Program Development in an Algebraic Setting
- Computer ScienceFormal Program Development
- 1993
A framework for program development is presented, which is based on concepts from algebra and logic, and programming is viewed as a process that successively extends the program under consideration by adding new axioms or theorems to it.

In this paper we focus on three different aspects which can be considered to be recent trends within theory and applications of algebraic specification.
General Correctness Algebra

The Egli-Milner order is treated algebraically and it is shown how to obtain least fixpoints, used to solve recursion equations, in terms of the natural order.
Development of Several Reachability Algorithms for Directed Graphs
- MathematicsWG
- 1987
In the development above only the control structure of the algorithms was subject to transformations. The final versions (6) and (7) which are due to the different generalizations in Section 3.1 are…
Approaches to executable specifications
- Computer ScienceRapid Prototyping
- 1982
There is a suggestion of oxymoronic incongruity in the term "executable specification." Much of the pioneering work in software specification would invoke the metaphor of the blueprint or similar…
Report on an Implementation of a Semi-inverter
