Algebraic specification as formal method for software development -- Act one -- a language for parameterized specifications -- Algebraic specification of modular systems -- The act environment -- A formal notions of algebraic specifications -- User manuals for tool support.
The intention of this book is to show how algebraic specification methods can be used for software development to support reliability, modifiability and reusability. These methods are introduced by parameterized and module specifications through practical examples and case studies using algebraic specification languages and tools developed at TU Berlin.
