Logic and Algebra of Specification

This NATO volume presents a selection of leading research aimed at giving a foundation for combining logic and algebra for the purpose of specification under the aspects of automated deduction, proving techniques, concurrency and logic, abstract data types and operational semantics, and constructive methods.
