Paperback. Modern software is being built faster than ever, yet reliability remains one of the biggest challenges in engineering. Systems fail because requirements are unclear, assumptions remain hidden, business rules become complicated, and AI-generated code introduces new uncertainties. A program may run successfully during development and still fail when real users, unexpected conditions, security risks, and complex environments expose its weaknesses.How can engineers build software that is not only functional but dependable? How can teams use AI coding agents while maintaining control, correctness, and confidence? How can developers design systems whose behavior can be understood, tested, and trusted?Reliable Software Engineering with Logic and AI provides a practical framework for creating software systems that stand up to real-world complexity. This book explains how engineers can combine logical reasoning, formal methods, verification techniques, testing strategies, and AI-assisted development practices to build software that is predictable, maintainable, and trustworthy.Rather than focusing only on writing code, this book explores the deeper engineering principles behind reliable systems. Readers will learn how to translate human intent into precise specifications, design software around clear rules and guarantees, verify behavior through evidence, and establish stronger development workflows in the age of artificial intelligence.Inside this book, you will learn how to: Design software systems around reliability, maintainability, and predictable behavior instead of simply producing working features.Transform unclear requirements into precise specifications that developers, testers, and AI coding agents can understand.Apply logic, constraints, and decision models to create software behavior that is consistent and explainable.Use formal reasoning techniques, specifications, and verification approaches to improve software confidence.Define system properties, invariants, and contracts that protect critical behaviors.Apply design by contract principles to create stronger and more dependable software components.Model complex workflows using state machines to prevent invalid states and unexpected outcomes.Use property-based testing to discover hidden failures and edge cases beyond traditional testing approaches.Build effective verification workflows for AI-generated code and AI-assisted software development.Establish trust boundaries, safety controls, and reliability practices for autonomous AI systems.Combine human engineering judgment with AI capabilities to create faster and more responsible development processes.Whether you are a software engineer, developer, technical leader, architect, computer science student, or professional working with AI-powered development tools, this book provides the principles and practical techniques needed to create software that can be trusted in increasingly complex environments.The future of software engineering is not only about creating systems faster. It is about creating systems that people can depend on.Build stronger engineering foundations, improve your software reliability practices, and learn how to create trustworthy systems with Reliable Software Engineering with Logic and AI today.

Modern software is being built faster than ever, yet reliability remains one of the biggest challenges in engineering. Systems fail because requirements are unclear, assumptions remain hidden, business rules become complicated, and AI-generated code introduces new uncertainties.

How can engineers build software that is not only functional but dependable? How can teams use AI coding agents while maintaining control, correctness, and confidence? How can developers design systems whose behavior can be understood, tested, and trusted?
Reliable Software Engineering with Logic and AI provides a practical framework for creating software systems that stand up to real-world complexity. This book explains how engineers can combine logical reasoning, formal methods, verification techniques, testing strategies, and AI-assisted development practices to build software that is predictable, maintainable, and trustworthy.
Rather than focusing only on writing code, this book explores the deeper engineering principles behind reliable systems. Readers will learn how to translate human intent into precise specifications, design software around clear rules and guarantees, verify behavior through evidence, and establish stronger development workflows in the age of artificial intelligence.
Inside this book, you will learn how to:
- Design software systems around reliability, maintainability, and predictable behavior instead of simply producing working features.
- Transform unclear requirements into precise specifications that developers, testers, and AI coding agents can understand.
- Apply logic, constraints, and decision models to create software behavior that is consistent and explainable.
- Use formal reasoning techniques, specifications, and verification approaches to improve software confidence.
- Define system properties, invariants, and contracts that protect critical behaviors.
- Apply design by contract principles to create stronger and more dependable software components.
- Model complex workflows using state machines to prevent invalid states and unexpected outcomes.
- Use property-based testing to discover hidden failures and edge cases beyond traditional testing approaches.
- Build effective verification workflows for AI-generated code and AI-assisted software development.
- Establish trust boundaries, safety controls, and reliability practices for autonomous AI systems.
- Combine human engineering judgment with AI capabilities to create faster and more responsible development processes.
Whether you are a software engineer, developer, technical leader, architect, computer science student, or professional working with AI-powered development tools, this book provides the principles and practical techniques needed to create software that can be trusted in increasingly complex environments.
The future of software engineering is not only about creating systems faster. It is about creating systems that people can depend on.
Build stronger engineering foundations, improve your software reliability practices, and learn how to create trustworthy systems with Reliable Software Engineering with Logic and AI today.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
