Abstract: | Echoing Louis Pasteur's quote, we submit the premise that it is advantageous to define measures of distance between requirements specifications because such measures open up a wide range of possibilities both in theory and in practice. The authors present a mathematical basis for measuring distances between specifications and show how their measures of distance can be used to address concrete problems that arise in the practice of software engineering |
