Foundations of Software Science and Computational Structures

Klappentext

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures, FOSSACS 2007, held in Braga, Portugal in March/April 2007. The 25 revised full papers presented together with the abstract of one invited talk cover a broad spectrum on theories and methods to support analysis, synthesis, transformation and verification of programs and software systems.
