Abstract

This paper presents a formal executable semantics of object-oriented models. We made it possible to conduct both simulation and theorem proving on the semantics by implementing it within the expressive intersection of the functional programming language ML and the theorem prover HOL. In this paper, we present the definition and implementation of the semantics. We also present a prototype verification tool ObjectLogic which supports simulation and theorem proving on the semantics. As a case study, we show the verification of a practical firewall system.
