- Hello users !
-
- I've just started a PhD Thesis in Computer Science, in cooperation
- with a French company. The subject of the Thesis is dealing with
- specification and I have to use abstraction techniques to specify
- a huge software. The fact is that, today, the company didn't write
- informal specifications, but they intend to do it (together with me).
- The first task I would like to realize is to explain to some folks
- of the company what are the interests of abstraction and specification.
-
- The point of my article is to ask ALL of you this question :
-
- Does anybody there know if I could find some experiences in this kind
- of work, and do I have any chance to find a simple (but comprehensive and
- sufficiently detailed) example of such kind of specification ?
-
- I would be very pleased if I could find the following sources :
-
- - Informal specification of a "school-problem" (lifts, coffee-
- machine, ...)
- - Abstract formal specification derived from the previous one
- - Refinement of the previous specification (pascal-like for instance)
-
- Everybody around me say that doesn't exist !
-
- Actually, I've the "feeling" of what I have to do, but it is definitively not
- enough to start my thesis (and my bosses don't care of my "feelings" !).
-
- Please, e-mail me ALL the (even small) informations you know about this
- kind of work. It will help me A LOT, because I'm stucked !
-
- (This is the first time I write something in the news ; then, be tolerant !)
-
-
-
- Thanks in advance.
