Abstract
In this paper, a case study concerning specification and development of a concurrent system is presented. The emphasis is on exploring how RAISE may be used to isolate reusable abstraction and provide a basis for separate development. The study comprises four levels of presentation of a gas-burner control system, ranging from a quite abstract applicative specification, to a quite operational, concurrent design.
