Main Research Question: How can the SLAM system improve the debugging process of programs?

Methodology: The SLAM system is a specification language that integrates algebraic specifications and model-based specifications using an object-oriented model. It allows users to define class operations with logical pre and postconditions, giving it a functional flavor. The paper focuses on the debugging subsystem of the SLAM system.

Results: The SLAM system generates readable code in a high-level object-oriented language. This code includes assertions that can be automatically checked during the debugging execution of programs. The assertions are complex logical formulae, which are translated into a Prolog program that is linked with the user program. This allows for interactive checking of properties during program execution.

Implications: The SLAM system's debugging subsystem can significantly improve the process of debugging programs. It allows for more effective and efficient debugging by providing a high-level, object-oriented specification language with logical pre and postconditions. Additionally, the automatic generation of code with embedded assertions facilitates the checking of properties during program execution, further enhancing the debugging process.
