Review7 of Semantic Integration of Heterogeneous Software Speci cations Author: Martin Grobe-Rhode Publisher: Springer-Verlag, 2004 Reviewer: Maulik A. Dave (Photo Unavailable) Overview Software speci cations and modeling are extensively used in software engineering. The variations in di erent speci cation methods are found not only at language level, but also at theoretical level. The book o ers to solve the problem of integrating speci cations developed with di erent methods. Summary of Contents After literature survey, the rst chapter introduces concepts such as viewpoint model of software modeling, and reference models. It stresses on language and method independent integration. The transformation systems reference model is introduced informally, and brie y. The second chapter is on data spaces. Transformations on data spaces are formalized. They are explained by taking linked list as an example. Data spaces from other speci cation frameworks such as graph grammars, petri nets, states as algebras, and abstract state machines are discussed. Control ow speci cations are discussed in third chapters. Rewriting of algebras with the application of transformation rules, is explained. The models also get developed using other abstract models. The operations required to do this, are described in forth chapter. The chapter begins
