Building VCL Models and Automatically Generating Z Specifications from Them
نویسندگان
چکیده
VCL is a visual and formal language for abstract specification of software systems. Its novelty lies in its capacity to describe predicates visually. This paper presents work-in-progress on a tool for VCL; the tool version presented here supports the VCL notations of structural and assertion diagrams (a subset of the whole VCL suite), enabling the generation of Z specifications from them.

Automated Testing From Z Specifications
This paper considers the problem of automatically generating tests from Z specifications based on userdefined testing criteria. Automation is facilitated by formally specifying heuristics for generating tests that can be applied to a specification using general purpose theorem proving tools. The formal specification of the heuristics also allows desirable properties to be checked and comparativ...
متن کاملAutomatically enhancing CityGML LOD2 models with a corresponding indoor geometry
The international standard CityGML defines five levels of detail (LODs) for 3D city models, but only the highest of them (LOD4) supports modelling the indoor geometry of a building, which must be acquired in correspondingly high detail and therefore at a high cost. Whereas simple 3D city models of the exterior of buildings (e.g. CityGML LOD2) can be generated largely automatically, and are thus...
متن کاملGenerating State-Based Testing Models for Object-Oriented Framework Interface Classes
An application framework provides a reusable design and implementation for a family of software systems. Application developers extend the framework to build their particular applications using hooks. Hooks are the places identified to show how to use and customize the framework. Hooks define the Framework Interface Classes (FICs) and the specifications of their methods. As part of the developm...
متن کاملCollective Specification and Verification of Behavior Models and Object-oriented Implementations
We present a finite-state-machine-based language, iFSM, to seamlessly integrate the behavioral logic and implementation strategies of object-oriented abstractions and prevent them from being out-of-sync. We provide a transformation engine which automatically translates iFSM specifications to lower-level C++/Java class implementations that are similar in style to manually written code. Further, ...
متن کاملSynthesis of Logic Programs from Object-Oriented Formal Specifications
Early validation of requirements is crucial for the rigorous development of software. Without it, even the most formal of the methodologies will produce the wrong outcome. One successful approach, popularised by some of the so-called lightweight formal methods, consists in generating (finite, small) models of the specifications. Another possibility is to build a running prototype from those spe...
