About the WG 2.2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The IFIP Working Group 2.2 was established in 1965 as one of the first IFIP Working Groups. The primary aim of the WG is to explain programming concepts through the development, examination and comparison of various formal models of these concepts. The WG thus explores the theory and the practice of formal methods for the specification, verification and the design of software and systems. Earliest members of the WG included Dana Scott, Erwin Engeler, Jaco de Bakker, Raymond Abrial, Peter Lauer, Manfred Paul, Erich Neuhold, Maurice Nivat, Ed Blum. Throughout the years, members of the WG shaped various styles of semantics, comprising denotational, operational, algebraic, and logical semantics. About the meeting ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The anniversary meeting commemorates the 40-th birthday of WG.
