Abstract
. We present an approach to integrate several existing tools and methods to a technical framework for correctly developing and executing program transformations. The resulting systems enable program derivations in a user-friendly way. We illustrate the approach by proving and implementing the transformation Global Search on the basis of the tactical theorem prover Isabelle. A graphical user-interface based on the X-Window toolkit Tk provides user friendly access to the underlying machinery. 1 Introduction Development by transformation is a prominent approach in formal program development (CIP [Bau + 85], PROSPECTRA [HK 93], KIDS [Smi 90]). Many case studies have proven its feasibility and demonstrated how much more abstract and user-oriented developments could be achieved than using usual post-verification approaches (fundamental for systems like PVS [OSR 93]). One recent case study is [KW 95]; and a prominent one is [SPW 95] where a strategic transportation scheduling algorithm is de...
