Sommario/riassunto

"ISO 14001 is the star standard among the International Organization for Standardization's ISO 14000 series of environmental management standards. It has seen spectacular growth since its launch in September 1996. Worldwide registrations are set to pass the 20,000 mark in 2000 with 20 times that number reportedly waiting in the wings. In 30 explicit but concise chapters, ISO 14001: Case Studies and Practical Experiences seeks to unravel the truth behind what can and cannot be achieved by ISO 14001 and aims to provide readers with enough knowledge to make choices about its relevance and importance not only to their worlds but also to society. Written by leading practitioners, certifiers, consultants, government and academics, the book examines



both the real benefits and the shortcomings organizations have experienced with ISO 14001. We learn from both. Far more ambitious than an implementation guide, the book will provide those readers struggling with the standard first-hand experiences of the real issues they will face in implementing their EMS and, just as importantly, what certifiers look for when they visit firms. ISO 14001: Case Studies and Practical Experiences is a warts-and-all expose of ISO 14001: the issues tackled; the problems faced and overcome; and, above all, the astonishing flexibility of its uses and the diversity of its users. This important book is a must for businesses, researchers, consultants, government officials, students, NGOs and support organisations who want more than just another how-to-do-it manual; but rather the truth about how ISO 14001 is really working on the ground."--Provided by publisher.

Sommario/riassunto

These proceedings contain the papers presented at the 8th Internationl S- posium on Automated Technology for Veri'cation and Analysis held during September 21-24, 2010 in Singapore. The primary objective of the ATVA c- ferences remains the same: to exchange and promote the latest advances of state-of-the-art research on theoretical and practical aspects of automated an- ysis, veri'cation and synthesis. From 72 papers submitted to ATVA 2010 in response to our call for papers, the Program Committee accepted 21 regular papers and 9 tool papers. Each paper received at least three reviews. The Program Committee worked hard to ensure that every submission received a rigorous and fair evaluation, with the ?nalprogramselectedaftera10-dayonlinediscussionsviatheEasychairsystem.

A new feature for the ATVA symposium this year were the two co-located workshops, In'nity 2010 (co-chaired by Yu-Fang Chen and Ahmed Rezine) and PMCW 2010 (co-chaired by Jun Sun and Hai Wang). We are delighted with the expanded scope, interactions and depth that the two



workshops helped bring to the symposium. Many people worked hard and o'ered their valuable time so generously to make ATVA 2010 successful. First and foremost, we would like to thank all authors who worked hard to complete and submit papers to the conference.
