  • Abstract
    The VDM++ language, developed in the ESPRIT AFRODITE language as an object-oriented, concurrent and real-time extension of VDM, supports the specification of continuous and hybrid behaviour via the concept of time variables. These variables, which can be either inputs or outputs to a class, may vary continuously over time, and without the execution of any method of the class taking place. They can be constrained and related by differential and integral calculus formulae
