Abstract:

Abstract. In this paper, we consider the problem of embedding formal notations. In particular, we describe our experiences of automating the embedding of Z specifications into the notations of the PVS and HOL theorem provers. This paper is motivated by our experiences of constructing a prototype tool for embedding formal notations and its use in automating an embedding of Z and AMN into the notations of PVS and HOL. This work has been funded by the EPSRC (grant GR/K83014). 1
