Seminar Formal specification languages and their semantics

The first meeting will be on Wednesday, 19.10.2011 at 12:00 in O27-412.

Topic of the seminar

Formal specification languages facilitate the precise statement of requirements for systems, reasoning for their plausibility and adequacy, and the proof of safety and liveness properties.

In this seminar we discuss various current formal specification languages (for example, ASM, CafeOBJ, RAISE, TLA+, VDM and Z), their semantics and ways to perform proofs.
