A major part of the project is the development of a family of specification languages. Each Larch specification has one component written in a language derived from a programming language and another component written in a language that is programming language independent. This talk will present the rationale behind the Larch style of specification and an introduction to the Larch family of specification languages. -- The best way to have a Usenet: [decvax|ihnp4]!utzoo!yetti!oz good idea is to have a Bitnet: oz@[yusol|yuyetti].BITNET lot of ideas.
