Support tools

Up to now only tools for the development of specifications have been implemented in the Spectrum project.

The RAP&TIP system is an environment for prototyping hierarchical algebraic specifications; moreover it includes an inductive theorem prover for equational formulas [Frau 91].

The ISAR system gives support for the correctness proof of behavioural implementations
[4][Baue 91]. The main technique is context induction which is performed with the help of TIP.

Components of RAP specifications can be designed interactively with the help of the Specifiers Notepad [Breu 90].
