This tackles the issue of maintaining accurate documentation for system developers, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing CASE tool add-ons.

The paper addresses the problem of outdated system documentation, particularly formal specifications, by proposing an automated approach to update documentation by generating new formal specifications from frequently changed models.

One of the common problems of system development projects is that the system documentation is often outdated and does not describe the latest version of the system. The situation is even more complicated if we are speaking not about a natural language description of the system, but about its formal specification. In this paper we discuss how the problem could be solved by updating the documentation automatically, by generating a new formal specification from the model if the model is frequently changed.
