Study on Formal Information Fusion Framework with Object-oriented Technology

The formal approach to software development is considered to be a good way to develop reliable and high quality software and a graphical tool using object-oriented technology has strong intuitive in the description of software requirements. In this study, a new formal information fusion framework is presented based on formal approach and object-oriented thoughts. The information fusion model in the proposed framework consists of two parts: specification library and specification library management system. Herein, the first part enhances system reliability, consistency and reusability. As to the management system, its function is to organize, manage, store, search and insert for specification library. Lastly, the study introduces how to use the framework to detect image edge.
