Reseña del editor:

The goal of the AMAST conferences is to foster algebraic methodology as a foundation for software technology, and to show that this can lead to practical mathematical alternatives to the ad-hoc approaches commonly used in software engineering and development. The first two AMAST conferences, held in May 1989 and May 1991 at the University of Iowa, were well received and encouraged the regular organization of further AMAST conferences on a biennial schedule. The third Conference on Algebraic Methodology and Software Technology was held in the campus of the University of Twente, The Netherlands, during the first week of Summer 1993. Nearly a hundred people from all continents attended the conference. The largest interest received by the AMAST conference among the professionals extended to include the administration organizations as well. AMAST'93 was opened by the Rector of the University of Twente, followed by the Local Chairman. Their opening addresses open this proceedings, too. The proceedings contains 8 invited papers and 32 selected communica­ tions. The selection was very strict, for 121 submissions were received.

Reseña del editor:

This volume contains papers presented at the Third International Conference on Algebraic Methodology and Sofware Technology (AMAST'93), held at the University of Twente, The Netherlands, 21-25 June 1993. The AMAST conferences aim to promote the use of algebraic methodology as a foundation for software technology, and to examine how universal algebra can provide practical mathematical alternatives to the ad hoc methods commonly used in software development. They are only conferences to focus specifically on this important area of research. The resulting volume covers a variety of software development issues, and testifies to the versatility of algebraic methods when used as conceptual tools in the software development process. The papers present original research in a range of areas, and include a distinguished collection of invited papers by leading researchers in the field. The volume also includes descriptions of six software systems which have been developed using algebraic methods, techniques and tools. Among the topics covered in this volume are: - Algebraic metamathematics; - Functional programming; - Category theory in software engineering; - Modular system design; - Real-time system specification; - Testing theory and applications; - Algebraic semantics of concurrency; - Modal logics and reactive systems; - Design and refinement priciples; - Equational and logic programming; - Algebraic specification in software engineering.
