Abstract:

A tribute to Professor Kaisa Sere’s contributions to the field of computer science, From Action Systems to Distributed Systems: The Refinement Approach presents state-of-the-art information on the themes of distributed systems and refinement. This is the first book to examine the impact of refinement through a multitude of formal methods ranging from Action Systems to numerous related approaches in computer science research. Presenting scientific contributions from renowned researchers around the world, this edited book consists of five sections: Modeling, Analysis, Proof, Refinement, and Applications. Each chapter in this book has been thoroughly reviewed by experts in the field.

Kaisa Sere (1954-2012) was a Finnish computer scientist, professor of Computer Science and
Engineering at Åbo Akademi University, Turku, Finland. She is well-known for her research in
formal methods for distributed systems, using refinement and action systems. She was a role
model to her peers and students, a remarkably positive, energetic, and inspirational researcher. Kaisa Sere had an impressive number of research collaborators; this book is their collective dedication to her memory.
