Foreword
ETAPS 2009 was the 12th instance of the European Joint Conferences on The-
oryandPracticeofSoftware.ETAPSisanannualfederatedconferencethatwas
establishedin1998bycombininganumberofexistingandnewconferences.This
year it comprised five conferences (CC, ESOP, FASE, FOSSACS, TACAS), 22
satellite workshops (ACCAT, ARSPA-WITS, Bytecode, COCV, COMPASS,
FESCA, FInCo, FORMED, GaLoP, GT-VMT, HFL, LDTA, MBT, MLQA,
OpenCert, PLACES, QAPL, RC, SafeCert, TAASN, TERMGRAPH, and
WING),fourtutorials,andseveninvitedlectures(excludingthosethatwerespe-
cifictothesatelliteevents). The five main conferences received 532 submissions
(including 30 tool demonstration papers), 141 of which were accepted (10 tool
demos), giving an overall acceptance rate of about 26%, with most of the con-
ferences at around 25%. Congratulations therefore to all the authors who made
it to the final programme! I hope that most of the other authors will still have
foundawayofparticipatinginthisexcitingevent,andthatyouwillallcontinue
submitting to ETAPS and contributing towards making it the best conference
on software science and engineering.
The events that comprise ETAPS address various aspects of the system de-
velopmentprocess,including specification,design,implementation,analysisand
improvement. The languages, methodologies and tools which support these ac-
tivities are all well within its scope. Different blends of theory and practice
are represented, with an inclination towards theory with a practical motivation
on the one hand and soundly based practice on the other. Many of the issues
involvedin softwaredesignapply to systems in general,including hardwaresys-
tems, and the emphasis on software is not intended to be exclusive.
ETAPS is a confederation in which each event retains its own identity, with
a separate Programme Committee and proceedings. Its format is open-ended,
allowing it to grow and evolve as time goes by. Contributed talks and system
demonstrations are in synchronised parallel sessions, with invited lectures in
plenary sessions. Two of the invited lectures are reserved for ‘unifying’ talks on
topics ofinterestto the wholerangeofETAPSattendees.The aimofcramming
all this activity into a single one-week meeting is to create a strong magnet for
academic and industrial researchers working on topics within its scope, giving
them the opportunity to learn about research in related areas, and thereby to
fosternewandexistinglinksbetweenworkinareasthatwereformerlyaddressed
in separate meetings.
ETAPS 2009 was organised by the University of York in cooperation with
(cid:1) European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS)
(cid:1) European Association for Programming Languages and Systems (EAPLS)
(cid:1) European Association of Software Science and Technology (EASST)

Preface
This volume contains the proceedings of the 15th International Conference on
Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems (TACAS
2009). TACAS 2009 took place in York, UK, 23–26 March, 2009, as part of the
12th European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS
2009), whose aims, organization, and history are presented in the foreword of
this volume by the ETAPS Steering Committee Chair, Vladimiro Sassone.
TACAS is a forum for researchers, developers, and users interested in rigor-
ously based tools and algorithms for the construction and analysis of systems.
The conference serves to bridge the gaps between different communities that
share common interests in tool development and its algorithmic foundations.
The researchareascoveredby suchcommunities include, butarenotlimited to,
formal methods, software and hardware verification, static analysis, program-
ming languages, software engineering, real-time systems, and communications
protocols. The TACAS forum provides a venue for such communities at which
commonproblems,heuristics,algorithms,datastructuresandmethodologiescan
be discussed and explored. In doing so, TACAS aims to support researchers in
their quest to improve the utility, reliability, flexibility, and efficiency of tools
and algorithms for building systems.
The specific topics covered by the conference included but were not limited
to: specification and verification techniques for finite and infinite-state systems;
softwareandhardwareverification;theorem-provingandmodel-checking;system
construction and transformation techniques; static and run-time analysis; ab-
stractiontechniquesformodeling andvalidation;compositionalandrefinement-
based methodologies; testing and test-case generation; analytical techniques for
secure, real-time, hybrid, critical, biological or dependable systems; integration
of formal methods and static analysis in high-level hardware design or software
environments;toolenvironmentsandtoolarchitectures;SAT solvers;andappli-
cations and case studies.

process, the program selection was carried out in a two-week electronic Pro-
gramCommittee meeting.We believe thatthe committee deliberationsresulted
in a strong technical program. The TACAS 2009 Program Committee selected
StevenMiller (RockwellCollins,USA) as an invitedspeaker,who kindly agreed
VIII Preface
to give a talk entitled “Bridging the Gap Between Model-Based Development
and Model Checking”. The talk presented a translator framework that enables
the use of several popular model checkers with commercial modeling tools and
reported on its successful application in the development of avionics software.
An abstract of this talk is included in this volume.
As TACAS 2009 Program Committee Co-chairs we would like to thank the
authors of all submitted papers, the Program Committee members and all the
referees for their invaluable contribution in guaranteeing such a strong tech-
nical program. We also thank Frank Holzwarth and Martin Karusseit for their
promptsupportwiththeOnlineConferenceSystemusedtomanagetheprogram
selection process and Dominique Gu¨ckel for creating the TACAS 2009 webpage
and helping with the preparation of the proceedings. Finally, we would like to
express our appreciation to the ETAPS Steering Committee and especially its
Chair,VladimiroSassone,aswellastheOrganizingCommittee,chairedbyGer-
ald Lu¨ttgen, for their efforts in making ETAPS 2009 such a successful event.
