        abstract = {One of the deficiencies of Z tools is that there is limited
support for model checking Z specifications. Building a model checker
directly for a Z specification will take considerable amount of effort and
time due to the abstraction of the language. Translating a Z specification input into a specification in a language that an existing model
checker tool accepts is an alternative method. Researchers at the University of Sheffield implemented a translation tool, which they called
Z2SAL that takes a Z specification and translates it into the input for
Symbolic Analysis Laboratory (SAL), which is a framework for combining different tools for abstraction, program analysis, theorem proving
and model checking. This paper discusses support for model checking Z
specifications, in which the capability of Z2SAL is extended. This support includes a translation of a generic constant and a schema calculus
definition. Instead of translating these aspects of the Z language into
the SAL language as Z2SAL does, a Z specification containing these two
notations will be pre-processed, in which a generic constant definition
is redefined to an equivalent axiomatic definition and a schema calculus
definition is expanded to a new schema definition. As a result of a successful redefinition or expansion, a redefined or expanded Z specification
is generated, otherwise the Z specification input is returned.}
