Synopsis:

This festschrift volume is dedicated to Boris (Boaz) Trakhtenbrot on the occasion of his 85th birthday. For over half a century, Trakhtenbrot has been making seminal contributions to virtually all of the central areas of theoretical computer science. He is universally admired as a founding father and long-standing pillar of the discipline of computer science. On Friday, 28 April 2006, the School of Computer Science at Tel Aviv University held a 'Computation Day Celebrating Boaz (Boris) Trakhtenbrot's Eighty-Fifth Birthday' As a follow-up to that event, his students and colleagues were asked to contribute to a volume in his honor and in recognition of his grand contributions to the field. The book opens with two historical overviews and a bibliography. These are followed by 33 thoroughly reviewed technical contributions. The broad range of topics covered include mathematical logic, logics for computer science, mathematics for computer science, automata and formal languages, asynchronous computation, semantics of programming languages, verification, and software engineering. This tapestry of subjects stands as testimony to the vast scope of Trakhtenbrot's achievements and the profound influence he has had on the field.

Review:

From the reviews:

"This festschrift is dedicated to Boris Trakhtenbrot on the occasion of his 85th birthday. ... The volume covers a wide variety of papers on logic and the foundations of theoretical computer science, written by top people in the field. It is certainly worth acquiring for a library." (K. Lodaya, ACM Computing Reviews, January, 2009)
