Inhaltsangabe

Computers are gaining more and more control over systems that we use or rely on in our daily lives, privately as well as professionally. In safety-critical applications, as well as in others, it is of paramount importance that systems controled by a computer or computing systems themselves reliably behave in accordance with the specification and requirements, in other words: here correctness of the system, of its software and hardware is crucial. In order to cope with this callenge, software engineers and computer scientists need to understand the foundations of programming, how different formal theories are linked together, how compilers correctly translate high-level programs into machine code, and why transformations performed are justifiable. This book presents 17 mutually reviewed invited papers organized in sections on methodology, programming, automation, compilation, and application.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Bernhard Steffen studied mathematics at Christian-Albrechts Universität zu Kiel, where he gained his PhD in Computer Science. After postdoctoral positions in the Laboratory for the Foundations of Computer Science at the University of Edinburgh and at Aarhus Universitet, he held staff positions at RWTH Aachen and Universität Passau. Since 1997 he has led the Chair for Programming Systems and Compiler Construction at Technische Universität Dortmund. He founded the international conference TACAS, Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems, and the international academic journal Software Tools for Technology Transfer (STTT). He has published over 300 internationally refereed papers and articles, his research interests include formal verification methods and tools for program analysis, compiler optimization, model generation, testing, and service-oriented software development. Oliver Rüthing studied computer science at Christian-Albrechts Universität zuKiel, where he worked from 1991 to 1997 as a research associate. After his PhD in 1997 he moved to Technische Universität Dortmund, he is a member of the scientific staff of the Chair for Programming Systems. His research interests include compilers and model checking. Michael Huth received his PhD in mathematics in 1991 from Tulane University. After postdoctoral and research positions in computer science and mathematics in the US, the UK, and Germany, he was an assistant professor in the Dept. of Computing and Information Sciences at Kansas State University from 1996 to 2001. He moved to the Dept. of Computing at Imperial College London in 2001 where he is now a professor. His research combines blue-sky and application-driven research in cybersecurity, mathematical modeling, and formal verification.

Computers are gaining more and more controle over systems that we use or rely on in our daily lives, privately as well as professionally. In safety-critical applications, as well as in others, it is of paramount importance that systems controled by a computer or computing systems themselves reliably behave in accordance with the specification and requirements, in other words: here correctness of the system, of its software and hardware is crucial. In order to cope with this callenge, software engineers and computer scientists need to understand the foundations of programming, how different formal theories are linked together, how compilers correctly translate high-level programs into machine code, and why transformations performed are justifiable. On the occasion of Hans Langmaack's retirement from his professorship and in order to honor his fundamental contributions to the field, the volume editors invited 17 internationally well known researchers to evaluate the state of the art in the area of correct system design. This book presents 17 mutually reviewed invited papers organized in sections on methodology, programming, automation, compilation, and application. It is a unique outline of what has been achieved in the area which dates back to a pioneering paper by Alan Turing in 1949.
