- CoFI: Common Framework Initiative - - Open collaborative effort to produce a Common Algebraic Specification Language (CASL) as the center of an internationally standardized family of specification languages. Contacts with industry groups.
|
- COMPASS - - Goal: consolidate, integrate theoretical basis of algebraic specification methods and apply it to software. The algebraic approach supports precise specification of semantics of generic reusable system components, providing formal conceptual basis for stepwise, correct development.

- De Stijl - - Design and Specification Through Interfacing and Joining Languages: fits in the framework of formal language engineering, aims at fundamental theoretical results relating features of extant languages for software specification and design, which should be useful to integrate and improve specification and design methods.

- KORSO - - Deduction oriented Development of Specifications: language designed for modularizing large projects. Complex specifications can be hierarchically structured by combining specifications with renaming and hiding. Powerful enough to express implementation of specifications via more primitive specifications.

- ResearchIndex: Proof Theoretic Approach To Specification Languages - - Thesis studies FORUM as specification language. FORUM is a higher order logic based on the logical connectives of Linear Logic. Initial example demonstrates that FORUM is well suited to specify concurrent computations by specifying the higher order ß calculus.
