" AMAST'95 GOALS AND SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE "
" "
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""


A major goal of the AMAST Conference consists in putting software development
technology on firm, mathematical foundations. Particular emphasis is given to
algebraic and logical foundations of software technology. An eventual goal is
to establish algebraic and logical methodology as a practically viable and
attractive alternative to the prevailing ad-hoc approaches to software
engineering. The benefits accruing from such formal foundations will be clearly
wide reaching and both academia and industry are expected to benefit from this.


The previous three editions of AMAST were held at the University of Iowa (1989
and 1991) and at the University of Twente, The Netherlands in 1993. During the
previous three meetings, AMAST has attracted researchers and practitioners
interested in algebra, logic, formal methods, specification and verification
of concurrent and reactive systems, constraint programming, semantics, category
theory, logic programming, process algebra, etc.


Since 1993, an organizational novelty of AMAST has been to promote simultaneous
co-operative effort between Europe and America in this venture, bringing the
conference to a truly international level. In addition, the first day of the
conference is dedicated to Mathematics Education for Software Engineers.
Following this successful trend, the fourth AMAST International Conference is
to be held at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, during July 3-7, 1995.
Montreal is renowned for its cultural richness, numerous museums, and its
unique multicultural setting, to name a few. Montreal offers a variety of
attractions for tourists throughout the year. The highlights in July include
the world-famous International Jazz Festival.

                                                Using Equational Logic as a Tool


                                                                David Gries
                                                    Cornell University, USA


Software tools and methods that approach being formal are not readily used by
programmers, software engineers, and even most computer scientists. We conjecture
that the reason for this is that the foundation of many formalisms - propositional and
predicate logic - has been viewed not as a useful tool but as an object of study.
Of course, there are avid users of mechanical verifiers and proof theorems, but
they are in the minority.


Logic is typically viewed as an object of study because that is the way it is
taught. Few discrete math texts, for example, embrace logic as "the glue that
binds together methods of reasoning, in all domains" and actually use it in
discussing all other topics.


We believe that logic CAN be taught as a useful mental tool, and in a way that
imparts appreciation for logic and rigorous proof. We believe that this is more
easily done with an equational logic - a logic based on substitution of equals
for equals and the kinds of calculations that people in many scientific
disciplines already perform - rather than on the more conventional natural
deduction.


This presentation will outline equational logic, explain its pedagogical
advantages, and discuss its application in software methodology.




                                Teaching Mathematics to Software Engineers


                                                          Jeannette M. Wing
                                            Carnegie Mellon University, USA


Based on my experience in teaching formal methods to practicing and aspiring
software engineers, I present some of the common stumbling blocks faced when
writing formal specifications. The most conspicuous prevalent problem is learning
to abstract. I address all these problems indirectly by giving a list of hints to
specifiers. Thus this paper should be of interest not only to teachers of formal
methods but also to their students.




                                    The Role of Education and Training in
                                  Industrial Application of Formal Methods


                                                Ted Ralston and Dan Craigen
    Ralston Research Associates and ORA Canada Corporation, USA and Canada


During two one-year studies (one at MCC and the other funded by government), data
was collected on education and training background and requirements pertaining to
a number of cases of transfer of formal methods to industry. This paper reports
our observations and conclusions from these cases with reference to education and
training issues.


One of the purposes of the survey was to provide a more systematic record of
industrial experiences on a number of alleged deficiencies with the application of
formal methods. One of the alleged deficiencies we examined is that formal methods
require prodigious mathematical education and talent for their successful use. Our
interviews explored such issues as in-house company education, external education,
differences in curricula between North America and Europe, profiles of personnel
working on formal methods projects, and the role of tools as educational media.

                                                      Information Algebras


                                                              Ewa Orlowska
                                          Polish Academy of Science, Poland


Two paradigms of incompleteness of information are discussed manifested by
indiscernibility and orthogonality. Classes of algebraic systems are presented
that are models of the underlying information structures. The problem of
informational representability of algebras from the given classes is formulated
and discussed. An analogy is pointed out with information semantics of logical
systems.




                    Verification of Logic Programs with Delay Declarations


                                                                  K.R. Apt
                          CWI and University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands


We study correctness of logic programs augmented with delay declarations. These
programs exhibit a highly involved control mechanism. In particular, we propose
proof methods allowing us to deal with occur check freedom, absence of errors in
presence of arithmetic operations, and absence of deadlock (sometimes called
floundering). These methods turn out to be simple modifications of the
corresponding methods dealing with Prolog programs. We also point out
difficulties concerning proofs of termination. (joint work with I. Luitjes)


                        An Introduction to Category-Based Equational Logic


                                    Joseph A. Goguen and Razvan Diaconescu
                                                      Oxford University, UK


This paper surveys category-based equational logic, which generalizes both the
theoretical and computational aspects of equational logic and its model theory
(general algebra) far beyond terms, so as to include: Horn clause logic, with and
without equality; all variants of order and many sorted equational logic, including
working modulo a set of axioms; constraint logic programming over arbitrary
user-defined data types; and any combination of the above. This unifies several
important computational paradigms, and opens the door to still further
generalizations. Results include completeness of deduction, a Herbrand theorem,
completeness of paramodulation, generic modularization techniques, and a model
theoretic semantics for extensible constraint logic programming.




                                                Knowledge-Based Programming


                                                              Rohit Parikh
                    Brooklyn College of CUNY and CUNY Graduate Center, USA


One of the reasons for studying the notion of knowledge is that it is expected
to be of use in distributed systems. Of particular interest are programs
which explicitly include tests for knowledge. These tests can be non-trivial
since knowledge is defined relative to the set of all the worlds (runs) which
are possible relative to a processor. This set is determined both by the
local state of the processor and the global protocol (set of all possible runs).
Hence the knowledge part of a knowledge based program can itself involve some
computation. Nonetheless, such programs can express succinctly the intuition
behind ordinary programs and give insight.


Such programs, under the title of knowledge based protocols, were introduced
by Halpern and Fagin and have been studied by various researchers since then,
including Dwork, Moses, Tuttle and others. We give a brief survey of the
existing literature and make a few suggestions of our own.

Montreal


A world fashion capital and creative centre for many of Canada's leading
designers. Montreal is a shopper's dream. The underground city
stretches over 18 miles of shop-lined pedestrian walkways linking major
office towers, hotels and apartment blocks, department stores,
restaurants and cafe's, subway stations and even rail and bus terminals.
In fact, it's possible to live in the city below without ever having to face
winter blizzards or summer heat waves.


However, dedicated diners might want to emerge to sample one of the
thousands of restaurants that have made Montreal a culinary capital on
a par with European cities. Whether you're gourmet or gourmand, you
have a choice of cuisine from 75 countries in a variety of settings, from
grand hotel dining room to cosy cafe'.


The International Jazz Festival (held in July) draws top artists and
hundreds of thousands of their fans around Place des Arts. It is followed
by the Just for Laughs comedy fest.
