Formal specification is a method for precisely modelling computer-based systems that combines concepts from software engineering and mathematical logic. In this book the authors describe algebraic and state-based specification techniques from the unified view of the Common Object-oriented Language for Design, COLD, a wide-spectrum language in the tradition of VDM and Z. The kernel language is explained in detail, with many examples, including: set representation, a display device, an INGRES-like database system, and a line editor. Fundamental techniques such as initial algebra semantics, loose semantics, partial functions, hiding, sharing, predicate and dynamic logic, abstraction functions, representation of invariants and black-box correctness are also presented. More advanced ideas, for example Horn logic, and large systems are given in the final part. Appendices contain full details of the language's syntax and a specification library.

As thousands of developers focus on constructing reliable, well-performing, and secure APIs, there's immense demand for a practical, up-to-date, technology-and-platform-independent guide to API design. API Design Patterns fills this gap. A team of expert authors cut through the complexity of API communication and message content, presenting rich and complete design guidelines and heuristics for engineering APIs sustainably and specifying them clearly. API Design Patterns covers the entire API lifecycle, from launching projects and establishing business goals through defining architecturally significant requirements, elaborating and implementing designs, and documentation. It illuminates patterns drawn from both public web APIs and proprietary application development and software integration projects the authors have led or participated in. You'll find a complete library of concrete, actionable design patterns, each formatted consistently to explain context, forces, problem, solution, d
