This volume is being published for two reasons. The first is to
present a collection of previously published articles on the
subject of programming methodology that have helped define the
field and give it direction. It is hoped that the scientist in the
field will find the volume useful as a reference, while the
scientist in neighboring fields will find it useful in seriously
acquainting himself with important ideas in programming
methodology. The advanced student can also study it-either in a
course or by himself -in order to learn significant material that
may not appear in texts for some time. The second reason for this
volume is to make public the nature and work on programming
methodology of IFIP Working Group 2.3, hereafter called WG2.3.
(IFIP stands for International Federation for Information
Processing.) WG2.3 is one of many IFIP Working Groups that have
been established to provide international forums for discussion of
ideas in various areas. Generally, these groups publish proceedings
of some of their meetings and occasionally they sponsor a larger
conference that persons outside a group can attend. WG2.3 has been
something of a maverick in this respect. From the beginning the
group has shunned paperwork, reports, meetings, and the like. This
has meant less pUblicity for IFIP and WG2.3, but on the other hand
it has meant that meetings could be devoted almost wholly to
scientific discussions.
