Software programs are formal entities with precise meanings independent of their programmers, so the transition from ideas to programs necessarily involves a formalisation at some point. The first part of this graduate-level introduction to formal methods develops an understanding of what constitutes formal methods and what their place is in Software Engineering. It also introduces logics as languages to describe reasoning and the process algebra CSP as a language to represent behaviours. The second part offers specification and testing methods for formal development of software, based on the modelling languages CASL and UML. The third part takes the reader into the application domains of normative documents, human machine interfaces, and security. Use of notations and formalisms is uniform throughout the book. Topics and features: Explains foundations, and introduces specification, verification, and testing methods Explores various application domains Presents realistic and practical examples, illustrating concepts Brings together contributions from highly experienced educators and researchers Offers modelling and analysis methods for formal development of software Suitable for graduate and undergraduate courses in software engineering, this uniquely practical textbook will also be of value to students in informatics, as well as to scientists and practical engineers, who want to learn about or work more effectively with formal theories and methods.

Information Technology and Open Source: Applications for Education, Innovation, and Sustainability

Peter Csaba Ölveczky

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 18th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing, ICTAC 2021, organized by the Nazarbayev University, Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. The event was supposed to take place in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, but due to COVID-19 pandemic is was held virtually. The 15 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The book also contains one invited talk in full paper length. The book deals with challenges in both theoretical aspects of computing and the exploitation of theory through methods and tools for system development. The 20 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. The papers cover a wide variety of topics, including: getting the best price for selling your personal data; attacking Bitcoin; optimizing various forms of model checking; synthesizing and learning algorithms; formalizing and verifying contracts, languages, and compilers; analyzing the correctness and complexity of programs and distributed systems; and finding connections from proofs in propositional logic to quantum programming languages.
