Zusammenfassung: The French School of Programming is a collection of insightful discussions of programming and software engineering topics, by some of the most prestigious names of French computer science. The authors include several of the originators of such widely acclaimed inventions as abstract interpretation, the Caml, OCaml and Eiffel programming languages, the Coq proof assistant, agents and modern testing techniques. The book is divided into four parts: Software Engineering (A), Programming Language Mechanisms and Type Systems (B), Theory (C), and Language Design and Programming Methodology (D). They are preceded by a Foreword by Bertrand Meyer, the editor of the volume, a Preface b...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Unifying Theories of Programming, UTP 2016, held in Reykjavik, Iceland, in June 2016, in conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods, iFM 2016. The 8 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 10 submissions. They deal with the fundamental problem of combination of formal notations and theories of programming that define in various different ways many common notions, such as abstraction refinement, choice, termination, feasibility, locality, concurrency, and communication. They also show that despite many differences, such theories may be unified in a way that greatly facilitates their study and comparison.
This volume contains the proceedings of MPC 2004, the Seventh International Conference on the Mathematics of Program Construction. This series of c- ferences aims to promote the development of mathematical principles and te- niquesthataredemonstrablyusefulinthe processofconstructingcomputerp- grams, whether implementedinhardwareorsoftware. Thefocus isontechniques that combine precision with conciseness, enabling programs to be constructed by formal calculation. Within this theme, the scope of the series is very diverse, including programmingmethodology, programspeci?cation and transformation, programming paradigms, programming calculi, and programming language - mantics.

This book contains enough mnaterial for three complete courses of study. It provides an introduction to the world of logic, sets and relations. It explains the use of the Znotation in the specification of realistic systems. It shows how Z specifications may be refined to produce executable code; this is demonstrated in a selection of case studies. The essentials of specification, refinement and proof are covered, revealing techniques never previously published. Exercises, Solutions and set of Tranparencies are available via http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/usingz.html
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Unifying Theories of Programming, UTP 2008, held at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, in September 2008. The 15 revised full papers presented, together with two invited talks, were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. Based on the pioneering work on unifying theories of programming of Tony Hoare, He Jifeng, and others, the aims of this Symposium series are to continue to reaffirm the significance of the ongoing UTP project, to encourage efforts to advance it by providing a focus for the sharing of results by those already actively contributing, and to raise awareness of the benefits of such a unifying theoretical framework among the wider computer science and software engineering communities.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference of Z and B users, ZB 2005, held in Guildford, UK in April 2005. The 25 revised full papers presented together with extended abstracts of 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers document the recent advances for the Z formal specification notation and for the B method, ranging from foundational, theoretical, and methodological issues to advanced applications, tools, and case studies.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing, ICTAC 2008 held in Istanbul, Turkey in September 2008. The 27 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from over 70 submissions. The aim of the colloquium is to bring together practitioners and researchers from academia, industry and government to present research results, and exchange experience, ideas, and solutions for their problems in theoretical aspects of computing such as automata theory and formal languages, principles and semantics of programming languages, software architectures and their description languages, software specification, refinement, and verification, model checking and theorem proving, real-time, embedded and hybrid systems, theory of parallel, distributed, and internet-based (grid) computing, simulation and modeling, and service-oriented development.
Centuries of self-imposed isolation have transformed Nulapeiron into a world unlike any other - a world of vast subterranean cities maintained by extraordinary organic technologies. For the majority of its peoples, however such wonders have little meaning. Denied their democratic rights and restricted to the impoverished lower levels, they are subjected to the brutal law of the Logic Lords and the Oracles, supra-human beings whose ability to truecast the future maintains the status quo. But all this is about to change. In a crowded marketplace a mysterious, beautiful woman is brutally cut down by a militia squad's graser fire. Amongst the horrified onlookers is young Tom Corcorigan. He recog...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 14th Brazilian Symposium on Formal Methods, SBMF 2011, held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in September 2011; co-located with CBSoft 2011, the second Brazilian Conference on Software: Theory and Practice. The 13 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The papers presented cover a broad range of foundational and methodological issues in formal methods for the design and analysis of software and hardware systems as well as applications in various domains.
