Program Verification - Fundamental Issues in Computer Science Rankin R. L.Paperback
Among the most important problems confronting computer science is that of developing a paradigm appropriate to the discipline. Hoare, and Edgar Dijkstra - have advanced the position that computing is a mathematical activity and that computer science should model itself after mathematics. Proponents of formal methods - such as John McCarthy, C.A.R.
A paper that appeared in Communications of the ACM Opponents of formal methods - by contrast, suggest that programming is the activity which is fundamental to computer science and that there are important differences that distinguish it from mathematics, which therefore cannot provide a suitable paradigm.Disagreement over the place of formal methods in computer science has recently arisen in the form of renewed interest in the nature and capacity of program verification as a method for establishing the reliability of software systems.
