And how can we improve a correct program preserving correctness? This latter question is known as the refinement of programs and the purpose of this book is to consider these questions in a formal setting. In fact, correctness turns out to be a special case of refinement and so the focus is on refinement. Although a reasonable background knowledge is assumed from mathematics and CS, the book is a self-contained introduction suitable for graduate students and researchers coming to this subject for the first time. There are numerous exercises provided of varying degrees of challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-04-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780387984179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4612-1674-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 520\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44359157809292,"sku":"9780387984179","price":107.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780387984179.jpg?v=1776435733","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780387984179","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
