Abstract

Discusses the current situation of formal methods and their use in the re-engineering of computing systems, especially real-time systems. Based on the analysis results, a solution which uses a consistent 4-sector Wide Spectrum Language (WSL) is proposed, which presently includes the general architecture and work flow, the structure of the Object-Action Model, the syntax and semantics of the Object-oriented Temporal Agent Model (ObTAM) and the Timed Guarded Command Language (TGCL). A small case study shows an optimistic future for our WSL technique. Further research will aim to build the complete semantic kernel of the WSL and its associated algebraic laws, including transformation rules and abstraction rules.
