Abstract

In the second part of the paper, we investigate the applicability of formal methods to the specification of measuring instrument systems. We then conduct a case study in the widely used Z method. Using formal methods for specification purposes, one can obtain a clear understanding of user’s problems, especially the aspects of functional behaviour, and therefore produce a correct specification document based on this understanding.
