Overview

The workshop on ""Formal Methods in Databases and Software Engineering"" took place at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, in May 1992. Most existing research tends to concentrate exclusively on formal methods in either databases or software engineering. This was the first in a proposed series of workshops specifically aimed at fostering interdisciplinary research between these two important fields. The workshop provided an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to discuss recent developments in an informal setting. This volume contains selected papers which have been expanded and edited for publication. The theme of the workshop was explored through a variety of topics, including: transaction logic programming; modelling uncertainty and incompleteness in databases; concept learning and data mining; efficient deduction and induction in knowledge-base systems; proof management and verification; temporal and real-time databases; object-oriented VDM; software engineering environments and object charts.
