IntroductionIntroduction• A Z formal specification is a mathematical

system.• It consists of • Undefined terms• Define terms• Axioms – in the form of state schemas and

operation schemas.

3

IntroductionIntroduction• A mathematical system needs to be validated

to ensure that it is complete and consistent.• Validation of a Z specification can be done by:1.Proving of the initial state theorem2.Calculating preconditions3.Proof of properties

Which states it can be successfully applied?

Does it provide a total interface?

Calculating the precondition of schema OrdinaryDepartureOK

Given the schema as follows:

37

The above is the simplified version of the schema.Therefore, we can say that for an ordinary car to be successfullydepart, the state should be:• the number of ordinary cars in the car park should be at least one and should not be greater than the car park capacity.

38

SummarySummaryWrite the schema.

Expand the schema.

Write its PreSchema, (that is by hiding all prime variables and output variables.)

Use One Point Rule

Simplify the schema

Conclusion

ExerciseExerciseTake one example of schema operation/observation from each of your case study and calculate its precondition.

40

TotalityTotalityDoes it provide a total interface?

An operation is total if it is defined on every state which satisfies the state invariant.

The operation OrdinaryDepartureOK is not total, because it does not say what happens when ordinaryCars = 0.

However, we have specified the total operation of an ordinarydeparting in schema OrdinaryDeparture.

Prove that schema OrdinaryDeparture is total.

Proof of PropertiesProof of Properties

41

Every mathematical system must have certain properties.Similarly, since a formal specification is a mathematical system it must have some properties.Completeness of a formal specification can be shown by showing that these properties can be derived from the specification.


42

In CarPark System:1.If an ordinary car arrive, then the number of ordinary car in the car park increases by one.2.If an ordinary car leave the car park, number of ordinary car in the car park reduces by one.3.an entrance of a pass holder will increase the number of pass holders in used by one and will not change the number of ordinary cars in the car park.

43


Prove that an entrance of a pass holder will increase the number ofpass holders in used by one and will not change the number of ordinary cars in the car park.
