LOTOSphere: Software Development with LOTOS
LOTOS (Language Of Temporal Ordering Specification) became an international standard in 1989, although application of preliminary versions of the language to communication services and protocols of the ISO/OSI family dates back to 1984. This history of the use of LOTOS made it apparent that more advantages than the pure production of standard reference documents were to be expected from the use of such formal description techniques. LOTOSphere: Software Development with LOTOS describes in depth a five year project that moved LOTOS out of the ISO tower into software engineering practice. LOTOS became a vehicle for efficient, yet formally based industrial software specification, design, verifi...
Cooperative Information Agents III
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Cooperative Information Systems, CIA'99, held in Uppsala, Sweden in July/August 1999. The 16 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 46 submissions. Also included are ten invited contributions by leading experts. The volume is divided in sections on information discovery and management on the Internet; information agents on the Internet-prototypes systems and applications; communication and collaboration, mobile information agents; rational information agents for electronic business; service mediation and negotiation; and adaptive personal assistance.
Model-Based Testing of Reactive Systems
Testing is the primary hardware and software verification technique used by industry today. Usually, it is ad hoc, error prone, and very expensive. In recent years, however, many attempts have been made to develop more sophisticated formal testing methods. This coherent book provides an in-depth assessment of this emerging field, focusing on formal testing of reactive systems. This book is based on a seminar held in Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, in January 2004. It presents 19 carefully reviewed and revised lectures given at the seminar in a well-balanced way ensuring competent complementary coverage of all relevant aspects. An appendix provides a glossary for model-based testing and basics on finite state machines and on labelled transition systems. The lectures are presented in topical sections on testing of finite state machines, testing of labelled transition systems, model-based test case generation, tools and case studies, standardized test notation and execution architectures, and beyond testing.
Protocol Test Systems
This book presents the latest research results in protocol testing. It contains the complete proceedings of the seventh IFIP WG6.1 International Workshop on Protocol Test Systems (IWPTS '94), organized by the International Federation for Information Processing and held in Tokyo, Japan in November 1994. The book presents an alliance between research and industry and between the theory and practice of testing of data communication systems.
Formal Description Techniques
Software tools - papers. Software tools - demonstrations. Object-oriented design with FDTs. Language issues arising practical use. Theoretical aspects of analysis. Experience in writing formal descriptions. Practical aspects of analysis.
Formal Description Techniques, IV
Formality is becoming accepted as essential in the development of complex systems such as multi-layer communications protocols and distributed systems. Formality is mandatory for mathematical verification, a procedure being imposed on safety-critical system development. Standard documents are also becoming increasingly formalised in order to capture notions precisely and unambiguously. This FORTE '91 proceedings volume has focussed on the standardised languages SDL, Estelle and LOTOS while, as with earlier conferences, remaining open to other notations and techniques, thus encouraging the continuous evolution of formal techniques. This useful volume contains 29 submitted papers, three invited papers, four industry reports, and four tool reports organised to correspond with the conference sessions.
Protocol Test Systems
With the widespread use of open systems, more and more attention is being devoted to methods and tools for testing correct interworking in a heterogeneous environment. Many technical solutions have been developed by researchers from academia, PTTs and industrial laboratories. These solutions have formed the basis for a standardized framework for OSI conformance testing. Existing techniques are being applied to practical testing. This in turn provides feedback and new ideas. Also there are many equally important political aspects in the testing area. The goal of the 2nd International workshop on Protocol Test Systems (IWPTS) 1989 was to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss important issues in the area of protocol testing, review the state of the art and argue about trends and directions for the future.
Protocol Specification, Testing, and Verification, XI
This book contains original contributions on theory, applications and experiences from the use of advanced techniques applied to distributed systems. The emphasis is on services and protocols. Specific areas addressed include: Specification languages and models, Formal specification, Testing and certification, Implementation and Environments and automated tools. In addition to these more traditional topics, contributions are included on: bull;Specification, testing and verification of real-time properties; bull;Novel methods for formal specification of realistic services; bull;Automated and semi-automated analysis of non-finite-state systems; bull;Design and implementation by stepwise refinement and bull;Applications of the above to new generations of high-speed networks, multi-media services and distributed environments for computer supported cooperative work.
The Formal Description Technique Lotos
The SEDOS (Software Environment for the Design of Open Distributed Systems) project was supported by the Commission of the European Communities under the ESPRIT Programme. It was divided into two main tasks, related respectively to the two ISO formal description techniques Estelle and LOTOS, which became international standards in September 1988. This book presents the work related to LOTOS. It includes a tutorial on LOTOS, a number of specifications, in particular a specification of the OSI session layer. Results in verification theory and descriptions of supporting software tools are given.
