Recent Trends in Algebraic Development Techniques

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 15th International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques, WADT 2001, held jointly with the General Workshop of the ESPRIT Working Group CoFI in Genova, Italy, in April 2001.The book presents 16 papers selected from 32 workshop presentations. Among the topics addressed are formal specification, specification languages, term rewriting, and proof systems.
