Abstract :
The Z notation is a language that can be used for writing formal specifications of a system since it is based on mathematical notation and logic. However, there is less tool support for this language that one might wish for. In this paper, Z2SAL, a translator for Z which translates the Z notation into a SAL input language, is explored. The generated SAL file can be used further by an existing model checker, specifically ones provided in the SAL tool suite. This paper describes experiences during conducting several experiments on the Z2SAL translator.
