- TITLE: Reactive Systems: From Requirements to Verifiable Models to Code

- ABSTRACT: Software systems are complicated, and the scientific and 
engineering methodologies for software development are relatively young. We 
need robust methods for handling the ever-increasing complexity of software 
systems that are now in every corner of our lives. In this talk I will focus on 
asynchronous event-based reactive systems and show how we start from the 
requirements, move to actor-based models, verify the models for correctness, 
and build executable codes based on that. I show how we can use the 
architecture design and sequence diagrams to build the behavioral model, and 
the state diagrams to write the properties of interest, and then use model 
checking to check the properties. We then refine the verified models to develop 
the executable code. The natural mappings among the models for requirements, 
the formal models, and the executable code improve the effectiveness and 
efficiency of the approach. It also helps in runtime monitoring and adaptation.

== SPECIAL ISSUE ==

During the last three decades, automation in internet services and applications 
development has gone mainstream. Software development teams strive to automate 
as much of the software development activities as possible. Automation helps, 
in fact, to reduce development time and cost, as well as to concentrate 
knowledge by bringing quality into every step of the development process. 
Realizing high-quality internet services and applications requires producing 
software that is efficient, error-free, cost-effective, and that satisfies 
customer requirements. Thus, one of the most crucial factors impacting software 
quality concerns not only the automation of the development process but also 
the ability to verify the outcomes of each process activity and the goodness of 
the resulting software product as well.

This JISA Thematic Series aims at new automated software development methods 
and techniques, compositional verification theories, integration architectures, 
flexible and dynamic composition, and automated planning mechanisms.

We seek contributions at various levels: from foundational aspects to concrete 
application experiments; from modeling to verification and analysis; from 
deployment to execution; from (industrial) experience papers and case-studies, 
to tool demonstrations and visionary papers; papers describing novel research 
contributions and innovative applications are of particular interest
