Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems - 13th International Conference, Tacas 2007. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Volume 4424. (Electronic book text)

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems, TACAS 2007, held in Braga, Portugal in March/April 2007 as part of ETAPS 2007, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software.

The 45 revised full research papers and 9 revised tool demonstration papers presented together with 1 invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 204 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on software verification, probabilistic model checking and markov chains, static analysis, markov chains and real-time systems, timed automata and duration calculus, assume-guarantee reasoning, biological systems, abstraction refinement, message sequence charts, automata-based model checking, specification languages, security, software and hardware verification, decision procedures and theorem provers, model checking, as well as infinite-state systems.
