Formal specification of IEEE1451.1 fragments
formal specification, object orientation, network capable application processors, object calculus, higher-order logic
Object-oriented techniques have reached the majority position among software development methods. Conversely, formal methods are involved in development process very sporadic, in spite of the often claimed contributions. This paper attempts to show practical benefits of employing the combination of both approaches the formal object-oriented methods. Formal approach is used for specifying of IEEE 1451.1 standard defined semiformally in the object-oriented style. A subset of the definitions provided by the standard is rigorously specified in a novel object-oriented specification language with expressiveness of higher-order logic. The paper serves as a case study demonstrating advantages of the specification language rather than an exaustive description of the architecture provided by the standard.
