This book constitutes the proceedings of the 35th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Formal Techniques for Distributed Objects, Components and Systems, FORTE 2015, held in Grenoble, France, in June 2015, as part of the 10th International Federated Conference on Distributed Computing Techniques, DisCoTec 2015. The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 53 submissions. The papers present a wide range of topics on distributed computing models and formal specification, testing, and verification methods.

The Automated Technology for Veri? cation and Analysis (ATVA) international symposium series was initiated in 2003, responding to a growing interest in formal veri? cation spurred by the booming IT industry, particularly hardware design and manufacturing in East Asia. Its purpose is to promote research on automated veri? cation and analysis in the region by providing a forum for int- action between the regional and the international research/industrial commu- ties of the ? eld. ATVA 2006, the fourth of the ATVA series, was held in Beijing, China, October 23-26, 2006. The main topics of the symposium include th- ries useful for providing designers with automated support for obtaining correct software or hardware systems, as well as the implementation of such theories in tools or their application. This year, we received a record number of papers: a total of 137 submissions from 27 countries. Each submission was assigned to three Program Comm- tee members, who could request help from subreviewers, for rigorous and fair evaluation. The ? nal deliberation by the Program Committee was conducted through Springer’s Online Conference Service for a duration of about 10 days after nearly all review reports had been collected. In the end, 35 papers were selected for inclusion in the program. ATVA 2006 had three keynote speeches given respectively by Thomas Ball, Jin Yang, and Mihalis Yannakakis. The main symposium was preceded by a tutorial day, consisting of three two-hourlectures given by the keynotespeakers.

Since 1995, SPIN workshops have been held annually in various locations, including Montreal, New Brunswick, Enschede, Paris, Trento, Toulouse, Stanford, Toronto, Grenoble, and Portland. Most workshops have been organized as satellite events of larger conferences such as CAV, TACAS, FORTE/PSTV, FLOC, the World Congress on Formal Methods, FMOODS, ICSE, and ETAPS. This year, SPIN was again held alongside ETAPS 2004. The co-location with conferences has successfully broadened the reach of SPIN model checking technology. Since 1999, the proceedings have been published in Springer-Verlag’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The ongoing success of SPIN workshops reflects the maturation of model checking technology, expanding beyond hardware to software applications. Initially focused on algorithms and tool development for the SPIN model checker, the workshops have evolved to encompass a wider range of software model checking techniques, tools, and applications. The SPIN workshop has established itself as a key forum for practitioners and researchers interested in model checking techniques for validating and analyzing communication protocols and software systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems, TACAS 2000, held as part of ETAPS 2000 in Berlin, Germany, in March/April 2000. The 33 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper and two short tool descriptions were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 107 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on software and formal methods, formal methods, timed and hybrid systems, infinite and parameterized systems, diagnostic and test generation, efficient model checking, model-checking tools, symbolic model checking, visual tools, and verification of critical systems.
