The Calculus of Computation: Decision Procedures with Applications to Verification 2007th Edition by Aaron R. Bradley (PDF)

Description

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. Verification exercises are given to 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. The final chapter outlines courses of further study.

Editorial Reviews: Review “…this book, which addresses the verification of sequential programs, exhibits all the features of a field that has finally fully matured. The material is substantial; it is organized very thoughtfully; the writing is concise but simple, easy to follow, and illustrated with ample examples… Overall, this book is very well written, thoughtfully constructed, and substantive yet accessible. It is bound to become a standard textbook in program verification.” (Fatma Mill, ACM Computing Reviews, August 2008) From the Back Cover Computational logic is a fast-growing field with applications in artificial intelligence, constraint solving, and the design and verification of software and hardware systems. 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.This textbook also presents a logical approach to engineering correct software. 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.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐For someone totally new to logics and verification I can say this is exactly what I needed to teach myself the subject. I just wish the binding was not so poor. See picture.

⭐The Calculus of Computation is a cogent, readable, appropriately formal, graduate-level introduction to formal methods applied to program verification. One could view it as an updated expansion of the corresponding chapters in Manna’s classic work Mathematical Theory of Computation.

⭐Tis is too much money andt tooo boringFav reviewersderftu2@3Super long and boringPGUBPUBG is beter and I agree with derftu2@3.
