Abstract

We present a method for specifying and implementing algorithms for Boolean logic problems. It is formally grounded in relational algebra. Specifications are written in first-order set theory and then transformed systematically into relation-algebraic forms which can be executed directly in RelView, a computer system for the manipulation of relations and relational programming. Our method yields programs that are correct by construction. It is illustrated by some examples.
