This text constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques, WADT 2001, held jointly with the General Workshop of the ESPRIT Working Group CoFI. Among the topics addressed are formal specification, specification languages and term rewriting. In a traditional rule-based specification of a system a set of rules is given to describe the possible state changes of the system.
