It is not uncommon that software requirements are ambiguous or contradict each other. Ambiguity is exacerbated by the fact that software requirements are typically written in a natural language, which is not tied to any formal semantics. A palliative to the ambiguity of software requirements is to restrict their syntax to boilerplates, textual templates with placeholders. However, as informal requirements do not enjoy any particular semantics, no essential properties about them (or about the system they attempt to describe) can be proven easily. Formal methods are an alternative to address this problem. They offer a range of mathematical techniques and mathematical tools to validate software requirements in the early stages of software development.

This book is a living proof of the use of formal methods to develop software. The particular formalisms that we use are EVENT B and refinement calculus. In short: (i) software requirements as written as User Stories; (ii) they are ported to formal specifications; (iii) they are refined as desired; (iv) they are implemented in the form of a prototype; and finally (v) they are tested for inconsistencies. If some unit-test fails, then informal as well as formal specifications of the software system are revisited and evolved.

This book presents a case study of software development of a chat system with EVENT B and a case study of formal proof of properties of a social network.

SQL Server Database Programming with Visual Basic.NET offers a guide to the fundamental knowledge and practical techniques for the design and creation of professional database programs that can be used for real-world commercial and industrial applications. The author--a noted expert on the topic--uses the most current version of Visual Basic.NET, Visual Basic.NET 2017 with Visual Studio.NET 2017. In addition, he introduces the updated SQL Server database and Microsoft SQL Server 2017 Express. All sample program projects can be run in the most updated version, Visual Basic.NET 2019 with Visual Studio.NET 2019.

Written in an accessible, down-to-earth style, the author explains how to build a sample database using the SQL Server management system and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2018. The latest version of ASP.NET, ASP.NET 4.7, is also discussed to provide the most up-to-date Web database programming technologies. This important book:

- Offers illustrative practical examples and detailed descriptions to aid in comprehension of the material presented

- Includes both fundamental and advanced database programming techniques

- Integrates images into associated database tables using a DevExpress UI tools - WindowsUI

Written for graduate and senior undergraduate students studying database implementations and programming courses, SQL Server Database Programming with Visual Basic.NET shows how to develop professional and practical database programs in Visual Basic.NET 2017/Visual Basic.NET 2019.
