Software Abstractions : Logic, Language, and Analysis Paperback / softback
by Daniel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Jackson
Part of the The MIT Press series
Paperback / softback
Description
An approach to software design that introduces a fully automated analysis giving designers immediate feedback, now featuring the latest version of the Alloy language.
In Software Abstractions Daniel Jackson introduces an approach to software design that draws on traditional formal methods but exploits automated tools to find flaws as early as possible.
This approach-which Jackson calls "lightweight formal methods" or "agile modeling"-takes from formal specification the idea of a precise and expressive notation based on a tiny core of simple and robust concepts but replaces conventional analysis based on theorem proving with a fully automated analysis that gives designers immediate feedback.
Jackson has developed Alloy, a language that captures the essence of software abstractions simply and succinctly, using a minimal toolkit of mathematical notions.
This revised edition updates the text, examples, and appendixes to be fully compatible with Alloy 4.
