Message-ID: <20709@shemp.CS.UCLA.EDU> Date: 17 Feb 89 10:30:41 GMT Sender: news@CS.UCLA.EDU Reply-To: malcolm@CS.UCLA.EDU (Malcolm Lui) Distribution: usa Organization: UCLA Computer Science Department Lines: 27 Thank you for taking the time to read my posting. For my master's thesis I am considering developing a general purpose environment that allows for the development, execution, and verification of system specifications. I was wondering if you had any suggestions as to what features or constructs you would deem necessary in such an environment? Please forgive me for cross-posting to so many newsgroups. My hope is that by posting to several different groups, I will be able to determine what constructs are needed to implement a general-purpose specification language environ- ment. Please e-mail your ideas. I will post a summary of the responses I get. Thanks again for your time and ideas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet: malcolm@cs.ucla.edu UUCP: ...!{trwspp,cepu, uclachem}!ucla-cs!malcolm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
