The Summer School in Marktoberdorf 1990 had as its overall theme
the development of programs as an activity that can be carried out
based on and supported by a mathematical method. In particular
mathematical methods for the development of programs as parts of
distributed systems were included. Mathematical programming methods
are a very important topic for which a lot of research in recent
years has been carried out. In the Marktoberdorf Summer School
outstanding scientists lectured on mathematical programming
methods. The lectures centred around logical and functional calculi
for the * specification, * refinement, * verification of programs
and program systems. Some extremely remarkable examples were given.
Looking at these examples it becomes clear that proper research and
teaching in the area of program methodology should always show its
value by being applied at least to small examples or case studies.
It is one of the problems of computing science that examples and
case studies have to be short and small to be lJresentable in
lectures and papers of moderate size. However, even small examples
can tell a lot about the tractability and adequacy of methods and
being able to treat small examples does at least prove that the
method can be applied in modest ways. Furthermore it demonstrates
to some extent the notational and calculational overhead of
applying formal methods.
