Description: "As well as providing a detailed introduction to the language and the OBJ system that implements it, Software Engineering with OBJ: Algebraic Specification in Action provides case studies by leading practitioners in the field, in areas such as computer graphics standards, hardware design, and parallel computation. The case studies demonstrate the OBJ can be used in a wide variety of ways to achieve a wide variety of practical aims in the system development process.

The papers on various OBJ systems also demonstrate that the language is relatively easy to understand, implement and use, and that it supports formal reasoning in a straightforward but powerful way." "Software Engineering with OBJ: Algebraic Specification in Action will be of interest to students and teachers in the areas of data types, programming languages, semantics, theorem proving, and algebra, as well as to researchers and practitioners in software engineering."--BOOK JACKET.
