This collection of papers arose from a series of lecturesfor workers in
computer science and other disciplines. Thelectures were intended to
familiarize them with some of themost exciting advanced computer based
systems for theconceptualization, design, implementation, simulation,
andlogical analysis of applications in these disciplines. The
collection presents some strong motivational points forthe use of theory
based systems in the areas of functionalprogramming, concurrency,
simulation, and automatedreasoning, highlighting some of their advantages
anddisadvantages relative to conventional systems. The papersare
mostly the work of individuals who were among theoriginators of the systemspresented. The volume is intended as a contribution to narrowing
thelearning gap facing conventional computer users when theywish to
use advanced theory based systems. The papers aremeant for a wide audience and should not require greatmathematical sophistication for their
comprehension. Thepapers contain numerous references for those wishing
topursue a topic in greater depth.
