TL;DR: A modeling scheme is presented which provides a medium for the rigorous, formal, and abstract specification of large-scale software system components, and allows the description of component behavior without revealing or requiring thedescription of a component's internal operation.
Abstract: A modelling scheme is presented which provides a medium for the rigorous, formal and abstract specification of large-scale software system components. The scheme allows the description of component behavior without revealing or requiring the description of a component's internal operation. Both collections of sequential processes and the data objects which they share may be described. The scheme is of particular value during the early stages of software system design, when the system's modules are being delineated and their interactions designed, and when rigorous, well-defined specification of undesigned components allows formal and informal arguments concerning the design's correctness to be formulated.

TL;DR: This paper describes the representation used on an actual project, and improvement through the use of case studies such as this one requires explicit analysis, which is presented in the following paper.
Abstract: In on attempt to improve the representation used for software design, this paper describes the representation used on an actual project. Improvement through the use of case studies such as this one requires explicit analysis; this is presented in the following paper, so that the two should be read together.
