Topics UML, Object-Oriented

The engineering of systems that are acceptably correct is a hard problem. Modelling approaches that are good for practical, large-scale system development, are not amenable to formal analysis and consistency checking, whilst formal analysis requires a level of competence and expertise that is not common in commercial systems development communities. This paper demonstrates the use of meta-proof for (a subset of) the initialisation proof obligations.
