Introduction to Formal Specification with Z and VDM by Deri Sheppard
Formal methods emphasize the correct and efficient development of software. This text puts formal specification in the context of traditional methods of software development, including object-orientation, introducing these concepts and the necessary discrete maths, before moving on to look at both Z and VDM in depth, using the case study of a drinks dispensing machine.Deri Sheppard was a Graduate of the Royal Institute of Chemistry (GradRIC), University of Salford, Manchester, UK (1970). He has a PhD (Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy), Department of Physical Chemistry, University College (Wales) Cardiff, UK (1974) and a Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Science (CNAA), Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Polytechnic of Wales, UK (1980). He has been a Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry (MRSC) and a Chartered Chemist (CChem) since 1979.
