Description
Much current research in computer science is concerned with two questions: is a program correct? And how can we improve a correct program preserving correctness?
This latter question is known as the refinement of programs and the purpose of this book is to consider these questions in a formal setting.
In fact, correctness turns out to be a special case of refinement and so the focus is on refinement.
Although a reasonable background knowledge is assumed from mathematics and CS, the book is a self-contained introduction suitable for graduate students and researchers coming to this subject for the first time.
There are numerous exercises provided of varying degrees of challenge.
