This Festschrift volume has been published in honor of Frank de Boer, on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
Frank S. de Boer is a prominent member of the research community in formal methods and theoretical computer science. A brief look at his lengthy publication list reveals a broad area of interest and a versatile modus operandi with: logic and constraint programming deductive proof systems, soundness, and completeness semantics, compositionality, and full abstraction process algebra and decidability multithreading and actor-based concurrency agent programming, ontologies, and modal logic real-time systems, timed automata, and schedulability enterprise architectures, choreography, and coordination testing and runtime monitoring and cloud computing and service-level agreements. For a while, he also liked failures, especially in semantics, and optimistically concluded with the failure of failures. In fact, Frank has an opportunistic approach to research. Rather than seeing obstacles, he finds opportunities.
