  • Abstract
    Software reliability is becoming increasingly important in todaypsilas information era. Many techniques have been proposed to improve software reliability with varying degrees of success. One important technique in this regard is the so-called formal methods which include formal verification, formal specification, formal analysis, and formal modeling. While these formal methods cover many phases of the software development process, the transformation of software requirement into formal representation is still done by manual labor, which we believe to be a weak link. This paper presents a digestion-based software formal transformation model that eliminates the weak link existing in todaypsilas software formal method approach,and automatically transform natural language-based requirement into formal representation.
