Abstract
ISpec is an interface specification approach where templates provide slots to write interface requirements. These requirements can be written in various "plugin" formalisms. The practical question how to implement this in a tool is answered for regular expressions as a plug-in language. The requirements expressed by the regular expressions
are used to assess the correctness of requirements expressed in sequence diagrams. In fact, an editor is coupled to the tool in which a plug-in language can be defined and a slot in a template can be linked to a particular language. The theoretical question how to formalise plug-ins in a relation calculus framework is investigated.
