Abstract

The Vienna Development Method (VDM) is based upon iterative refinement of formal specifications written in the model-oriented specification language, Meta-IV. VDM is also an informal collection of experiences in formal specification within several application domains. This paper provides an example of how VDM might be used in the area of communications, a new domain for VDM.
