Abstract

This chapter will address the question of why formal notations are useful in object-oriented development, both in terms of adherence to standards such as MOD 00–55 [234], and in terms of the general quality improvement obtainable from the use of well-defined notations. Cost benefits will be discussed, based on previous industrial experiences. Other developments in the area, such as the Fusion and Syntropy methods [58, 64], will also be described.
