The intention of this part 1 of an overview paper on algebraic specifications is an informal introduction to formal methods for software development in general and to applications of algebraic specifications in particular. Horizontal structuring and vertical refinement techniques for algebraic specifications are shown to support the general software development process. Moreover, a short overview of case studies and tools in the ESPRIT projects LOTOSPHERE and PROSPECTRA is given
