Relational Methods in Computer Science

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint postproceedings of the 8th International Seminar on Relational Methods in Computer Science, the 3rd International Workshop on Applications of Kleene Algebra, and the Workshop of COST Action 274: TARSKI, Theory and Application of Relational Structures as Knowledge Instruments, held St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada in February 2005. The 17 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers address foundational and methodological aspects of the calculi of relations and Kleene algebra as well as applications of such methods in various areas of computer science and information processing and include such topics as static analysis of programs, representation theory, theories of programming, evolutionary algorithms, verification and quantifier elimination.MacCaull, Wendy is the author of 'Relational Methods in Computer Science ', published 2006 under ISBN 9783540333395 and ISBN 3540333398.
