A Type-Theoretic Basis for an Object-Oriented Refinement Calculus

  • Chapter

Abstract

A characteristic feature of object-oriented program development is its uniform way of structuring all stages of the development by classes: Classes describe objects found during problem analysis, and classes emerge during design and implementation. As classes serve different purposes during the development, they have to be defined in appropriate notations: in a problem-oriented way during analysis and in an efficiently implementable language for the implementation.
