Abstract: This paper examines a formal model of how specifications can be constructed from multiple viewpoints and presents some tools to support this approach. The development of specifications is presented as a dialogue in which the viewpoints negotiate, establish responsibilities and cooperatively construct a specification. The model is illustrated by means of some small examples. Keywords: formal specification, distributed artificial intelligence, dialogue, logic, tool support 1 Introduction... (Update)
