The phrase "a specification technique for" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when describing a method or approach used to define specifications in a particular context, such as software development or engineering.
Example: "The team adopted a specification technique for improving the clarity of project requirements."
Alternatives: "a method for specification" or "an approach to specification".
The principle solution is specified using a newly developed specification technique for the conceptual design of mechatronic and self-optimizing systems.
In this paper, we discuss the restrictions of current specification techniques for embedded real-time systems and present a general time model that solves this issue.
Accordingly, the proposed NuFDS approach is composed of a software design specification technique and a software design analysis technique.
Agendas used to support the application of formal specification techniques provide detailed guidance for specifiers, templates of the used specification language that only need to be instantiated, and application independent validation criteria.
We present a tool which integrates the Unified Modeling Language with a processoriented technique for component system specification and design.
This paper discusses a refinement technique for processing informal specifications expressed in a literal shape, with the aim to generate formal specifications appropriate to automatic processing.
In case such a supervisor does not exist, we present a technique for relaxing the specifications for which a supervisor exists.
π-calculus is a formal modeling technique for precise specification of semantics in interacting concurrent systems where mobility is involved.
The four main ingredients of the methodology are: (1) The inclusion of behaviour specifications in component interfaces, (2) a simple, high-level notation for expressing adaptor specifications, (3) a fully automated procedure to derive concrete adaptors from given high-level specifications, and (4) an effective technique for verifying properties of adaptors.
Although formal specification techniques are very useful in software development, the acquisition of formal specifications is a difficult task.
