Recensioner i media

From the reviews of the second edition: "It covers a lot of material, and various subsets of the book may be used - as proposed by the authors - for different course offerings, from undergraduate to advanced graduate levels, as well as a reference for practitioners ... . Bibliographical notes (usually very good) and exercises are included at the end of each chapter. ... Summing up, this is a good and useful book on a very important topic ... ." (Haim Kilov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1243, 2012) "This software engineering book introduces software specifications. It presents basic mathematics typically used in formal methods and describes various existing formal specification languages and methods. It also demonstrates how to write specifications using examples taken from real-life software systems. ... Each chapter has exercises, bibliographic notes, and a list of references. ... Courses that cover software specifications can use either specific chapters or the complete text. The book can also serve as a reference on software specifications." (Maulik A. Dave, ACM Computing Reviews, February, 2012)
