Review

"...if you would enjoy refreshing your knowledge of category theory and related branches of mathematics, this text will show how the power of mathematics can be used in practical ways." D.W. Ballew, Computing Reviews

"...presents intial algebras as a unifying framework for structured analysis and design. The material is valuable and ought to be of interest either to software engineers searching for a foundation for their work or to theoreticians looking for interesting applications of category theory." Tom Jacob and Bill Kaizer, ACM SIG-ACT NEWS

Book Description

Many different structured methodologies exist, each employing a number of models and so a specification must be converted from one form to another during the development process. To solve this, Dr Tse proposes in this 1991 book a unifying framework behind popular structured models. He develops the frameworks and illustrates their practical usefulness.
