Synopsis

 

About the Author

Prof. Cliff B. Jones is Professor of Computing Science at Newcastle University. He is best known for his research into "formal methods" for the design and verification of computer systems; under this heading, current topics of research include concurrency, support systems and logics. He is also currently applying research on formal methods to wider issues of dependability. As well as his academic career, Cliff spent over twenty years in industry; his 15 years in IBM saw among other things the creation in the Vienna Lab of VDM, one of the better-known "formal methods". He received his Ph.D. in Oxford under the supervision of Tony Hoare. He then moved directly to a chair at Manchester University where he built a world-class Formal Methods group. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng) and a Fellow of the ACM. He has been a member of IFIP Working Group 2.3 (Programming Methodology) since 1973, and was its chair from 1987 to 1996).
