Overview
Algebraic specification [1][2][3] is a specific approach to the formal specification, prototyping, and general development of computer programs.
Algebraic modeling of systems is the basic methodology of ai-integration.biz with antecedents in Langefors (TAIS) and the Burroughs Large Systems. This page gives an overview of this and the generic topic.
Elements
As an area of applied mathematics and computer science, Algebraic Specification (AS) addresses these concerns[1]:
- design of algebraic specification formalisms;
- application of algebraic specification techniques to the definition programming languages;
- generation of testable or executable prototypes from specifications.
Although there is also a branch of this topic which is more concentrated on theoretical computer than applications, the latter are the focus of this article.
Implementation and Issues
Algebraic specification Formalisms
Pure Functional Programming and Specifications
Development Practices
The broad spectrum of observed practices in which computer systems are actually developed is a superset of those covered in the so-called Software Engineering.
Capability Maturity
Software Design in a Social Context
Researchers
