Abstract

<P><SPAN class=style11><FONT face=Arial>The algebraic approach to system specification encompasses many aspects of the formal design of software systems&#046; Originally born as formal method for reasoning about abstract data types, it now covers new specification frameworks and programming paradigms (such as object&#8211;oriented, aspect&#8211;oriented, agent&#8211;oriented, logic and higher&#8211;order functional programming) as well as a wide range of application areas (including information systems, concurrent, distributed and mobile systems)&#046; </FONT></SPAN></P> <P><B>Keywords:</B> </P><SPAN class=style17> <LI>foundations of algebraic specification <LI>other approaches to formal specification, including process calculi and models of concurrent, distributed and mobile computing <LI>specification languages, methods, and environments <LI>semantics of conceptual modelling methods and techniques <LI>model&#8211;driven development <LI>graph transformations, term rewriting and proof systems <LI>integration of formal specification techniques <LI>formal testing and quality assurance <LI>validation and verification </LI></SPAN>
