Abstract

CSP-OZ [16,18] is a combination of Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) and Object-Z (OZ). It enables the specification of systems having both a state-based and a behaviour-oriented view using the object-oriented concepts of classes, instantiation and inheritance. CSP-OZ has a process semantics in the failures divergence model of CSP. In this paper we explain CSP-OZ and investigate the notion of inheritance. Behavioural subtyping relations between classes introduced in [50] guarantee the inheritance of safety and ”liveness” properties.
