Original Abstract

The presented article suggests a minimal formal language intended as a specification language with object-oriented features. It directly represents formal foundations for basic object-oriented concepts with using of a small amount of language forms. The flexibility of the language provides enought expresiveness to build other concepts of object orientation from the basic ones. The specification language also covers language constructs for description of additional definitions and assumptions on specification in the form of logical formulas. The specifications and assumptions are employed in the proof system that verifies whether specifications are valid under the given assumptions. To cooperation between the specification language and the proof system we suggest an abstract specification framework. The specification language is, from a structural point of view, composed from the language of predicate logic and the language of object calculus.
