  • Abstract
    A specification, and its development, for a small bookshop information system are discussed. the specification is presented using mathematics and the scheme calculus of C. Morgan and B. Sufrin (see ibid., vol.SE-10, no.2, p.128-142, 1984). An insight is given into how the specification was developed and why a formal specification is appropriate
