Refinement in Z and Object-Z Foundations and Advanced Applications /

Refinement is one of the cornerstones of the formal approach to software engineering, and its use in various domains has led to research on new applications and generalisation. This book brings together this important research in one volume, with the addition of examples drawn from different applica...
