This volume contains the proceedings of the Eighth International Workshop on Rewriting Logic and its Applications (WRLA 2010) that was held in Paphos, Cyprus, March 20–21, 2010, as a satellite workshop of the European Joint C- ferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS 2010). Rewriting logic is a natural semantic framework for representing conc- rency,parallelism,communicationandinteraction,aswellasbeing anexpressive (meta)logical framework for representing logics. It can then be used for spe- fying a wide range of systems and programming languages in various appli- tion ?elds. In recent years, several executable speci?cation languages based on rewriting logic (ASF+SDF, CafeOBJ, ELAN, Maude) have been designed and implemented. The aim of the WRLA workshop series is to bring together - searchers with a common interest in rewriting logic and its applications, and to give them the opportunity to present their recent works, discuss future research directions, and exchange ideas. Previous WRLA workshops were held in Asilomar (1996), Pont-a-Mousson ` (1998), Kanazawa (2000), Pisa (2002), Barcelona (2004), Vienna (2006), and Budapest (2008), and their proceedings have been published inElectronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science. In addition, selected papers from WRLA 1996 have been published in a special issue of Theoretical Computer Science,and selected papers from WRLA 2004 appeared in a special issue of Higher-Order and Symbolic Computation.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 11th International Workshop on Rewriting Logic and its Applications, WRLA 2016, held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2016, in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in April 2016. The 8 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers and 3 abstracts were carefully reviewed and selected from 14 submissions. The papers cover several topics such as: foundations; rewriting as a logical and semantic framework; rewriting languages; verification techniques; and applications.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Rewriting Logic and its Applications, WRLA 2014, held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2014, in Grenoble, France, in March 2014. The 13 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 submissions. The papers address a great diversity of topics in the fields of foundations and models of RL; languages based on RL; RL as a logical framework; RL as a semantic framework; use of RL to provide rigorous support for model-based software engineering; formalisms related to RL; verification techniques for RL specifications; comparisons of RL with existing formalisms having analogous aims; application of RL to specification and analysis of distributed systems and physical systems.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Rewriting Logic and its Applications, WRLA 2012, held as a satellite event of ETAPS 2012, in Tallinn, Estonia, in March 2012. The 8 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 12 initial submissions and 5 invited lectures. The papers address a great diversity of topics in the fields of rewriting logic such as: foundations and models, languages, logical and semantic framework, model-based software engineering, real-time and probabilistic extensions, verification techniques, and distributed systems.

This book constitutes selected papers from the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Workshop on Rewriting Logic and Its Applications, WRLA 2022, held in Munich, Germany, in April 2022. The 9 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 13 submissions. They focus on topics in rewriting logic and its applications. The book also contains 2 invited papers, 2 invited tutorials and an experience report.

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 12th International Workshop on Rewriting Logic and Its Applications, WRLA 2018, held in Thessaloniki, Greece, in June 2018. The 12 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 submissions. They deal with rewriting, a natural model of computation and an expressive semantic framework for concurrency, parallelism, communication, and interaction, and its applications.

This Festschrift volume contains 28 refereed papers including personal memories, essays, and regular research papers by close collaborators and friends of José Meseguer to honor him on the occasion of his 65th birthday. These papers were presented at a symposium at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on September 23-25, 2015. The symposium also featured invited talks by Claude and Hélène Kirchner and by Patrick Lincoln. The foreword of this volume adds a brief overview of some of José's many scientific achievements followed by a bibliography of papers written by José.

This volume - honoring the computer science pioneer Joseph Goguen on his 65th Birthday - includes 32 refereed papers by leading researchers in areas spanned by Goguen's work. The papers address a variety of topics from meaning, meta-logic, specification and composition, behavior and formal languages, as well as models, deduction, and computation, by key members of the research community in computer science and other fields connected with Joseph Goguen's work.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th IFIP TC 5 International Conference on Computer Science and Its Applications, CIIA 2015, held in Saida, Algeria, in May 2015. The 56 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 225 submissions. The papers are organized in the following four research tracks: computational intelligence; security and network technology; information technology; and software engineering.
