The specification language Z is extended to the language Object-Z in such a manner that the elements of object-oriented systems: class, inheritance and polymorhism can be formulated and used in the sp ecification. This makes the specification-implemention job easier for such systems. The book contains a motivating introduction with an instructive example. The following chapter explainins the extension of the semantic basis. Chapter 3 introduces and discusses carefully all the new elements of the syntax of Object-Z. Chapter 4 is intended as a reference manual for the language. Elements for the specification of real-life object-oriented systems, with concurrently working objects, are discussed in chapter 5. The complete concrete syntax of the new specification language is to be found, in a BNF-manner, at the end. The language, described by this book, represents a necessary step with respect to one of the main goals of software-engineering, to express the effect of modern systems adequately by specifications before the systems are implemented.
