From the reviews: "The book represents a collection of essays concerning the various topics of programming methodology. ... A sample selected above from twenty essays of the book shows the topics cover relatively broad spectrum of programming methodology. ... Each essay concludes with a good set of references. This interesting book may be recommended namely to readers actively working in the field." (Ivan Martinec, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1030, 2004)
