Abstract
The first building block is the actual specification formalism used to elaborate the input to algorithm synthesis. An arbitrary choice has been made here to investigate synthesis from incomplete specifications. Starting from the pros and cons of specifi- cations by examples, and of specifications by axioms, as outlined in Part I, we define, in Section 6.1, a specification approach that is based on examples and properties. Then, in Section 6.2, we illustrate this approach on a few sample problems. Future work and related work are discussed in Section 6.3 and Section 6.4, respectively, before drawing some conclusions in Section 6.5.
