an overview of the current state of the art and the research missions in engineering software-intensive systems. The remainder of the book consists of 15 invited papers of the working group participants and is structured in three major parts: ensemble engineering, theory and formal methods, and novel computing paradigms. These papers cover a broad spectrum of relevant topics ranging from methods, languages and tools for ensemble engineering, socio-technical and cyber-physical systems, ensembles in urban environments, formal methods and mathematical foundations for ensembles, orchestration languages to disruptive paradigms such as molecular and chemical computing.

This volume contains the papers from the workshop “Radical Innovations of Software and Systems Engineering in the Future.” This workshop was the ninth in the series of Monterey Software Engineering workshops for formulating and advancing software engineering models and techniques, with the fundamental theme of increasing the practical impact of formal methods. During the last decade object orientation was the driving factor for new system solutions in many areas ranging from e-commerce to embedded systems. New modeling languages such as UML and new programming languages such as Java and CASE tools have considerably in? uenced the system development techniques of today and will remain key techniques for the near future. However, actual practice shows many de? ciencies of these new approaches: – there is no proof and no evidence that software productivity has increased with the new methods; – UML has no clean scienti? c foundations, which inhibits the construction of powerful analysis and development tools; – support for mobile distributed system development is missing; – formanyapplications, object-orienteddesignisnotsuitedtoproducingclean well-structured code, as many applications show.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 16th International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques, WADT 2002, held at Frauenchiemsee, Germany in September 2002. The 20 revised full papers presented together with 6 invited papers were carefully improved and selected from 44 workshop presentations during two rounds of reviewing. The papers are devoted to topics like formal methods for system development, specification languages and methods, systems and techniques for reasoning about specifications, specification development systems, methods and techniques for concurrent, distributed, and mobile systems, and algebraic and co-algebraic methods.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Algebraic Methodology and Software Technology, AMAST '96, held in Munich, Germany, in July 1996. The book presents 25 revised full papers selected from a total of 67 submissions and 23 system demonstrations; also included are six invited talks and six invited presentations of the AMAST Education Day on industrial applications of formal methods. The full papers are organized in topical sections on theorem proving, algebraic specification, concurrent and reactive systems, program verification, logic programming and term rewriting, and algebraic and logical foundations.
