This paper compares the LOTOS and Z reenement relations. The motivation for such a comparison is the use of multiple viewpoints for specifying complex systems deened by the reference model of the Open Distributed Processing (ODP) standardization initiative. The ODP architectural semantics describes the application of formal description techniques (FDTs) to the speciication of ODP systems. Of the available FDTs, Z is likely to be used for at least the information, and possibly other, viewpoints, whilst LOTOS is a strong candidate for use in the computational viewpoint. Mechanisms are clearly needed to support the parallel development, and integration of, viewpoints using these FDTs. We compare the LOTOS bisimulation relations and the reduction relations to the Z reenement relation showing that failure-traces reenement corresponds closely to reenement in Z.
