Goguen Salvage

Goguen Salvage refers to a theoretical framework in computer science and formal methods introduced by Joseph Goguen. It emphasizes the importance of formal languages and mathematical models to specify, analyze, and verify software systems. The approach promotes precise descriptions of system behavior, allowing for better design, correctness, and understanding. Essentially, Goguen Salvage aims to salvage or recover clarity in complex system development by using rigorous, mathematical techniques to ensure systems work as intended. It’s a foundational idea that supports designing reliable software through formal reasoning.
