Z について刊行されたものはありますか?

オンラインのZの参考文献集は, World-Wide Web の http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/archive/z/bib.html で BibTex の形式で検索する事ができます. WWW を利用できない人のためにやや古いも のが圧縮されてPRG のアーカイブサーバの ftp.comlab.ox.ac.uk:/pub/Zforum/z.bib.Z ( ftp.comlab.ox.ac.uk:/pub/Zforum/z.ps.Z に PostScript 形式) から手に入れること ができます。Oxfort University Programming Research Group (PRG) の Technical Monographsや Report を秘書 <library@comlab.ox.ac.uk> から手に入れること ができます。

1993 年 3 月に S.Austin と G.I.Parkin によって書かれた"Formal Methods: A Survey" は実務や教育機関での Z の使い方と教えかたがかいてあります。コピーに 関しては DITC Office, Formal Methods Survey, National Laboratory, Teddington, Middlesex TW11 0LW, UK (tel +44-181-943-7002, fax +44-181-977-7091) と連絡を取って下さい。
