Software is pervasive in our lives. We are accustomed to dealing with the failures of much of that software - restarting an application is a very familiar solution. Such solutions are unacceptable when the software controls our cars, airplanes and medical devices or manages our private information. These applications must run without error. SPARK provides a means, based on mathematical proof, to guarantee that a program has no errors. SPARK is a formally defined programming language and a set of verification tools specifically designed to support the development of software used in high integrity applications. Using SPARK, developers can formally verify properties of their code such as information flow, freedom from runtime errors, functional correctness, security properties and safety properties. Written by two SPARK experts, this is the first introduction to the just-released 2014 version. It will help students and developers alike master the basic concepts for building systems with SPARK.

The latest edition of the definitive guide to the Ada language covers the full details of the core language Ada 2012 as updated by the 2016 ISO Corrigendum and introduces the key new features in Ada 2022. The book is in four parts. It begins by introducing the fundamental concepts for newcomers, before moving onto algorithmic aspects and then structural features such as OOP and multitasking. The fourth part gives details of the standard library and interaction with the external environment. Six complete executable programs illustrate the core features of the language in action. The book concludes with an appendix focussing on the new features in Ada 2022. These new features aid program proof and the efficient use of multicore architectures.

This book provides an accessible introduction to the SPARK programming language. Updated 'classic' that covers all of the new features of SPARK, including Object Oriented Programming. The only book on the market that covers this important and robust programming language. CD-ROM contains the main SPARK tools and additional manuals giving all the information needed to use SPARK in practice. Technology: The SPARK language is aimed at writing reliable software that combines simplicity and rigour within a practical framework. Because of this, many safety-critical, high integrity systems are developed using SPARK. User Level: Intermediate Audience: Software engineers, programmers, technical leaders, software managers. Engineering companies in fields such as avionics, railroads, medical instrumentation and automobiles. Academics giving MSc courses in Safety Critical Systems Engineering, System Safety Engineering, Software Engineering. Author Biography: John Barnes is a veteran of the computing industry. In 1977 he designed and implemented the RTL/2 programming language and was an original member of the ADA programming language design team. He was founder and MD of Alsys Ltd from 1985 to 1991. Currently self employed, John is the author of 'Programming in ADA' which has sold 150000 copies and been translated into 6 languages.
