Loose specification and refinement in Z
Eerke Boiten
In D. Bert, J.P. Bowen, M.C. Henson, and K. Robinson, editors, ZB 2002: Formal Specification and Development in Z and B, volume 2272 of Lecture Notes in Computer Science, pages 182-196, Grenoble, France, January 2002. Springer.Abstract
Z is a specification notation with a model-based semantics, but in
contrast to most such languages, its normal refinement relation is not
defined in terms of model containment. This paper investigates this
phenomenon, leading to a variety of observations concerning the
relation between Z semantics and refinement.
