th This volume contains the proceedings of AMAST 2008, the 12 International Conference on Algebraic Methodology and Software Technology, held during July 28-31, 2008, in Urbana, Illinois, USA. The major goal of the AMAST conferences is to promote research toward settingsoftwaretechnologyona?rm,mathematicalbasis.Worktowardthisgoal isacollaborative,internationale?ortwithcontributionsfrombothacademiaand industry. The envisioned virtues of providing software technology developed on a mathematical basis include: correctness, which can be proved mathematically; safety, so that developed software can be used in the implementation of critical systems; portability, i.e., independence from computing platforms and language generations; and evolutionary change, i.e., the software is self-adaptable and evolves with the problem domain. The previous AMAST conferences were held in: Iowa City, Iowa, USA (1989, 1991 and 2000); Twente, The Netherlands (1993); Montreal, Canada (1995); Munich, Germany (1996); Sydney, Australia (1997); Manaus, Brazil (1998); Reunion Island, France (2002); Stirling, UK (2004, colocated with MPC 2004); Kuressaare, Estonia (2006, colocated with MPC 2006). For AMAST 2008 there were 58 submissions, which were thoroughly eva- atedbytheProgramCommittee.Eachsubmissionhadanaverageof?vereviews.
