Programming is communication; the programmer “explains” to a computer how to carry out a task, with the explanation being the program. Can you think of any cases where communication directed to people uses direct or indirect recursion? Are there cases where such a use of recursion is indispensable?

Judging rules can be difficult – even for an objective computer program. In football (orsoccer as some people call it), the official rules say that the referee can allow the playto continue ‘when the team against which an offence has been committed will benefitfrom such an advantage’ and penalize ‘the original offence if the anticipated advantagedoes not ensue at that time’ (Federation Internationale de Football Association 2003).How would you implement this rule?

Formal Methods are based on logic reasoning. Conceptually the two most common logics are propositional logic and Predicate Logic. An undergraduate student who took a course of discrete mathematics is inquiring as to how propositional and predicate logics can be used in software testing. You are asked to guide this student in this quest. One pointer may consist in presenting the characteristics and limitations of both logic as well as their use as a mean for software testing. Which Logic is most adequate for formal verification of software and how this should be implemented?
