'''rCOS''' isstands a relational semantic model andfor refinement calculusof for [[Object (philosophy)|object-oriented]] and [[Software component|component-based]] software developmentsystems. It wasis originally developed bya [[Heformal Jifengmethod]], [[Zhiming Liu]] andproviding [[Xiaoshan Licomponent-based]] at [[UNUmodel-IISTdriven software]]. It supports both state-based and event-based modeling and analysis [[software development]].

==ReferencesOverview==

rCOS was originally developed by [[He Jifeng]], [[Zhiming Liu (computer scientist)|Zhiming Liu]] and Xiaoshan Li at [[UNU-IIST]] in [[Macau]], and consists of a unified multi-view modeling notation with a theory of relational semantic and graph-based [[operational semantics]], a [[refinement calculus]] and tool support for model construction, model analysis and verification, and [[model transformation]]s. Model transformations automate refinement rules and design patterns and generate conditions as proof obligations. rCOS support multiple dimensional modeling: models at different levels of abstraction related by refinement relations, hierarchy of compositions of components, and models of different views of the system ([[interaction protocol]]s of components, reactive behaviors of components, data functionality, and class structures and data types). Components are composed and integrated based on their models of interfaces to support third party composition.<ref>{{cite web |url=//rcos.iist.unu.edu/ |title=rCOS |work=[[UNU-IIST]] |date=2013 |accessdate=22 April 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131113133741/http://rcos.iist.unu.edu/ |archivedate=November 13, 2013 }}</ref>
