IFIP WG1.3 Foundations of System Specification

Aims

To support and promote the systematic development of the fundamental mathematical theory of systems specification. To investigate the theory of formal models for systems specification, development, transformation and verification.

Sponsored Activities

Cofi
A voluntary organisation founded in 1995 as an open collaborative effort to produce a Common Framework for Algebraic Specification and Development, including CASL, the Common Algebraic Specification Language.

Scope

The theoretical aspects of the specification and development of computing systems that are based on algebraic and logical concepts, and can be studied systematically within a theory of systems specification.
