Description and Table of Contents

Description

Brought together in this book are the most recent developments in research on formal description and analysis of programming concepts, on programming methods and program derivation calculi. A major part of the book is devoted to formal techniques for describing and reasoning about concurrent systems. Specific topics covered are: semantic foundations, design methods, compositional reasoning, refinements of actions and states, and visual specifications formalisms. Furthermore, the book presents novel techniques for the derivation of programs and their analysis, and the use of types in specifications. Researchers, graduate and PhD students in computer science should find this book invaluable.
