Extensible Universes for Object-oriented Data Models

by Achim D. Brucker and Burkhart Wolff

Cover for brucker.ea:extensible:2008.We present a datatype package that enables the shallow embedding technique to object-oriented specification and programming languages. The package incrementally compiles an object-oriented data model to a theory containing object-universes, constructors, and accessors functions, coercions between dynamic and static types, characteristic sets, their relations reflecting inheritance, and the necessary class invariants. The package is conservative, i.e., all properties are derived entirely from axiomatic definitions. As an application, we use the package for an object-oriented core-language called IMP++, for which correctness of a Hoare-Logic with respect to an operational semantics is proven.

Keywords: object-oriented data models, HOL, formal methods, UML, OCL
