 7月のsigfmは、法政大学の劉少英さんからVDM-SLとデータフロー図とペトリネットとを統合した、SOFL仕様記述言語と方法論のお話をしていただくことになりました。講演は主として英語で行われますが、劉さんは日本語も達者ですので、質疑応答は日本語で可能です。

概要

Formal methods have been developed as a rigorous approach to computer systems development over last three decades, but has been facing strong challenges in fighting for industrial acceptance at large. Most commonly used formal methods do not offer effective and comprehensible structuring mechanism for building complex systems; formal refinement rules are insufficient in dealing with real development situations; and formal verification is not capable of validating systems, although it may be useful in verifying the correctness of programs against their formal specifications. To support application of formal methods in industrial setting, many open problems remain to be resolved.

Over last 10 years, we have developed the SOFL specification language and method for software development, aiming to address those problems. As a specification language, SOFL integrates VDM-SL, Data Flow Diagrams, and Petri Nets to provide an intuitive, rigorous, and comprehensible formal notation for specifications at different levels. As a method, it combines structured methods and object-oriented methods, and advocates an evolutionary approach to constructing specifications; it integrates the idea of formal proof and commonly used verification and validation techniques, such as testing and reviews, to offer rigorous but practical verification techniques.

In this talk, I will give a detailed analysis of the problems formal methods are facing in both theory and practice, and present SOFL language and method as a Formal Engineering Method for complex systems development.
