Formal methods traditionally address the question of transforming
software engineering into a mature engineering discipline. This
essentially refers to trusting that the software-intensive systems
that form our society's infrastructures are behaving according to
their specifications. More recently, formal methods are also used
to understand properties and evolution laws of existing complex and
adaptive systems-man-made such as smart electrical grids or natural
ones such as biological networks. A tribute to Professor Kaisa
Sere's contributions to the field of computer science, From Action
Systems to Distributed Systems: The Refinement Approach is the
first book to address the impact of refinement through a multitude
of formal methods ranging from Action Systems to numerous related
approaches in computer science research. It presents a
state-of-the-art review on the themes of distributed systems and
refinement. A fundamental part of Kaisa Sere's research consisted
of developing Action Systems, a formalism for modeling, analysing,
and constructing distributed systems. Within the design of
distributed systems, Kaisa Sere's main research focus was on
refinement-based approaches to the construction of systems ranging
from pure software to hardware and digital circuits. Presenting
scientific contributions from renowned researchers around the
world, this edited book consists of five sections: Modeling,
Analysis, Proof, Refinement, and Applications. Each chapter has
been thoroughly reviewed by experts in the field. The book covers
both traditional aspects in formal methods research, as well as
current and innovative research directions. It describes the
transition from the strong theory of refinement to a methodology
that can be applied in practice, with tool support. Examining
industrial applications of the methods discussed, this book is a
suitable resource for graduate students, researchers, and
practitioners interested in using formal methods to develop
distributed systems of quality.
