The Idea of Program Refinement Programs are complex. They are typically so complex, that they go beyond the full comprehension even of the programmer or team who designed them, with all the consequences this has. How can we cope with such complexity in a satisfactory way? An approach, advocated for a long time, is to separate a concise specification of a program - the "what" - from a possibly involved implementation - the "how." Once a specification is obtained from the set of requirements on the program, there can still be a large gap to an efficient implementation. The development from...

Formal methods traditionally address the question of transforming software engineering into a mature engineering discipline. This essentially refers to trusting that the software-intensive systems that form our society s infrastructures are behaving according to their specifications. More recently, formal methods are also used to understand properties and evolution laws of existing complex and adaptive systems man-made such as smart electrical grids or natural ones such as biological networks. A tribute to Professor Kaisa Sere s contributions to the field of computer science,...
