Larch: Languages and tools for formal specification
- TEXTS AND MONOGRAPHS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
, 1993
"... Building software often seems harder than it ought to be. It takes longerthan expected, the software's functionality and performance are not as wonderful as hoped, and the software is not particularly malleable or easyto maintain. It does not have to be that way. This book is about programmin ..."

The intended audience is practicing programmers and students in undergraduate or basicgraduate courses in software engineering or formal methods. To make the book accessible to such an audience, we

A Formal Specification of dMARS
, 1998
"... The Procedural Reasoning System (PRS) is the best established agent architecture currently available. It has been deployed in many major industrial applications, ranging from fault diagnosis on the space shuttle to air traffic management and business process control. The theory of PRS-like syst ..."

Visualization of Formal Specifications

"... Formal specification techniques provide precise and analyzable software specifications. However, formal notations provided by most formal specification techniques are not easy to use and understand for most people. Our approach counters this difficulty by visualizing formal specifications. In this p ..."

Formal Specifications and Algebraic Specifications
"... In this paper I will adopt a rather restrictive definition of “formal specifications”. I will say that a specification framework is “formal ” if it contains: • a rigorous syntax entirely defining what a specifier is allowed to write (to obtain a “speci-fication”) ..."

Another Formal Specification Language

Specification plays a central role here; therefore, better means of specification improve productivity. One way of achieving this may be the use of formal specification languages, which have the advantag ..."
