[comp.specification] A Larch style interface language for Smalltalk-80

leavens@cs.iastate.edu (Gary Leavens) (05/29/91)

A student of mine, Yoonsik Cheon, has completed a Master's thesis
that describes the design of a model-oriented interface specification
langauge for Smalltalk:

@MastersThesis{Cheon91,
  Key = 	"Cheon",
  Author = 	"Yoonsik Cheon",
  Title = 	"Larch/Smalltalk: A Specification Language for Smalltalk",
  School = 	"Iowa State University",
  Year = 	1991,
  Address = 	"Ames, Iowa",
  Annote = 	"40 references."
}

We will soon be making this into a technical report.  If you would
like a copy, drop me (or Yoonsik) a line at leavens@cs.iastate.edu
(or cheon@cs.iastate.edu).

	The design of Larch/Smalltalk does not include a formal
sementics for the specifications yet.  However, there is a nice
type browser and trait browser written in smalltalk that has been
implemented to help test the ideas.
