چکیده
We describe an approach for deening and making use of compositions of partial speciications written in diierent formal languages. The technique provides a rst step towards integrating formal methods that use the notations. We discuss the integration process and consider how reenement can occur in such a setting. We present several examples of formal heterogeneous speciications, and two examples of integrated formal method usage based on such an idea.

BCS Heterogeneous Notations for Pure Formal Method Integration
We outline an extendible approach for combining formal methods| such as Z, Morgan's re nement calculus, and predicative programming|based on composing speci cations written in similar formal languages. We discuss how algorithm re nement can be extended to such a setting, and outline some examples of using integrated formal methods. We also provide justi cations for why using combinations of sim...
متن کاملComparing Extended Z with a Heterogeneous Notation for Reasoning about Time and Space
We contrast using a notation extension with using a combination of notations. Specifically, we compare the use of an extended dialect of Z [10] with a combination of Z and predicative programming notation [6] for algorithm refinement and for reasoning about time and space constraints on systems. We discuss the difficulty of using extended notations versus using heterogeneous notations, and cons...
متن کاملUsing Heterogeneous Notations to Integrate a Formal and Object-Oriented Method
We combine a formal speciication technique with an object-oriented method using a meta-method for formal method integration based on heterogeneous notations 18, 19]. We discuss the integrated method, and then apply it to an example.
متن کاملHepatocellular carcinoma associated with budd-chiari syndrome: imaging features and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization
BACKGROUND Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) often leads to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has been increasingly used to treat BCS patients with HCC. The purposes of this study were to illustrate imaging features in BCS patients with HCC, and to analyze the effects of TACE on BCS patients with HCC. METHODS 246 consecutive patients with primary BCS wer...
متن کاملReceptive fields of retinal bipolar cells are mediated by heterogeneous synaptic circuitry.
Center-surround antagonistic receptive field (CSARF) organization is the basic synaptic circuit that serves as elementary building blocks for spatial information processing in the visual system. Cells with such receptive fields converge into higher-order visual neurons to form more complex receptive fields. Retinal bipolar cells (BCs) are the first neurons along the visual pathway that exhibit ...
