Practice of Formal Methods

"This is his first ever Festschrift collection of papers, hence the double volume, with contributions by 90 scientists spread across 20 countries in 30 papers. ... The academic papers are preceded by several shorter and more personal testimonials. All the contributions provide evidence of Cliff Jones’s wide influence on computer science, especially its more formal aspects. ... the two volumes provide a wonderful additional resource for formal method researchers." (Jonathan P. Bowen, Facs Facts - The Newsletter of the Formal Aspects of Computing Science Specialist Group, Issue 1, January-February, 2025)
