Abstract

A first order inference system, called R-calculus, is defined to develop the specifications. It is used to eliminate the laws which is not consistent with the user's requirements. The R-calculus consists of the structural rules, an axiom, a cut rule, and the rules for logical connectives. Some examples are given to demonstrate the usage of the R-calculus. The properties about reachability and completeness of the R-calculus are formally defined and are proved.
