"By a specification language we understand a formal system of syntax, semantics and proof rules. The syntax and semantics define a language; the proof rules define a proof system. Specifications are expressions in the language, and reasoning over properties of these specifications is done within the proof system. This book presents comprehensive studies on nine specification languages and their logics of reasoning. With extensive references and pointers to future developments, this book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students engaged with formal specification languages."--Jacket. Read more...
