Meta-IV stands for Metaphor. Dines Bjørner coined it in the very beginning of the Vienna Development Method. The first occurrence of Meta-IV in print was probably the monograph[1]:
Dines Bjørner and C.B. Jones, editors.
The Vienna Development Method: The Meta-Language, volume 61 of Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
Springer-Verlag, 1978.
Since the VDM has become standardized, then one may use Meta-IV for the three specific Schools of the VDM[2] which existed (and to some extent still do) from the 1970's onwards:
- the Danish School — founded by Dines Bjørner
- the British School — founded by Cliff Jones
- the Irish School[3] — founded by Micheal Mac an Airchinnigh
An account of where these different Schools is given in the text "Mathematical Approaches to Software Quality"[4]
VDM Europe
The three Schools were brought under a common organizational structure called VDM Europe[5] which held it first international conference in Brussels, Belgium, March 23-26, 1987.
The second international conference[6] was held in Dublin, Ireland, September 11-16, 1988.
The Danish School
The British School
The Irish School
