Books and Book Chapters

RAISE in Perspective
Klaus Havelund
Chapter in Logics of Specification Languages
Monographs in Theoretical Computer Science. An EATCS Series, 2007
Bjorner, Dines; Henson, Martin C. (Eds.)
624 p., Hardcover

The brief chapter (4 pages) comments on RSL, the RAISE Specification Language.


The RAISE Specification Language
The RAISE Language Group
Prentice Hall. The BCS Practitioner Series, 1992.
For sale at amazon.com

The book consists of two parts I: RSL Tutorial (pages 9-250), and II: RSL Reference Description (pages 251-369).
Havelund wrote part I, while Havelund together with Anne Haxthausen wrote part II. The language presented in the book was designed during the period 1985-1991 by many people. Those that lastet to the end were the RAISE Language Group: Chris George, Peter Haff, Klaus Havelund, Anne Haxthausen, Robert Milne, Claus Bendix Nielsen, Soeren Prehn and Kim Ritter Wagner. The RAISE project was started by Dines Bjoerner.
