New book: Theory and Formal Methods 1993




Announcing:

"Theory and Formal Methods 1993"

Eds. Geoffrey Burn, Simon Gay and Mark Ryan

A new title in Springer's "Workshops in Computing" Series.

Proceedings of the First Imperial College Department of Computing
Workshop on Theory and Formal Methods, Isle of Thorns Conference
Centre, Chelwood Gate, Sussex, UK, 29--31 Match 1993.

The Theory and Formal Methods Section of the Imperial College
Department of College has an international reputation for research
into the foundations of computer science, and the application of this
theory to real computing problems. In March 1993 it held the first in
a proposed series of workshops on theory and formal methods at the
Isle of Theory Conference Centre in Sussex, UK. This volume contains
revised versions of the papers presented at the workshop. They cover
four main areas --- semantics, concurrency, logic, and specification
-- with several papers spanning a variety of disciplines. The
contributions fall into two main categories: review papers which
provide the reader with an introduction to some specific areas being
studied by the Section, and research papers which give details of the
latest results in these areas.

THEORY AND FORMAL METHODS 1993 provides a comprehensive overview of
the work being carried out by one of the world's leading research
centres in theory and formal methods. It will be of interest to
practitioners and researchers, as well as post- and undergraduate
students.
