A XML/XSL approach to visualize and animate TCOZ
Jing Sun, Jin Song Dong, Jing Liu, Hai Wang · 2005
The challenge for system specification is how to visually and precisely capture static, dynamic and real-time system properties in a highly structured way. Timed Communicating Object-Z (TCOZ) is an integrated formal notation that build on Object-Z's strengths in modeling complex data structures, and on Timed CSP's strengths in modeling real-time interactions. In this paper, we demonstrate approaches of using XML/XSL as a transformation tool to visualize TCOZ models into various UML diagrams and to animate TCOZ specifications with a multi-paradigm programming language-Oz.
