This volume comprises the papers selected for presentation
at the international conference on Formal Methods in
Programming and Their Applications, held in Academgorodok,
Novosibirsk, Russia, June-July 1993. The conference was
organized by the Institute of Informatics Systems of the
Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences and was
the first forum organized by the Institute which was
entirely dedicated to formal methods.
The main scientific tracks of the conference were centered
around formal methods of program development and program
construction. The papers in the book are grouped into
the following parts:
- formal semantics methods
- algebraic specification methods
- semantic program analysis and abstract interpretation
- semantics of parallelism
- logic of programs
- software specification and verification
- transformational development and program synthesis.
