Preface
This volume contains the papers presented at the 1st Workshop on Quantitative Formal Methods: Theory and Applications, which was held in Eindhoven on 3 November 2009 as part of the International Symposium on Formal Methods - FM2009.
Quantitative Formal Methods deals with systems whose behaviour of interest is more than the traditional Boolean ``correct'' or ``incorrect'' judgment. Today there are many quantitative aspects of system design: they include timing (whether discrete, continuous or hybrid); probabilistic aspects of success or failure including cost and reward; and quantified information flow. The aim of the workshop was to create a new forum where current and novel theories and application areas of quantitative methods could be discussed, together with the verification techniques that might apply to them. The workshop invited three distinguished speakers, whose talks illustrated both the diversity of quantitative aspects in the design of modern applications and the theory required for their formal treatment:

In response to the call for papers we received 15 full paper submissions. The programme committee selected 6 full papers for presentation at the workshop and publication in these proceedings. Additional four submissions were selected for presentation at the workshop: they represent preliminary work with the potential to open up significant new areas for research. The selection has been carried out by the Programme Committee members:
Mario Bravetti (University of Bologna, Italy) Pieter Collins (CWI, The Netherlands)
Georgios Fainekos (NEC Labs America, USA) Ansgar Fehnker (NICTA, Australia)
Goran Frehse (Verimag, France)
