His work, grounded in practical programming, has had a profound impact on the evolution of the field. This includes the development of Hoare logic and Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP). Reflections on the Work of C.A.R. Hoare presents a comprehensive edited survey of all aspects of these subjects, with original contributions by more than 30 international leaders in the field. The book, while honoring Hoare's important contributions, assembles a collection of chapters showing the state of the art in programming languages, sequential programs, concurrency, and unified theories of programming. 538 eBook access requires you to log in as a Federation University Australia library user 650 0 Computer science 700 1 Jones, Cliff B. 700 1 Wood, Kenneth R. 710 2 SpringerLink (Online service) 773 0 |tSpringer eBooks 856 40 |zAccess eBook online|uhttps://go.openathens.net/ redirector/federation.edu.au?url=https://doi.org/10.1007/ 978-1-84882-912-1 999 Owned ebook
