| Abstract: |
This chapter offers an historical perspective on the development of Formal Methods for software engineering. It surveys some of the problems and solution methods that have shaped and become our theoretical understanding and practical capability for making software. Starting in the 1950s, the history is organised by the topics of programming, data, reasoning, and concurrency, and concludes with a selection of notes on application areas relevant to the book. Although the account emphasizes some contributions and neglects others, it provides a starting point for studying the development of the challenging and ongoing enterprise that is software engineering. |
