Title
Consistent Integration of Formal Methods
Abstract
The usability of formal concepts for system design depends essentially on their integration in the design process. We discuss several possible levels of integration: technical integration of tools considering APIs and tool interfaces, conceptual integration of metamodels of description formalisms combined with hard and soft constraints, semantical integration of semantics of description techniques using a common semantic model, and finally methodical integration by an embedding in the development process. We show the feasibility of such an integrated approach and its advantages presenting AutoFocus/Quest, a formal method CASE-Tool with its levels of integration. Parts of a banking system model are used as example.
