Description
This work provides a structured introduction to programme verification and the semantics of structured concurrent programmes. Sequential programmes in the form of deterministic and nondeterministic programmes, and concurrent programmes in the form of parallel and distributed programmes, are considered within the context of their partial and total correctness. The book is appropriate for either a one- or two-term introductory course on programme verification for senior undergraduate studies or for graduate students. It can also be used as an introduction to operational semantics. Outlines of ideas for one-term courses are described in the preface. Within the book, the authors systematically discuss five classes of programmes, concentrating on operational semantics, syntax-directed assertional proof systems, soundness proofs of the proof systems, programme transformations, correctness proofs of the programme transformations and correctness proofs of a substantial example. Each chapter is organized in a systematic manner and ends with a list of exercises. The material presented here draws on work which until now was only available in the form of advanced research publications.
This monograph on programme logics and semantics, mathematical logic and normal language and the theory of computation is intended for academics teaching senior undergraduate and graduate-level courses.
