Write a review
Offering an introduction to formal specification using the "Z" notation, this practical text makes use of a series of case studies, of varying complexity, to illustrate the construction of good specifications in "Z". The text also includes an introduction to other aspects, such as theorem proving.
Offering an introduction to formal specification using the "Z" notation, this practical text makes use of a series of case studies, of varying complexity, to illustrate the construction of good specifications in "Z". These case studies serve to describe the most frequently used features of "Z", the relevant discrete mathematics and the various techniques used. The text also includes an introduction to specification validation, theorem proving and refinement. The importance of formal methods within software engineering is stressed throughout and there are a large number of exercises with solutions.

Software engineering - why formal methods?; aspects of specification; the digital watch; predicate logic; the van hire system (part 1); the van hire system (part 2); supporting system description; the online monitor; after specification - what else?
