[comp.specification] Seeking formal description of Meta-IV

weber@gmdzi.UUCP (Frank Weber) (07/24/90)

I am looking for a complete formal description of the VDM dialect Meta-IV
(more precise: DDC/Meta-IV).

Could anyone provide me with some references, please?

Thank you.

Frank,

   Contact Peter Gorm Larsen <peter@ifad.dk> who has been working on
BSI-VDM formal semantics for quite a while now.  He also knows about
DDC/Meta IV.  You could also approach Dines Bjorner <db@iddth.dk>
directly.

   I wrote the semantic definition for the STC VDM language a long
time back - so I have been involved in the BSI-VDM effort also.
However, I'm intregued you want to go back to DDC/Meta IV and not
forward to BSI/VDM or RAISE or MetaSoft or Z or COLD-K or ...
