Refinement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (276 words)
In formal methods, refinement is the verifiable transformation of an abstract (high-level) formal specification into a concrete (low-level) executable program.
Operation refinement converts a specification of an operation on a system into an implementable program (e.g., a procedure).
Retrenchment is an alternative technique when formal refinement is not possible.
Refinement (662 words)
Refinement is thus an additive process, where rules accumulate, each adding specificity in a narrower context.
The opposite of refinement is generalization, in which a weaker set of rules is introduced in a broader context.
Valid refinements are generally limited to the following techniques, that may also be applied in reverse in the course of generalization.
