| Abstract |
|
Stepwise design involves the process of deriving a concrete
model of a software system from a given abstract one.
This process is sometimes known as refinement.
There are numerous refinement theories proposed in the
literature, each of which stipulates the nature of the relationship
between an abstract specification and its concrete
counterpart.
This paper considers six refinement theories in Z that
have been proposed by various people over the years. However,
no systematic investigation of these theories, or results
on the relationships between them, have been presented or
published before. This paper shows that these theories fall
into two important categories and proves that the theories
in each category are equivalent.
