Formal specification languages

programming language

family of modelling languages for distributed systems

the field concerned with the rigorous mathematical study of the meaning of programming languages

approach of formalizing the meanings of programming languages by constructing mathematical objects (called denotations) that describe the meanings of expressions from the languages

formal specification language used for describing and modelling computing systems

category of formal programming language semantics

approach based on mathematical logic for proving the correctness of computer programs; closely related to Hoare logic; define the meaning of a command in a program by describing its effect on assertions about the program state

declarative language

ITU-specified system description language

mathematically based techniques whose purpose are to help with the implementation of systems and software

specification language for Java programs

formal software development method

TLA+ is a formal specification language developed by Leslie Lamport. It is used for designing, modelling, documentation, and verification of programs, especially concurrent systems and distributed systems. TLA+ is considered to be exhaustively-testable pseudocode,

standardized temporal logic extending linear temporal logic for practical use

The B-Method is a method of software development based on B, a tool-supported formal method based on an abstract machine notation, used in the development of computer software.

DEVS, abbreviating discrete event system specification, is a modular and hierarchical formalism for modeling and analyzing general systems that can be discrete event systems which might be described by state transition tables, and continuous state systems which might be described by differential equations, and hybrid continuous state and discrete event systems. DEVS is a timed event system.
