Semantics of the Unified Modeling Language
- Object-oriented analysis and design is an increasingly popular software development method. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has recently been proposed as a standard language for expressing object-oriented designs. Unfortunately, in its present form the UML lacks a precisely defined semantics

Specifying Verifying Concurrent Systems Using Z
- At present, few guidelines exist for applying the Z notation to concurrent systems, while existing approaches to proving properties of Z specifications of concurrent systems place emphasis on the use of additional formalisms such as temporal logic. This paper proposes a practical and rigorous approa

A Case Study in Specifying, Verifying and Refining a Parallel System in Z
- Introduction The formal specification notation Z [Spi92] is one of the most popular and widely used notations for the specification and development of software and hardware systems. There is a large literature base of industrial case studies that have used Z, growing availability of high quality to

An Assertional Verification Method for Z Specifications of Concurrent Systems
- This paper presents a a set of inference rules for formally proving safety and liveness properties of extended Z specifications of concurrent systems. The rules are based on assertional verification techniques but are implemented in W , the emerging deductive calculus for Z. Thus, they can be verifi

An Improved Recipe for Specifying Reactive Systems in Z
- The aim of this paper is to show that this promising approach can be greatly improved and extended upon to the point where it can provide a practical method for specifying reactive systems in Z. It also adds to work originally presented in [Evans, 1996]. The four extensions made are: Genericity; Rea
