Algebraic specification [1][2][3] is a specific approach to the formal specification, prototyping, and general development of computer programs.

Overview

As an area of applied mathematics and computer science, algebraic specification addresses these concerns[1]:

    1. design of algebraic specification formalisms;
    2. application of algebraic specification techniques to the definition programming languages;
    3. 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.
