Abstract

The Common Framework Initiative (CoFI) is an open international collaboration which aims to provide a common framework for algebraic specification and development of software. The central element of the Common Framework is a specification language called Casl for formal specification of functional requirements and modular software design which subsumes many previous algebraic specification languages. This paper is a brief summary of past and present work on CoFI.
