The essentials of comprehensible specifications of business and of
system artefacts ought to be used by, and therefore understandable
to, all customers of these specifications - business subject matter
experts, decision makers, analysts, IT architects and developers.
These documents have to be understood in the same manner by all
stakeholders. And, as C.A.R. Hoare observed, only abstraction
"enables a chief programmer or manager to exert real technical
control over his teams, without delving into the morass of
technical detail with which his programmers are often tempted to
overwhelm him."
The book brings together theoreticians and practitioners to
report their experience with making semantics precise, clear,
concise and explicit in business specifications, business designs,
and system specifications. It includes both theoretical and very
pragmatic papers based on solid and clearly specified foundations.
These seemingly different papers address different aspects of a
single problem - they are all about understanding of business
enterprises and of information systems (computer-based or not) that
these enterprises rely upon. A substantial number of papers
demonstrate that good business (and IT) specifications ought to
start with the stable basics of the relevant business domains, thus
providing a foundation for describing and evaluating the details of
apparently "always changing" requirements.
