We believe that a more rigorous method of specification and validation can be achieved by first developing a specification architecture whose high-level semantics are based on object oriented concepts. This architecture promotes the construc- tion of new functionality in a formal manner using rigorous notions of composition and inheritance. An object oriented approach will also facilitate incremental approaches to val- idation and verification. We present our first steps towards producing such an architecture for the Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), which is specified and validated using a for- mal object oriented language based on LOTOS. The method by which the formal model is derived from the informal un- derstanding of the requirements is examined. Validation based on meta-analysis of the problem structure is elucidated.

    • ...Secondly, the method must offer a means of specifying operational requirements for animation during validation, where it is important to be able to control execution of a subset of system behaviour whilst a simulator controls the other parts in a manner which corresponds to how the system behaves, or should behave, in the real world [12]...
