Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this paper the integration of graphical, semi-formal modeling languages with formal notations for software specification purposes is discussed and a proposal for a procedural frame based on the combined use of UML and Z++ is presented. This procedural frame, organized in stages and steps, provides the methodological basis for a pragmatic and rigorous object-oriented modeling approach aimed at the construction of larger software systems, including real-time systems. Within the proposed frame a regular flow of modeling activities is suggested and alternative modeling scenarios are considered. A brief presentation of the Harmony integrated specification environment, a tool designed to support the proposed approach, is also included in the paper.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
