Description
The Foundations of Program Verification Second Edition Jacques Loeckx and Kurt Sieber Fachbereich informatik Universitat des Saariandes, Saarbrucken, Germany In collaboration with Ryan D. Stansifer Department of Computer Science Cornell University, USA This revised edition provides a precise mathematical background to several program verification techniques. It concentrates on those verification methods that have now become classic, such as the inductive assertions method of Floyd, the axiomatic method of Hoare, and Scott's fixpoint induction. The aim of the book is to present these different verification methods in a simple setting and to explain their mathematical background in particular the problems of correctness and completeness of the different methods are discussed in some detail and many helpful examples are included.
