Object-oriented techniques have reached the majority position among software
development methods. Conversely, formal methods are involved in development
process very sporadic, in spite of the often claimed contributions. This paper
attempts to show practical benefits of employing the combination of both
approaches the formal object-oriented methods. Formal approach is used for
specifying of IEEE 1451.1 standard defined semiformally in the object-oriented
style. A subset of the definitions provided by the standard is rigorously
specified in a novel object-oriented specification language with expressiveness
of higher-order logic. The paper serves as a case study demonstrating advantages
of the specification language rather than an exaustive description of the
architecture provided by the standard.
