Abstract: This paper is concerned with the application of a formal technique to software engineering. In this case study we have used rule-based refinement of algebraic high-level nets for the requirements engineering of a medical information system. We outline the basic ideas of rule-based refinement and discuss how this technique is applied to the development from actual state analysis to functional essence.
Keywords: Requirements Engineering, Software Engineering, Refinement, Transformations, Algebraic Nets.
