Software Fault Prevention, Verification, and Validation First International Symposium, SFPVV 2024, Hiroshima, Japan, December 2–3, 2024, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Symposium on Software Fault Prevention, Verification, and Validation, SFPVV 2024, held in Hiroshima, Japan, during December 2–3, 2024.

The 18 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 39 submissions. This  SFPVV 2024 symposium encourages the exchange of ideas and discussion on how formal methods, testing-based techniques, AI-driven approaches, and their combinations can be explored, established, and refined to achieve the goals of software fault preven tion, verification, and validation.
