In Software Abstractions Daniel Jackson introduces an approach to software design that draws on traditional formal methods but exploits automated tools to find flaws as early as possible. This approach--which Jackson calls "lightweight formal methods" or "agile modeling"--takes from formal specification the idea of a precise and expressive notation based on a tiny core of simple and robust concepts but replaces conventional analysis based on theorem proving with a fully automated analysis that gives designers immediate feedback. Jackson has developed Alloy, a language that captures the essence of software abstractions simply and succinctly, using a minimal toolkit of mathematical notions. This revised edition updates the text, examples, and appendixes to be fully compatible with the latest version of Alloy (Alloy 4).

What do information security and the art of war have in common? The answer, this book argues, is a great deal. Although the authors have an expert technical knowledge of information security, they strongly believe that technical and procedural measures cannot offer a solution on their own. Information security is not painting by numbers. You can tick all the right boxes and acquire the latest technology, and you may fail all the same.
