Abstract:Abstract: "This thesis is concerned with the generalization of the algebraic specification technique to the case of nondeterministic operations. For this purpose, heterogeneous algebras are generalized to so-called multi-algebras where the operations are set-valued. As a specification language for such algebras general (i.e. non-confluent) term rewriting systems are used instead of equations. Classical results for equational specifications are transferred to the nondeterministic case, provided the specifications are built on top of a deterministic basis in a particularly simple and useful manner
The way of integrating important additional concepts into the more general framework is examined, with respect to: partial operations, hierarchical specifications and conditional equations (resp. term rewriting systems). The new specification technique is applied to a number of examples from different areas of computer science. It turns out that existing software tools for term rewriting (in particular the RAP system) can be applied to this more general class of specifications.
