Abstract.
Our approach is based on UML models. They are edited with the rational Rose
™
tool [Rat96] and complemented with annotations that state several constraints. The class diagram is the starting point of a translation process that produces formal specifications in Z [Spi92] and Lustre [CHP87]. The RoZ tool is used to translate the class diagram into Z automatically. The Z and Lustre specifications are used to validate the UML models by means of a prover and a testing environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
