This book uses a variety of applications to illustrate a modeling
method that helps practitioners to manage complex
software-intensive systems. The proposed method relies on the
combination of its abstraction concept and its operational
character, with behavioral models in the precise and simple form of
Abstract State Machines (ASMs). The book introduces both the
modeling method (Part I) and the available tool support (Part II):
In Part I the authors detail (using numerous examples) how to
construct, explain, debug, explore, extend and reuse accurate
system design models, starting from scratch. Only an elementary
knowledge of common mathematical (including set-theoretic) notation
and some basic experience with computational processes (systems,
programs, algorithms) is assumed. Part II then shows how the
modeling method can be supported by implementing tools that make
design models executable and debuggable. To illustrate how to
build, debug and maintain systems and to explain their construction
in a checkable manner, a general, problem-oriented refinement
method is adopted to construct system models from components. The
method starts with abstract models and refines them step by step,
incrementally adding further details that eventually lead to code.
Intended for practitioners who build software intensive systems,
and students specializing in software engineering, it can be used
both for self-study and for teaching, and it can serve as a
reference book. Exercises are included to help readers check their
understanding of the explained concepts. For many models defined in
the book, refinements to executable versions can be downloaded for
experimental validation from the book's website at
