This is a systematic and comprehensive introduction both to compositional proof methods for the state-based verification of concurrent programs, such as the assumption-commitment and rely-guarantee paradigms, and to noncompositional methods, whose presentation culminates in an exposition of the communication-closed-layers (CCL) paradigm for verifying network protocols. Compositional concurrency verification methods reduce the verification of a concurrent program to the independent verification of its parts. If those parts are tightly-coupled, one additionally needs verification methods based on the causal order between events. These are presented using CCL. The semantic approach followed here allows a systematic presentation of all these concepts in a unified framework which highlights essential concepts. The book is self-contained, guiding the reader from advanced undergraduate level to the state-of-the-art. Every method is illustrated by examples, and a picture gallery of some of the subject's key figures complements the text.

Over the last few years, object-oriented programming has been recognized as the best way currently available of structuring software systems. It emphasizes grouping together data and the operations performed on them, encapsulating the whole behind a clean interface, and organizing the resulting entities in a hierarchy based on specialization in functionality. In this way it provides excellent support for the construction of large systems. Up to now, there has been relatively little effort to develop formal theories of object-oriented programming. However, for the field to mature, a more formal understanding of the basic concepts of object-oriented programming is necessary. This volume presents the proceedings of the School/Workshop on Foundations of Object-Oriented Programming (FOOL) held in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands, May 28 - June 1, 1990. The workshop was an activity of the project REX (Research and Education in Concurrent Systems).

This volume is based on the "School/Workshop on Linear Time, Branching Time and Partial Order in Logics and Models for Concurrency" organized by the editors and held in the period May 30-June 3, 1988 at Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands. The School/Workshop was an activity of the project REX - Research and Education in Concurrent Systems. The volume contains tutorials and research contributions to the three approaches - linear time, - branching time, and - partial order in semantics and proof theory of concurrent programs by the main specialists in this field. It promotes an in-depth understanding of the relative merits and disadvantages of these three approaches. An introduction to the recent literature on the subject is provided by the invited research contributions.

Researchers working on the semantics of programming languages came together in The Netherlands in June 1992 for a workshop on Semantics - Foundations and Applications. This volume is based on the meeting and contains material prepared by the lecturers after the meeting took place. The volume includes papers on a wide range of topics in both foundationsand applications, including: - Comparative domain theory, category theory, information systems, - Concurrency: process algebras, asynchronous communication, action semantics, trace nets, process refinement, concurrent constraint programming, - Predicate transformers, refinement,weakest preconditions, - Comparative semantics of programming concepts, full abstraction, - Reasoning about programs: total correctness, epistemic logic, - Logic programming, - Functional programming: sequentiality, integration with concurrency, applied structured operational semantics. The workshop was an activity of the project REX (Research andEducation in Concurrent Systems) sponsored by the Netherlands NFI (NationaleFaciliteit Informatica) Programme.
