PLDI '09: ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation Jun 15, 2009-Jun 21, 2009 Dublin, Ireland. You can view more information about this proceeding and all of ACMs other published conference proceedings from the ACM Digital Library: http://www.acm.org/dl.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems, APLAS 2012, held in Kyoto, Japan, in December 2012. The 24 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on concurrency, security, static analysis, language design, dynamic analysis, complexity and semantics, and program logics and verification.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2010, held in Paphos, Cyprus, in March 2010, as part of ETAPS 2010, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. The 30 revised full papers, presented together with two invited talks (one abstract and one full), were carefully reviewed and selected from 121 full paper submissions. The topics addressed include programming paradigms and styles, methods and tools to write and specify programs and languages, methods and tools for reasoning about programs, methods and tools for implementation, and concurrency and distribution.

Recent decades have seen major advances in methods and tools for checking the safety and security of software systems. Automatic tools can now detect security flaws not only in programs of the order of a million lines of code, but also in high-level protocol descriptions. There has also been something of a breakthrough in the area of operating system verification. This book presents the lectures from the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Tools for Analysis and Verification of Software Safety and Security; a summer school held at Bayrischzell, Germany, in 2011. This Advanced Study Institute was divided into three integrated modules: Foundations of Safety and Security, Applications of Safety Analysis and Security Analysis. Subjects covered include mechanized game-based proofs of security protocols, formal security proofs, model checking, using and building an automatic program verifier and a hands-on introduction to interactive proofs. Bringing together many leading international experts in the field, this NATO Advanced Study Institute once more proved invaluable in facilitating the connections which will influence the quality of future research and the potential to transfer research into practice. This book will be of interest to all those whose work depends on the safety and security of software systems.
