Robert W. Floyd 08/06/1936 – 25/09/2001 Program Correctness Floyd was a pioneer of the idea of applying mathematics to the problem of program correctness. His work contributed significantly to Hoare Logic / formal programming language semantics. Software Engineering Floyd is said to have been one of the first
Remembering an American Hero. Dear Fsgt Robert Wilson Floyd, sir. As a fellow North Carolinian, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
68 ROBERT W. FLOYD does not satisfy its verification condition. A semantic definition clearly must be consistent. Preferably, it should also be complete; this, how ever, is not always possible. In what follows, we shall have in mind some particular deductive system D, which includes the axioms and rules of inference of the first
Robert Floyd. Robert W Floyd (* 8. jún 1936, New York, USA - † 25. september 2001, Stanford, Kalifornia) bol americký informatik. Svoje stredné meno si počas života nechal zmeniť na "W", ktoré sa vďaka tomu píše bez bodky. Floyd však pripúšťal, že je možné jeho meno "W" skracovať ako "W.". V roku 1978 dostal Turingovu cenu ...
Hoare logic (also known as Floyd–Hoare logic or Hoare rules) is a formal system with a set of logical rules for reasoning rigorously about the correctness of computer programs. It was proposed in 1969 by the British computer scientist and logician Tony Hoare , and subsequently refined by Hoare and other researchers. [1]
by Manuel Blum, Robert W. Floyd• Vaughan Pratt• Ronald L. Rivest, and Robert E. Tarjan August 1971 Abstract New upper and lower bounds are presented for the maximum number of comparisons• f(i,n) , required to select the i-th largest of n numbers. An upper bound is found, by an analysis of a new
In The Language of Machines, Robert Floyd and Richard Beigel revolutionize the teaching of computability and languages. They propose nothing less than redefinition of the building blocks of automata theory: their unified model of computation clarifies the subject as never before. Floyd and Beigel's single model encompasses all the traditional ...
