This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Trust and Trustworthy Computing, TRUST 2013, held in London, UK, in June 2013. There is a technical and a socio-economic track. The full papers presented, 14 and 5 respectively, were carefully reviewed from 39 in the technical track and 14 in the socio-economic track. Also included are 5 abstracts describing ongoing research. On the technical track the papers deal with issues such as key management, hypervisor usage, information flow analysis, trust in network measurement, random number generators, case studies that evaluate trust-based methods in practice, simulation environments for trusted platform modules, trust in applications running on mobile devices, trust across platform. Papers on the socio-economic track investigated, how trust is managed and perceived in online environments, and how the disclosure of personal data is perceived; and some papers probed trust issues across generations of users and for groups with special needs.

Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems

Bernhard Steffen

Oliver Rüthing

The books in this trilogy capture the foundational core of advanced informatics. The authors make the foundations accessible, enabling students to become effective problem solvers. This first volume establishes the inductive approach as a fundamental principle for system and domain analysis. After a brief introduction to the elementary mathematical structures, such as sets, propositional logic, relations, and functions, the authors focus on the separation between syntax (representation) and semantics (meaning), and on the advantages of the consistent and persistent use of inductive definitions. They identify compositionality as a feature that not only acts as a foundation for algebraic proofs but also as a key for more general scalability of modeling and analysis. A core principle throughout is invariance, which the authors consider a key for the mastery of change, whether in the form of extensions, transformations, or abstractions. This textbook is suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses in computer science and for self-study. Most chapters contain exercises and the content has been class-tested over many years in various universities.
