About this title

Synopsis

This volume presents the set of papers accompanying the lectures of the 9th International School on Formal Methods for the Design of Computer, Com- nication and Software Systems (SFM). Thisseriesofschoolsaddressestheuseofformalmethodsincomputerscience asaprominentapproachtotherigorousdesignofcomputer, communication, and software systems. The main aim of the SFM series is to o?er a good spectrum of current research in foundations as well as applications of formal methods, which can be of help for graduate students and young researchers who intend to approach the ?eld. SFM 2009 was devoted to formal methods for Web services and covered s- eral aspects including choreography, orchestration, description techniques, - teraction, synthesis, composition, session types, contracts, veri?cation, security, and performance. This volume comprises eight articles. Bruni's paper overviews some of the most recently proposed abstractions in the setting of process calculi tailored to the well-disciplined handling of issues such as long-running interactions, orch- tration, and unexpected events. Van der Aalst, Mooij, Stahl, and Wolf provide some foundational notions related to service interaction and address in a Petri net setting challenges like how to expose a service, how to replace and re?ne services, and how to generate service adapters. The paper by Marconi and - store presents a survey of existing approaches to the synthesis of Web service compositions, a di?cult and error-pronetask that requires automated solutions.

From the Back Cover

This book presents a set of 8 papers accompanying the lectures of leading researchers given at the 9th edition of the International School on Formal Methods for the Design of Computer, Communication and Software Systems, SFM 2009, held in Bertinoro, Italy, in June 2009.

SFM 2009 was devoted to formal methods for web services and covered several aspects including coreography, orchestration, description techniques, interaction, synthesis, composition, session types, contracts, verification, security, and performance.
