Specification and (property) inheritance in CSP-OZ

Specification and (property) inheritance in CSP-OZ

CSP-OZ [C. Fischer, CSP-OZ: A combination of Object-Z and CSP, in: H. Bowman, J. Derrick (Eds.), Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems, FMOODS’97, vol. 2, Chapman & Hall, 1997, pp. 423–438] is a combination of Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) and Object-Z (OZ). It enables the specification of systems having both a state-based and a behaviouroriented view using the obj...

Combining CSP and B for Specification and Property Verification

ProB is a model checking tool for the B Method. In this paper we present an extension of ProB that supports checking of specifications written in a combination of CSP and B. We explain how the notations are combined semantically and give an overview of the implementation of the combination. We illustrate the benefit that appropriate use of CSP, in conjunction with our tool, gives to B developme...

Data Abstraction for CSP-OZ

CSP-OZ is an integrated formal method which combines the state-oriented method Object-Z with the process algebra CSP, thereby allowing a description of static as well as dynamic aspects of a system. Checking correctness of CSP-OZ specifications can be done via a translation into (FDR-)CSP, on which automatic verification can be performed with the tool FDR if the resulting CSP process is not too...

CSP-OZ-DC: A Combination of Specification Techniques for Processes, Data and Time

CSP-OZ-DC is a new combination of three well researched formal techniques for the specification of processes, data and time: CSP [Hoare 1985], Object-Z [Smith 2000], and Duration Calculus [Zhou et al. 1991]. This combination is illustrated by specifying the train controller of a case study on radio controlled railway crossings. The technical contribution of the paper is a smooth integration of ...
