By presenting state-of-the-art research results on various aspects of formal and visual modeling of software and systems, this book commemorates the 60th birthday of Hartmut Ehrig. The 24 invited reviewed papers are written by students and collaborators of Hartmut Ehrig who are established researchers in their fields.

These proceedings record the papers presented at the 4th International Conf- ence of B and Z Users (ZB 2005), held in the city of Guildford in the south-east ofEngland. Thisconferencebuiltonthesuccessofthepreviousthreeconferences in this series, ZB 2000, held at the University of York in the UK, ZB 2002, held at theLaboratoire Logiciels Syst` emes R¿ eseaux within theInstitut d'Informatique et Math¿ ematique Appliqü ees de Grenoble (LSR-IMAG) in Grenoble, France, and ? ZB 2003, held in Turku in Finland hosted by Abo Akademi University and the TurkuCentreforComputerScience(TUCS). ZB2005washeldattheUniversity of Surrey, Guildford, UK, hosted by the Department of Computing. The U- versity has always placed particular emphasis on the applicability of its research and its relationship with industrial partners. In this context it is building up its formal methods activity as an area of strategic importance, with the establi- ment of a new group within the Department of Computing, and also with its support for this conference. B and Z are two important formal methods that share a common conceptual origin; they are leading approaches in industry and academia for the speci?- tion and development (using formal re?nement) of computer-based systems. At ZB 2005 the B and Z communities met once again to hold a fourth joint c- ference that simultaneously incorporated the 15th International Z User Meeting and the 6th International Conference on the B Method.

On behalf of the PROFES Organizing Committee we are proud to present to you the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Product Focused Software Process Improvement (PROFES 2005), held in Oulu, Finland. SPI is facilitated by software process assessment, software measurement, process modeling, and technology transfer.

Component-based software development is the next step after object-oriented programmingthatpromisesto reducecomplexityandimprovereusability.These advantages have also been identi?ed by the industry, and consequently, over the past years, a large number of component-based techniques and processes have been adopted in many of these organizations.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability, and Security, SAFECOMP 2005, held in Fredrikstad, Norway, in September 2005. The 30 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book.
