The Calculus of Computation: Decision Procedures with Applications to Verification

AUTHOR Bradley, Aaron R.; Manna, Zohar
PUBLISHER Springer (09/03/2007)
PRODUCT TYPE Hardcover (Hardcover)

Description

Computational logic is a fast-growing field. Written with graduate and advanced undergraduate students in mind, this textbook introduces computational logic from the foundations of first-order logic to state-of-the-art decision procedures for arithmetic, data structures, and combination theories. The textbook also presents a logical approach to engineering correct software as an application of computational logic. The increasing ubiquity of computers makes implementing correct systems more important than ever. Verification exercises develop the reader's facility in specifying and verifying software using logic. The treatment of verification concludes with an introduction to the static analysis of software, an important component of modern verification systems. For readers interested in learning more about computational logic, decision procedures, verification, and other areas of formal methods, the final chapter outlines courses of further study.
