This Festschrift volume, dedicated to Marjan Sirjani on the occasion of her 60th birthday, includes refereed papers by leading researchers. Marjan Sirjani received her PhD in Computer Engineering from Sharif University of Technology for work on the Formal Specification and Verification of Concurrent and Reactive Systems. After Postdoc, Lecturer, Visiting Scholar, Associate Professor, and Professor positions in Iran, The Netherlands, Iceland, and the US, she has been a Professor in the School of Innovation, Design and Engineering of Mälardalen University since 2016. Her main fields of interest are Software Engineering, Formal Methods, Cyber-Physical Systems Analysis, Model Checking, Distributed Systems, and Applying Formal Methods in System Design. Among other successes, Marjan invented the Rebeca modelling language, one of the best-known actor-based languages with a formal semantics and a wealth of analysis and verification tools. Rebeca has been used in modelling and analysis of a wide range of systems, including in domains such as biomedical engineering, automotive, and aviation. Throughout her career, Marjan has trained many students and worked successfully with a range of scientists and engineers across disciplines, these collaborations are reflected in the papers in this volume.

Rigorous theory and real-world applications for modeling and analysis of the behavior of complex communicating computer systems Complex communicating computer systems—computers connected by data networks and in constant communication with their environments—do not always behave as expected. This book introduces behavioral modeling, a rigorous approach to behavioral specification and verification of concurrent and distributed systems. It is among the very few techniques capable of modeling systems interaction at a level of abstraction sufficient for the interaction to be understood and analyzed. Offering both a mathematically grounded theory and real-world applications, the book is suitable for classroom use and as a reference for system architects. The book covers the foundation of behavioral modeling using process algebra, transition systems, abstract data types, and modal logics. Exercises and examples augment the theoretical discussion. The book introduces a modeling language, mCRL2, that enables concise descriptions of even the most intricate distributed algorithms and protocols. Using behavioral axioms and such proof methods as confluence, cones, and foci, readers will learn how to prove such algorithms equal to their specifications. Specifications in mCRL2 can be simulated, visualized, or verified against their requirements. An extensive mCRL2 toolset for mechanically verifying the requirements is freely available online; this toolset has been successfully used to design and analyze industrial software that ranges from healthcare applications to particle accelerators at CERN. Appendixes offer material on equations and notation as well as exercise solutions.
