  • Abstract
    A description is presented of the development of the tool AUTOSPEC (automated specification), which abstracts formal specifications from program code. The abstraction process can incorporate domain-specific information supplied interactively by the user, as necessary. The abstraction algorithms and a discussion of the use of formal methods and object-oriented techniques for the development of AUTOSPEC are given. Implementation-specific information is given and related work is described
