  Computable models
Turner R.,  Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, London, UK, 2009. 240 pp. Type: Book (9781848820517), Reviews: (2 of 2)

Today’s scientific world has become strongly invested in the generic concept of computational science, that is, constructing computational models and numerical solution techniques that would allow computers to analyze and solve scientific,...

  Computable models
Turner R.,  Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, London, UK, 2009. 240 pp. Type: Book (9781848820517), Reviews: (1 of 2)

The title of this book is a misnomer; it suggests a work in recursion theory. In fact, this monograph shows how the Z and Vienna development method (VDM) specification languages, which are based on set theory, can have computable models. Turner...

  A case study involving the use of Z to aid requirements specification in the software engineering course
Hasson P., Cooper S.  Software engineering education and training (Proceedings of the 17th Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training (CSEET’04), Mar 1-3, 2004) 84-90, 2004. Type: Proceedings, Reviews: (2 of 2)

A software engineering course’s success depends on good specifications for program requirements, and the authors examine whether using Z notation would produce better specifications, as the basis for success of the overall project....

  A case study involving the use of Z to aid requirements specification in the software engineering course
Hasson P., Cooper S.  Software engineering education and training (Proceedings of the 17th Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training (CSEET’04), Mar 1-3, 2004) 84-90, 2004. Type: Proceedings, Reviews: (1 of 2)

Hasson and Cooper present a case study of three different types of student projects in which the Z language is used to write the requirements specification. The three projects are an online store, a scheduler, and an email client. The purpose of...

  The Object-Z specification language
Smith G.,  Kluwer Academic Publishers, Norwell, MA, 2000. 146 pp. Type: Book (9780792386841)

The Object-Z specification language is an extension to Z that combines object-oriented concepts with formal methods. This approach may help bridge the gap between the specification and the implementation of software systems in the context...

  Structuring Z specifications with views
Jackson D.  ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology 4(4): 365-389, 1995. Type: Article

Schemas are a good construct for modular decomposition of Z specifications, and constitute one of the keys of Z’s success. Schemas are largely used in examples and case studies, but specifications presented in literature are usually...

  Formalizing style to understand descriptions of software architecture
Abowd G., Allen R., Garlan D.  ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology 4(4): 319-364, 1995. Type: Article

Software architecture is an important part of software systems. In this context, the systems are treated as collections of components communicating with each other in different ways and by means of some connections. The architectural descriptions ...

  Specifying a Safety-Critical Control System in Z
Jacky J.  IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 21(2): 99-106, 1995. Type: Article

Jacky describes a formal specification, using the Z notation, for a safety-critical control system designed for a medical device. The specification is a formal model for the main features of a family of applications, called a framework. In order...

  An introduction to discrete mathematics, formal system specification, and Z
Ince D. (ed),  Oxford University Press, Inc., New York, NY, 1993.Type: Book (9780198538363)

The fact that this book now appears in its second edition attests to the popularity of both the subject matter and the author’s way of dealing with it. The author has two aims: to introduce logic, sets, relations, and functions (the first...

  Information modeling
Edmond D.,  Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1992.Type: Book (9780134577487)

At first this book gave me the impression that SQL had somehow become integrated with the formal specification notation Z (work on casting entity-relationship modeling and other aspects of systems analysis into Z has already appeared in software...
