Software changes during its lifetime. Likewise, specifications change during their design time, e.g. by removing, adding or changing operations. In a refinement-based approach to software design, we moreover do not deal with a single but with a chain of specifications, related via refinement. Changes thus need to be consistently made to all specifications in the chain so as to keep the refinement structure. In this paper, we describe such co-evolutions of specifications in the context of the formal method Object-Z. More specifically, given a particular evolution of a specification we show how to construct a corresponding evolution for its refinements. We furthermore formally prove our co-evolutions to maintain refinement, thus giving rise to a notion of refinement-preserving co-evolution .
