Beschreibung
Object-Z is an object-oriented extension of the formal specification language Z. It adds to Z notions of classes and objects, and inheritance and polymorphism. By extending Z's semantic basis, it enables the specification of systems as collections of independent objects in which self and mutual referencing are possible. The ObjectZ Specification Language presents a comprehensive description of ObjectZ including discussions of semantic issues, definitions of all language constructs, type rules and other rules of usage, specification guidelines, and a full concrete syntax. It will enable you to confidently construct ObjectZ specifications and is intended as a reference manual to keep by your side as you use and learn to use ObjectZ. The ObjectZ Specification Language is suitable as a textbook or as a secondary text for a graduatelevel course, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.
