About this Item

Hardcover. Structured methodologies are a popular and powerful tool in information systems development. Many different ones exist, each employing a number of models, and so a specification must be converted from one form to another during the development process. To solve this problem, Dr Tse here proposes a unifying framework behind popular structured models. He approaches the problem from the viewpoints of algebra and category theory. He not only develops the frameworks but also illustrates their practical and theoretical usefulness. Thus this book will provide insight for software engineers into how methodologies can be formalised, and will open up a range of applications and problems for theoretical computer scientists. Many different structured methodologies exist, each employing a number of models and so a specification must be converted from one form to another during the development process. To solve this, Dr Tse proposes in this 1991 book a unifying framework behind popular structured models. He develops the frameworks and illustrates their practical usefulness.
