Abstract

This paper describes a pragmatic, rigorous integration of the mathematical specification language Z with well-known object modeling notations and an object-oriented variant of statecharts. The goal is to preserve the abstraction and flexibility of widely-used design notations while being able to embed the precision and rigor of mathematical specification at selected places. The integration between the notations is based on a mapping between entities of the three models.
