This book consitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Computer Aided Verification, CAV'98, held in Vancouver, BC, Canada, in June/July 1998. The 33 revised full papers and 10 tool papers presented were carefully selected from a total of 117 submissions. Also included are 11 invited contributions. Among the topics covered are modeling and specification formalisms; verification techniques like state-space exploration, model checking, synthesis, and automated deduction; various verification techniques; applications and case studies, and verification in practice.
