The Feature model can not be guaranteed the syntactic accuracy of its model and be difficult the validation using automatic tool for its syntax, because this model is expressed by a graphical and informal structure in itself. Therefore, there is a need to formalize and check for the feature model, to precisely define syntax for construct of the model. This paper presents a Z formal specification and a model checking mechanism of the feature model to guarantee the correctness of the model. It first defines the translation rules between feature model and Z, and then converts the syntax of the feature model into the Z schema specification by applying these rules. Finally, the Z schema specification is checked syntax, type, and domain errors using the Z/Eves validation tool to assure the correctness of its specification, With the use of the proposed method, we may express more precisely the construct of the feature model. Moreover the domain analyst are able to usefully verify the errors of the generated feature model.

Recently, many critical control systems are developed using formal methods. When software applied to such systems is developed, the employment of formal methods in the software requirements specification and verification will provide increased assurance for such applications. Earlier error of overlooked requirement specification can be detected using formal specification method. Also the testing and full verification to examine all reachable states using model checking to undertake formal verification are able to be completed. In the comparison of other formal specification methods, we choose the Z formal language for applying to the train control system. Using Z is able to realize higher correctness in the requirement specification, and we propose the Statemate of the best solution in formal verification tools for the system modeling and verification. The Statemate makes it possible to prove thoroughly the system execution from the simple graphical modeling of the complicated train control system. Then we can expect that the model-based formal method combining Z with Statemate will be utilized widely for the railway systems due to various strong points.

Component-based software engineering (CBSE) composes reusable components and develops applications with the components. CBSE is admitted to be a new paradigm that reduces the costs and times to develop software systems. The high quality of component designs can be assured if the consistency and correctness among the elements of a component are verified with formal specifications. Current formal languages for components include only some parts of contracts between interfaces, structural aspects and behavioral aspects of component, component-based system, component composition and variability. Therefore, it is not adequate to use current formal languages in all steps of a component design process. In this paper, we suggest a formal language to specify component designs Component-Z. Component-Z extends Object-Z, adds new notations to specify components. It can be possible to specify interfaces, the inner structure of a component, inner workflows, and workflows among interfaces with Component-Z. In addition, Component-Z provides the notations and semantics to specify variability with variation points, variants and required interfaces. The relation between interfaces and components is defined with mapping schemas. Parallel operator is used to specify component composition. It can be possible to describe deployed components with the specifications of component-based systems. Therefore, the formal specification language proposed in this paper can represent all elements to design components. In the case study, we specify an account management system in a bank so that we show that Component-Z can be used in all steps of component design.

As object-oriented development technology that increases extensibility and reusability has been widely spread, it can shorten development period and enhance quality by reusing verified object-oriented artifacts. Thus we can construct high quality component-based system at short time transforming component-based model using verified object-oriented artifacts. In this paper, we propose techniques to transform available object-oriented design model into component-based model using formal specification techniques in order to increase accuracy of transformation. First, formal specification language for component is defined for formal specification of component-based design. And, techniques for formal specification of object-oriented design using Object-Z, a formal specification language, is proposed in structural, functional, and dynamic aspects. Next, we present techniques for transforming formal specification of object-oriented design into formal specification of component-based design. Through a case study we apply the proposed transformation techniques and show the transformation process of object-oriented formal specification into component-based formal specification.

In remote villages without access to modern IT technology, simple devices such as smartcards can be used to carry out business transactions. These devices typically store multiple business applications from multiple vendors. Although devices must prevent malicious or accidental security breaches among the applications, a secure communication channel between two applications from different vendors is often required. In this paper, first, we propose a method of establishing secure communication channels between applications in embedded operating systems that run on multi-applet smart cards. Second, we enforce the high assurance using an intransitive noninterference security policy. Thirdly, we formalize the method through the Z language and create the formal specification of the proposed secure system. Finally, we verify its correctness using Rushby's unwinding theorem.

접근제어의 목적은 컴퓨팅 자원 및 통신 정보자원 등을 부당한 사용자로부터 사용되거나, 수정, 노출, 파괴와 같은 비합법적인 행위로부터 보호하는데 있다. 대표적인 보안 정책 중에서 Biba 모델은 정보의 무결성을 보장하지만 상업적인 환경에 적용되기는 다소 미흡하며, 역할기반 접근제어 정책은 상업적인 측면의 보안정책에 적용이 가능하지만 접근되는 객체의 중요도에 따른 보안등급이 고려되지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 Biba 모델의 보안등급을 역할기반접근제어 모델에 적용함으로써 주체가 해당 객체를 부당하게 변경하는 것을 방지함과 동시에 수많은 접근권한을 관리하는데 융통성을 제공한다. 그리고 제안한 접근제어 모델의 제약조건들을 정형 명세 언어인 Z언어를 통해 명확히 표현함으로써 정책 입안자나 프로그래머가 접근제어정책을 설계하고 구현하고자 할 때 프로그램 개발에 소요되는 시간을 단축할 수 있다. 또한, 제안한 모델을 망관리 객체의 연산과 등급을 갖는 역할과 제약조건을 사용하여 실제 운영되는 통신망 관리에 적용하여 봄으로써 정보의 무결성이 보장됨을 보였다.

컴포넌트 명세는 컴포넌트와 클라이언트 사이의 계약으로 볼 수 있다. 하지만 현재의 컴포넌트 명세는 인터페이스 명세 언어(Interface Definition Language)와 정확성이 결여된 자연어로 작성된 명세에 의존하고 있다. 이러한 명세는 모호성, 불완전성, 모순등을 포함할 수 있다. 따라서 컴포넌트 명세는 이러한 점을 충분히 고려하여 진행되어야 하는데 본 연구에서는 EJB 컴포넌트의 코드 템플릿을 반영하여 요구사항을 Object-Z로 명세하고 이러한 명세로부터 컴포넌트를 구현하는 단계를 제시하였다.

Companies can identify user groups or consumption trends by collecting and analyzing opinions of many users on special subjects or their products as well as utilize them as various purposes such as predicting some specific trends or marketing strategies. Therefore current analyzing tools of social media have come into use as a means to measure the performances of social media marketing through network's statistical analysis. However these tools require expensive computing and network resources including burden of costs for building up and operating complex software platforms and much operating know-how. Hence, small companies or private business operators have difficulty in utilizing those social media data effectively. This paper proposes a framework applied into developing analysis system of social media. The framework could be set up and operate the system to extract necessary social media's data. Also to design the system, this study suggests a meta-model of proposed framework and to guarantee completeness and consistency, a formal specification of meta-model by using Z language is suggested. Finally, we could verify the clearness of framework's design by performing Z model checking of formal specification's output through Z-EVES tool.
