The logic of propagation in the inscape environment
D. Perry · 1989
The Inscape Environment research project addresses issues in supporting the development of large systems by large numbers of programmers. One aspect of this research is the “constructive use” of formal module interface specifications - that is, given that you have formal specifications, what can you do with them. In Inscape, the specifications form the basis for providing an environment that is knowledgeable about the process of developing and evolving software systems, an environment that works in symbiosis with the programmer to develop and evolve a software system.
