Abstract
A software development paradigm known as Transformation-Oriented Programming (TOP) is introduced. In TOP, software development consists of constructing a sequence of transformations capable of systematically constructing a software implementation from a given formal specification. As such TOP falls under the category of formal methods. The general theory and techniques upon which TOP is built is presented. The High Assurance Transformation System (HATS) is described. The use of the HATS tool to implement a portion of the functionality of a classloader needed by the Sandia Secure Processor (SSP) is described.
