Distributed Cooperative Formal Methods Tools

Joseph A. Goguen, Kai Lin, Akira Mori, Grigore Rosu, Akiyoshi Sato

Abstract

This paper describes some tools to support formal methods, and conversely some formal methods for developing such tools. We focus on distributed cooperative proving over the web. Our tools include a proof editor/assistant, servers for remote proof execution, a distributed truth protocol, an editor generator; and a new method for interface design called algebraic semiotics, which combines semiotics with algebraic specification. Some examples are given.
