It also introduces logics as languages to describe reasoning and the process algebra CSP as a language to represent behaviours. The second part offers specification and testing methods for formal development of software, based on the modelling languages CASL and UML. The third part takes the reader into the application domains of normative documents, human machine interfaces, and security.  Use of notations and formalisms is uniform throughout the book.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTopics and features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains foundations, and      introduces specification, verification, and testing methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores various application      domains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents realistic and practical      examples, illustrating concepts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e  Brings together contributions      from highly experienced educators and researchers  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers modelling and analysis      methods for formal development of software\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eSuitable for graduate and undergraduate courses in software engineering, this uniquely practical textbook will also be of value to students in informatics, as well as to scientists and practical engineers,  who want to learn about or work more effectively with formal theories and methods.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarkus Roggenbach\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor in the Dept. of Computer Science of Swansea University. \u003cb\u003eAntonio Cerone\u003c\/b\u003e is an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Computer Science of Nazarbayev University, Nur-Sultan. \u003cb\u003eBernd-Holger Schlingloff\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor in the Institut für Informatik of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. \u003cb\u003eGerardo Schneider\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor in the Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering of University of Gothenburg. \u003cb\u003eSiraj Ahmed Shaikh\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor in the Institute for Future Transport and Cities of Coventry University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe companion site for the book offers additional resources, including further material for selected chapters, prepared lab classes, a list of errata, slides and teaching material, and virtual machines with preinstalled tools and resources for hands-on experience with examples from the book.
