Computer Systems Colloquium
"Some prejudices about the development of concurrent software"
3.30 pm, Thursday 2 March
Room 2511, James Clerk Maxwell Building
Abstract
To develop any non-trivial system one needs to be able to discuss its parts
separately. To a formalist, this means that separate specifications are
required. But the first prejudice outlined in this talk is that the need
for "compositional" ways of understanding systems exists even with informal
development. The talk will make explicit a number of other prejudices such
as the problem of granularity which motivate my work on compositional
development but which transcend the formal/informal division.
