The Vienna Development Method (VDM) is one of the longest-established formal methods for the development of computer-based systems. Originating in work done at the IBM Laboratory Vienna [ 1 ] in the 1970s, it has grown to include a group of techniques and tools based on a formal specification language—the VDM Specification Language (VDM-SL).

After downloading the installation file, SetupVDM.exe, and ensuring that you have the VDM license file, LICENSE.VDL, ready, the installation process for Virtual Display Manager (VDM) is straightforward and efficient.

The Vienna Development Method (VDM) is a set of formal methods for developing computer systems. It originates in the IBM Vienna laboratory in the 1970s. ¶ Relationship to VDL. The VDM was developed from previous work on the Vienna Definition Language. Its relationship to it is explained in [Jones 2001]. ¶ See also. Vienna Definition Language ...

The paper discusses the evolution of the Vienna Development Method (VDM) from the earlier Vienna Definition Language (VDL), highlighting the shift from denotational to operational semantics.

Aug 10, 2017 · VDM employs postconditions to stipulate the effect of the operation on the state. The postcondition specifies the new state using a predicate that relates the prestate to the poststate. VDM is both a specification language and a development method.

The Vienna Development Method (VDM) is a collection of techniques for the modeling, speci cation and design of computer-based systems [5, page 454]. VDM has its roots in the IBM laboratories in Vienna in the mid-1970s.

Key Words: formal methods, language definition, VDL, VDM, operational semantics, denotational semantics. The so-called "Vienna Development Method" (VDM) 1 evolved ­ at the IBM Laboratory in Vienna ­ from the earlier work known as the "Vienna Definition Language" (VDL).

Aug 28, 2001 · This paper describes (one person's view of) how the Vienna Development Method grew out of the earlier work on the Vienna Definition Language. Both of these activities were undertaken at the IBM Laboratory Vienna during the 1960s and 70s.

Jan 1, 2001 · This paper sets out a personal view of some of the key technical decisions which characterize the Vienna Development Method. VDM is generally believed to stand for ViennaDevelopment Method.
