Fourth International Workshop on Verification and Evaluation of Computer and Communication Systems (VECoS 2010) - Index

Abstract

The International Workshop on Verification and Evaluation of Computer and Communication Systems (VECoS) was created by an Euro-Maghrebian network of researchers in computer science. VECoS 2010 is co-organised by the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers and École Nationale Supérieure de Techniques Avancées with cooperation of Méthodes Formelles pour les Systèmes Logiciels et Matériels Group, and sponsored by Formal Methods Europe. This conference is sponsored by: Formal Methods Europe The first edition tooks place in Algiers on 5-6 May 2007 (VECoS 2007), the second edition in Leeds on 2-3 July 2008 (VECoS 2008), the third edition in Rabat on 2-3 July 2009 (VECoS 2009). The aim of VECoS workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the areas of verification, control, performance, quality of service, dependability evaluation and assessment, to discuss the state of the art for solving the challenges facing us today in various modern computer and communication systems in which functional and extra functional properties are strongly interrelated. Thus, the main motivation for VECoS is to encourage the cross-fertilisation between formal verification and evaluation approaches, methods and techniques, especially those based on the specification formalisms for concurrent, distributed and soft/hard systems. Beyond its technical and scientific goals, another main purpose of VECoS is to promote collaboration between participants in research and education in the area of computer science and engineering.
