Message Sequence Charts (MSC) have had an unanticipated success, both with SDL, on its own and in conjunction with other methods and tools. Major tool vendors now offer both SDL and MSC in their tool set. This timely volume reports on the recent developments in this expanding field. Several papers deal with language issues, tools and methods for effective use of MSC. Advances in "SDL technology" are discussed, and several papers deal with the early stages of product development and how SDL may be complemented by other methods, such as OMT, to improve problem understanding and make better SDL designs. New developments in the areas of tools for verification, validation and testing are also included, together with a large number of papers on applications.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on the Unified Modeling Language, UML'99, held in Fort Collins, CO, USA in September 1999. The 44 revised full papers presented together with two invited contributions and three panel summaries were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 166 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on software architecture, UML and other notations, formalizing interactions, meta modeling, tools, components, UML extension mechanisms, process modeling, real-time systems, constraint languages, analyzing UML models, precise behavioral modeling, applying UML sequence design, and coding.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International SDL Forum, SDL 2007, held in Paris, France. The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on model driven engineering, testing, language extensions, implementation and modeling experience and extensions—-addressing all aspects of systems design and system design languages.
This book constitutes the throughly refereed post-proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Systems Analysis and Modeling, SAM 2010, held in collocation with MODELS 2010 in Oslo, Norway in October 2010. The 15 revised full papers presented went through two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in topical sections on modularity, composition, choreography, application of SDL and UML; SDL language profiles; code generation and model transformations; verification and analysis; and user requirements notification.
Formal methods are coming of age. Mathematical techniques and tools are now regarded as an important part of the development process in a wide range of industrial and governmental organisations. A transfer of technology into the mainstream of systems development is slowly, but surely, taking place. FM’99, the First World Congress on Formal Methods in the Development of Computing Systems, is a result, and a measure, of this new-found maturity. It brings an impressive array of industrial and applications-oriented papers that show how formal methods have been used to tackle real problems. These proceedings are a record of the technical symposium ofFM’99:alo- side the papers describingapplic...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International SDL Forum, SDL 2003, held in Stuttgart, Germany in July 2003. The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on performance, evolution, development, modeling, timing, validation, design, and application. Thus all aspects of systems design and system design languages are addressed.
As Cavalli and Sarma astutely remarked in the introduction to this volume, it is quite remarkable that SDL '97 may have the first participant younger than SDL itself. SDL '97 provides the opportunity to reflect the course SDL has taken and why it has been successful over two decades where other languages addressing the same market have failed. SDL now also has a permanent companion in MSC (Message Sequence Charts). MSC today is a language in its own right and has its areas of application both in conjunction with SDL and independently or in combination with other techniques. MSC has strong structuring concepts to specify message sequences for large systems and can be used to develop scenarios, which is extremely useful for test and design environments. The SDL Forum today really is the SDL and MSC Forum.
This volume contains the papers presented at the 12th SDL Forum, Grimstad, Norway. The SDL Forum was ?rst held in 1982, and then every two years from 1985. Initially the Forum was concerned only with the Speci?cation and Description Language that was ?rst standardized in the 1976 Orange Book of the Inter- tional Telecommunication Union (ITU). Since then, many developments took place and the language has undergone several changes. However, the main underlying paradigm has survived, and it is the reason for the success of the Speci?cation and Description Language in many projects. This paradigm is based on the following important principles of distributed - plications: Communication: large sys...
This book gives a Petri net based solution to the challenge of simulation, analysis and verification of parallel programs. The presented formal definition of compositional high-level Petri net semantics for B(PN)2 (Basic Petri Net Programming Notation) programs and SDL (Specification Description Language) systems allows the correct and efficient translation of also recursive procedures (in B(PN)2 and SDL) and processes with dynamic creation and termination (in SDL) into high-level Petri nets. All related issues are covered: 1. The algebra of M-nets is extended 2. References relating parts of the programs with parts of the resulting nets are introduced 3. Its implementation in the PEP tool is described 4. Examples (including verification) are given 5. An extension to hybrid systems is shown
