Title Refinement Through Pictures: Formalising Syntropy Refinement Concepts
Contributors
Abstract This paper provides techniques for formally justifying the refinement steps given for the Syntropy method of Cook and Daniels. It uses a temporal logic formalism, the Object Calculus, to formalise the models of Syntropy in modules which are theories, linked by theory-preserving morphisms. Refinements are also characterised by particular forms of interpretations between theories. The intention is to provide support for a system which allows refinement steps to be carried out via diagrammatic descriptions, rather than mathematical formulae, and hence to enhance the usability of a formal approach to object-oriented software development.
