This book ?nds new things to do with an old idea. The proofs-as-programs paradigm constitutes a set of approaches to developing programs from proofs in constructive logic. It has been over thirty years since the paradigm was ?rst conceived. At that time, there was a belief that proofs-as-programs had the - tential for practical application to semi-automated software development. I- tial applications were mostly concerned with ?ne-grain, mathematical program synthesis. For various reasons, research interest in the area eventually tended toward more theoretic issues of constructive logic and...

This volume contains the presentations of the Fifth Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 88) held at the University of Bordeaux, February 11-13, 1988. In addition to papers presented in the regular program the volume contains abstracts of software systems demonstrations which were included in this conference series in order to show applications of research results in theoretical computer science. The papers are grouped into the following thematic sections: algorithms, complexity, formal languages, rewriting systems and abstract data types, graph grammars, distributed...

This volume contains the papers accepted for presentation at the 4th International Symposium on Programming Language Implementation and Logic Programming (PLILP 1992) held in Leuven, Belgium, August 26-28, 1992. The aim of the symposium was to explore new declarative concepts, methods and techniques relevant for implementation of all kinds of programming languages, whether algorithmic or declarative. The symposium gathered researchers from the fields of algorithmic programming languages as well as logic, functional and object-oriented programming. The topics discussed in the volume include:...

The aim of the Third International Symposium on Programming Language Implementation and Logic Programming was to explore declarative concepts, methods and techniques relevant for implementation of all kinds of programming languages. Along with the two invited talks, this book also contains 32 papers, and abstracts of several system demonstrations.

Web engineering is a new discipline that addresses the pressing need for syst- atic and tool-supported approaches for the development, maintenance and te- ing of Web applications. Web engineering builds upon well-known and succe- ful software engineering principles and practices, adapting them to the special characteristics of Web applications. Even more relevant is the enrichment with methods and techniques stemming from related areas like hypertext authoring, human-computer interaction, content management, and usability engineering. The goal of the 4th International Conference on Web...

This volume contains the papers from the workshop "Radical Innovations of Software and Systems Engineering in the Future." This workshop was the ninth in the series of Monterey Software Engineering workshops for formulating and advancing software engineering models and techniques, with the fundamental theme of increasing the practical impact of formal methods. During the last decade object orientation was the driving factor for new system solutions in many areas ranging from e-commerce to embedded systems. New modeling languages such as UML and new programming languages such as Java and CASE...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Algebraic Methodology and Software Technology, AMAST '96, held in Munich, Germany, in July 1996.
The book presents 25 revised full papers selected from a total of 67 submissions and 23 system demonstrations; also included are six invited talks and six invited presentations of the AMAST Education Day on industrial applications of formal methods. The full papers are organized in topical sections on theorem proving, algebraic specification, concurrent and reactive systems, program verification, logic...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 16th International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques, WADT 2002, held at Frauenchiemsee, Germany in September 2002.The 20 revised full papers presented together with 6 invited papers were carefully improved and selected from 44 workshop presentations during two rounds of reviewing. The papers are devoted to topics like formal methods for system development, specification languages and methods, systems and techniques for reasoning about specifications, specification development systems, methods and techniques for...
