Abstract

In the context of large scale industrial installations, modelchecking often fails to tap its full potential because of a missing linkbetween a system's specification and its functional and nonfunctional requirements, like safety. Our work bridges this gap by providing a translationfrom the formal specification language Object-Z to the SMV modelchecker input language to combine their advantages. This paper focuses on the translation of the object-oriented featuresof Object-Z: operation promotion and communication between objects.We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach using the example ofthe TWIN Elevator system and embed the translation process in theindustrial software production workflow.
