Z Unification Tools in Generic Formaliser

Abstract

We describe some prototype tools for performing unification (i.e. deriving the least common refinement) of simple Z specifications. The techniques used are those described in http://alethea.ukc.ac.uk/Dept/Computing/Research/NDS/consistency/cccfpsiZ.html on viewpoint specification in Z; the tools have been implemented in Generic http://public.logica.com/formaliser (a product of Logica UK Limited). UKC Computing Laboratory technical report 10-97. The prototype tools themselves (in the form of Generic Formaliser grammars) will be made available later
