In any serious engineering discipline, it would be unthinkable
to construct a large system without having a precise notion of what
is to be built and without verifying how the system is expected to
function. Software engineering is no different in this respect.
Formal methods involve the use of mathematical notation and
calculus in software development; such methods are difficult to
apply to large-scale systems with practical constraints (e.g.,
limited developer skills, time and budget restrictions, changing
requirements). Here Liu claims that formal engineering methods may
bridge this gap. He advocates the incorporation of mathematical
notation into the software engineering process, thus substantially
improving the rigor, comprehensibility and effectiveness of the
methods commonly used in industry.
This book provides an introduction to the SOFL (Structured
Object-Oriented Formal Language) method that was designed and
industry-tested by the author. Written in a style suitable for
lecture courses or for use by professionals, there are numerous
exercises and a significant real-world case study, so the readers
are provided with all the knowledge and examples needed to
successfully apply the method in their own projects.
