Opis

This is a gently-paced software engineering text that concentrates on the use of formal methods for the development of high integrity software. It assumes no previous knowledge of formal methods, and presents a practical and comprehensive treatment of the subject suitable for second and third year undergraduates on computing courses, and students on taught master's courses. The book is packed with examples and exercises throughout, and is supported by a dedicated web site.
