This volume contains the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Computer Aided Veri?cation (CAV 2000) held in Chicago, Illinois, USA during 15-19 July 2000. The CAV conferences are devoted to the advancement of the theory and practice of formal methods for hardware and software veri?cation. The con- rence covers the spectrum from theoretical foundations to concrete applications, with an emphasis on veri?cation algorithms, methods, and tools together with techniques for their implementation. The conference has traditionally drawn contributions from both researchers and practitioners in academia and industry. This year 91 regular research papers were submitted out of which 35 were - cepted, while 14 brief tool papers were submitted, out of which 9 were accepted for presentation. CAV included two invited talks and a panel discussion. CAV also included a tutorial day with two invited tutorials. Many industrial companies have shown a serious interest in CAV, ranging from usingthe presented technologies in their business to developing and m- keting their own formal veri?cation tools. We are very proud of the support we receive from industry. CAV 2000 was sponsored by a number of generous andforward-lookingcompaniesandorganizationsincluding:CadenceDesign- stems, IBM Research, Intel, Lucent Technologies, Mentor Graphics, the Minerva Center for Veri?cation of Reactive Systems, Siemens, and Synopsys. TheCAVconferencewasfoundedbyitsSteeringCommittee:EdmundClarke (CMU), Bob Kurshan (Bell Labs), Amir Pnueli (Weizmann), and Joseph Sifakis (Verimag).

The assumptions underlying alcohol education programs, and the impact of such programs are examined from the perspectives of inferential and deductive logic. The inconclusiveness of empirical evidence concerning program effectiveness leads to the adoption of a position of "relative agnosticism," according to which we can compensate for our state of empirical ignorance by giving greater attention to the deductive logic implied in the assumptions underlying alcohol education. Common flaws in the deductive logic of alcohol education are identified; a series of increasingly sound underlying syllogisms is proposed, leading to the establishment of (inductively and deductively) logically sound objectives and targets for alcohol education programs. A review of existing empirical evidence concerning effectiveness of alcohol education is combined with the outcome of the deductive-logical analysis, resulting in a series of explicit, realistic, recommendations for effective alcohol programming.

The popularity of animated simulation as a tool for modeling and analyzing business processes is growing. This is due to the fact that it offers a number of benefits for modeling such processes, among which the ability to capture their stochastic character, represent the changes in their characteristics in the course of time and model and visualize their dynamic behavior. The current research focuses on the application of animated simulation for the modeling of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) management processes. A number of issues in building simulation models of such processes are identified, which include the lack of generally adopted concepts and approaches and the low degree of comparability and reusability of the results of simulation studies. In order to address these issues a conceptual framework, a set of reusable simulation constructs and a step-by-step approach for simulating ICT management processes were developed as part of this research. The conceptual framework allows for capturing relevant characteristics of these processes, among which the tasks carried out as part of the processes, the workplaces at which they are carried out, the exchanged information and the used equipment. The simulation constructs, implemented as a simulation template in the ARENA simulation environment, provide the programming definitions and logic necessary to represent these characteristics in a simulation model. The step-by-step approach describes the steps that have to be taken to build such a model using the developed conceptual framework and simulation constructs. The way in which the conceptual framework, the simulation template and the step-by-step approach can be applied for building ICT management simulation models is described based on two test cases carried out in two organizations in The Netherlands.

It is argued that modular architecture allows us to create large product variety at lower cost, and in a shorter development cycle time. While it has been widely recognized that modular design improves assemblability, the manufacturability of modules themselves have rarely been considered during modularization. This paper presents a formal and integrated framework for product modularization by optimizing manufacturability of modules and costs of modularization during the earlier stages of product development. A fuzzy logic approach is used to handle the vague and imprecise product information available during the concept development phase of product development. The framework also facilitates sensitivity analysis to provide design engineers and managers with deeper insights on tradeoffs among conflicting design objectives. The methodology is validated through a case study on the modularization of an automotive climate control system. Significance: This paper emphasizes manufacturability and the cost of modularizations while determining optimal modules;it is a newer approach to modularization that is validated through a case study from the automotive industry.

The education and training for outstanding engineers is a comprehensive strategy. It relates to many aspects, such as curriculum development and teaching material selection, the investment of teaching equipments and experimental facilities, theory and practice teaching, performance evaluation mechanism, on campus study and off campus exercise, learning before graduation and application after graduation, and so on. It needs collaborative optimization and improvement together of these aspects. Programmable logic controller(PLC) has become a required course in engineering colleges, because of its wide application prospect. In this paper, we analyze the factors that influence the teaching and training of outstanding engineers taking the course of PLC as an example, and we illustrate the technique and methods that mastering PLC programming taking a large number of sequence control in power plant as examples.
