Understanding Z: A Specification Language and its Formal Semantics (Cambridge Tracts in Theoretical Computer Science, Series Number 3) - Softcover
Synopsis
By providing a formal semantics for Z, this book justifies the claim that Z is a precise specification language, and provides a standard framework for understanding Z specifications. It makes a detailed theoretical comparison between schemas, the Z construct for breaking specifications into modules, and the analogous facilities in other languages such as CLEAR and ASL. The final chapter contains a number of studies in Z style, showing that Z can be used for a wide variety of specification tasks.

Book Description
The Z notation is a language for expressing mathematical specifications of computing systems. By providing a formal semantics for Z, this book justifies the claim that Z is a precise specification language, and provides a standard framework for understanding Z specifications.
Review
"The book is very well written and accurate, and the graphics are good." Computing Reviews
"The reader finds a well written book on a special rather technical topic...As such it is valuable for those who seek to understand the language Z in more detail..." Zentralblatt fur Mathematik
