Synopsis

Provides an innovative hands-on introduction to techniques for specifying the behaviour of software components. It is primarily intended for use as a text book for a course in the 2nd or 3rd year of Computer Science and Computer Engineering programs, but it is also suitable for self-study. Using this book will help the reader improve programming skills and gain a sound foundation and motivation for subsequent courses in advanced algorithms and data structures, software design, formal methods, compilers, programming languages, and theory. The presentation is based on numerous examples and case studies appropriate to the level of programming expertise of the intended readership. The main topics covered are techniques for using programmer-friendly assertional notations to specify, develop, and verify small but non-trivial algorithms and data representations, and the use of state diagrams, grammars, and regular expressions to specify and develop recognizers for formal languages.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

R. D. Tennent is Professor of Computing and Information Science at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada, where he has been teaching since 1971. He has also held visiting positions at the University of Grenoble, Oxford University, and the University of Edinburgh. He has published three other books - Principles of Programming Languages (1981), Semantics of Programming Languages (1991), and Algol-like Languages (1997, co-edited with Peter O'Hearn) as well as more than 25 articles in scientific journals. His research interests encompass the design, description, and effective implementation and use of programming languages including: denotational semantics; applications of formal semantics to language design; formal systems for specifying, developing, and verifying programs; advanced type systems and their description; integration of functional and procedural programming; and programming methodology.
