Project code: Moby-J
Research group: Research group: Formal methods for coordination languages (SEN3.2)
Start: 2001-10-01
End: 2004-09-30
Project coordinator: Dr. M.M. Bonsangue
The project aims at the development of a programming environment which supports component-based design and verification of Java programs. We define an extension of the Java language called MobiJ with a notion of component which allows for the encapsulation of its internal data-processing and composition by means of mobile asynchronous channels. The programming environment for MobiJ will include tools for specification and verification based on assertional methods. These assertional methods extend and generalize the Object Constraint Language (OCL) used in the Unified Modeling Language.
This is a project previous to the Moby-J project Formal methods for components and objects
