Object Orientation in Z
This collection of papers draws together a variety of approaches for adding ob ject orientation to the Z formal specification language. These papers are not a conference proceedings, but have a slightly more complicated his tory. This work has grown and evolved from some work originally done in the ZIP project, under the United Kingdom's Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) IED initiative. ZIP is a three year project which aims to make the use of the Z specification language more widespread. It hopes to achieve this by producing a standard for Zj developing a method for Zj building tool support for Zj and carrying out research into refinement, proof and concurrency in Z. The ZIP methods work includes performing a survey of current Z practitioners (reported in [Barden et al. 1992])j investigating current styles and methods of Z usagej and developing a Z Method handbook (available early in 1993). As part of this work, we carried out a comparative study of the ways in which object orientation has been combined with Z. A summary of that work has been published as [Stepney et al. 1992].

A Tourist Trap Full of Crazy Monkeys . . . and Murder! Sure, Sparky's boss Bookie is a crook, but he's no murderer! Eleven-year-old, plucky amateur super-sleuth Sparky stops at nothing to convince the police that Bookie was framed for the murder at Monkey Island, a ratty tourist trap in downtown Los Angeles, 1932. On this, the worst day of her life, Sparky must also survive going back to school. Forever in trouble, Sparky is forced to "volunteer" for top cop Mug and grumpy Detective Bernie.

Meanwhile, at the Creepy House mansion, Sparky's home, onetime silent movie star Tootsie and her assistant Gilbert, aka the goblin, are in a tizzy preparing for an audition that could revive Tootsie's career. Will Sparky's detecting antics disrupt her guardian's big break? Sparky even considers gravedigging to find clues to help Bookie. . . . But if he's freed from jail, with Prohibition on its way out, will Bookie need to figure out a new line of work? Crime-solving is a lonely business, but thankfully, Sparky has Tootsie's stuffed pet leopards for company. It's all that and a barrel of monkeys in Sparky's next adventure!
Sparky of Bunker Hill and the Cold Kid Case
Lots of characters have it bad, in my Bunker Hill neighborhood smack dab in the middle of Los Angeles, but I've had it rougher than most.There may be something to this 13th business.That's my birthday, and I'm learning to dread seeing it roll around. My mother died on one birthday. The cousins dumped me on my last. This year, 1932, I found a dead kid on a park bench. It's my eleventh birthday, and the day me, Sparky, ended up on the run, wanted for murder. If the dead girl wasn't enough, the dirty newspapers pinned every body in LA on me, and even blamed me for the Great War. I wasn't even born then. The price on my head got bigger by the day. It was up to me to find out who killed the girl and why I got framed, before I ended up dangling from the hangman's rope.
