Domain Modeling and the Duration Calculus : International Training School, Shanghai, China, September 17-21, 2007, Advanced Lectures
The book presented provide competent coverage of software security, domain modeling of software engineering, and duration calculus for real time systems - originating from lectures of leading experts in these fields from Europe and Asia.It addressed in detail are: development of real-time systems, domain engineering using abstract modeling, the area of duration calculus, and formal methods like language description using the operational semantics approach.
Logics of Specification Languages
Dedicated chapters address : the use of ASM (Abstract State Machines) in the classroom; the Event-B modelling method; a methodological guide to CafeOBJ logic; CASL, the Common Algebraic Specification Language; the Duration Calculus; the logic of the RAISE specification language (RSL); the specification language TLA+; the typed logic of partial functions and the Vienna Development Method (VDM); and Z logic and its applications. Each chapter is self-contained, with references, and symbol and concept indexes. Finally, in a unique feature, the book closes with short commentaries on the specification languages written by researchers closely associated with their original development.
