Prentice Hall International Series in Computer Science was a series of books on computer science published by Prentice Hall. [1] The series' founding editor was Tony Hoare. Richard Bird subsequently took over editing the series. [2] Many of the books in the series have been in the area of formal methods in particular.
At a SIGPLAN symposium in 1973, Tony Hoare discussed various language aspects in some detail. [6] He also identifies a number of shortcomings in (then) current programming languages. “a programming language is a tool which should assist the programmer in the most difficult aspects of his art, namely program design, documentation, and ...

occam 1 [2] (released 1983) was a preliminary version of the language which borrowed from David May's work on EPL and Tony Hoare's CSP. This supported only the VAR data type, which was an integral type corresponding to the native word length of the target architecture, and arrays of only one dimension.

[2] In UTP parlance, a theory is a model of a particular programming paradigm. A UTP theory is composed of three ingredients:
