Book Description
This volume gives a coherent presentation of the outcome of the project PROSPECTRA (PROgram development by SPECification and TRAnsformation) that aims to provide a rigorous methodology for developing correct software and a comprehensive support system. The results are substantial: a theoretically well-founded methodology covering the whole development cycle, a very high-level specification and transformation language family allowing meta-program development and formalization of the development process itself, and a prototype development system supporting structure editing, incremental static-semantic checking, interactive context-sensitivetransformation and verification, development of transformation (meta-) programs, version management, and so on, with an initial libraryof specifications and a sizeable collection of implemented transformations. The intended audience for this documentation is the academic community working in this and related areas and those members of the industrial community interested in the use of formal methods.

Specification and Transformation of Programs
Author: Helmut A. Partsch
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642615120
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 508
Book Description
"Specification and transformation of programs" is short for a methodology of software development where, from a formal specification of a problem to be solved, programs correctly solving that problem are constructed by stepwise application of formal, semantics-preserving transformation rules. The approach considers programming as a formal activity. Consequently, it requires some mathematical maturity and, above all, the will to try something new. A somewhat experienced programmer or a third- or fourth-year student in computer science should be able to master most of this material - at least, this is the level I have aimed at. This book is primarily intended as a general introductory textbook on transformational methodology. As with any methodology, reading and understanding is necessary but not sufficient. Therefore, most of the chapters contain a set of exercises for practising as homework. Solutions to these exercises exist and can, in principle, be obtained at nominal cost from the author upon request on appropriate letterhead. In addition, the book also can be seen as a comprehensive account of the particular transformational methodology developed within the Munich CIP project.

Program Specification and Transformation
Author: Lambert Meertens
Publisher: North Holland
ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
The economic construction of correct and efficient programs is the central issue in the field of program specification and transformation. Research in this field is crucial, with the advent of cheap computing power in a society increasingly dependent on the availability of error-free programs. In recognizing this need, this book presents examination of a variety of aspects - from practical experience in applying transformational methodology, to actual production of software, via examples of transformational derivations of algorithms. By thus illustrating the state of the art, and providing results of recent research, the book should not only aid scientists but also show professionals just how their work will be influenced by these developments.

ESOP '88
Author: Harald Ganzinger
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540190271
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
The volume contains the 23 papers selected for presentation at the ESOP '88 Conference, Nancy 1988. The theme of the ESOP conferences is the design, specification and implementation of programming languages and systems. Particular emphasis is placed on work in which an implemented system embodies an important concept or formal model of programming in such a way that its usefulness is demonstrated. Among the five sections of the volume, the one on language implementation contains the most papers. Here a rather wide spectrum of aspects, ranging from language implementation problems on parallel architectures and optimization of functional programs to new concepts for programming environments is covered. Another large section consists of papers in the area of algebraic specification and type concepts. The papers in this section are devoted to issues such as polymorphism, subtypes and notions of implementation and reuse for algebraic specifications. Two further sections are devoted to new language concepts and novel approaches to program development and verification.
