News
- PLanCompS (Programming Language Components and Specifications) is a 4-year joint research project based at Swansea, RHUL and City, funded by EPSRC, with project partner Microsoft Research Cambridge, 2011–2015.
- I have joined the Editorial Board of the journal Science of Computer Programming.
- A paper on An Agile Approach to Language Modelling and Development, written with Adrian Johnstone and Elizabeth Scott (RHUL), presents our component-based approach, and discusses the relationship between its inherent agility and the practices and principles of Agile Modelling in software development.
- My festschrift Semantics and Algebraic Specification, edited by Jens Palsberg, with contributions by many international colleagues and former students, is published by Springer as LNCS 5700:
