Popular
descriptive specification style used
|
|
|
to
define a system as a heterogeneous

|
|
|
algebra
(a collection of different sets on
|
|
|

which
several operations are defined)
|

ä |
Specification
is quite close to the notion of

ä |
module
that exports a type along with the
|
|
|
operations
that must be invoked to access and
|
|
|
manipulate
objects of that type
|
|
|
|
ä |
hides
the representation of the type and the
