With contributions from authors who are experts in their respective fields, this will provide the reader with the state of the art in formal verification of real-time systems and an overview of available software tools.

Download or read book Formal Methods for Distributed Processing written by Howard Bowman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-10-22 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 2002, this book presents techniques in the application of formal methods to object-based distributed systems. A major theme of the book is how to formally handle the requirements arising from OO distributed systems, such as dynamic reconfiguration, encapsulation, subtyping, inheritance, and real-time aspects. These may be supported either by enhancing existing notations, such as UML, LOTOS, SDL and Z, or by defining fresh notations, such as Actors, Pi-calculus and Ambients. The major specification notations and modelling techniques are introduced and compared by leading researchers. The book also includes a description of approaches to the specification of non-functional requirements, and a discussion of security issues. Researchers and practitioners in software design, object-oriented computing, distributed systems, and telecommunications systems will gain an appreciation of the relationships between the major areas of concerns and learn how the use of object-oriented based formal methods provides workable solutions.

Download or read book Lectures on Formal Methods and Performance Analysis written by Ed Brinksma and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-06-29 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, models and methods for the analysis of the functional correctness of reactive systems, and those for the analysis of their performance (and - pendability) aspects, have been studied by di?erent research communities. This has resulted in the development of successful, but distinct and largely unrelated modeling and analysis techniques for both domains. In many modern systems, however, the di?erence between their functional features and their performance properties has become blurred, as relevant functionalities become inextricably linked to performance aspects, e.g. isochronous data transfer for live video tra- mission. During the last decade, this trend has motivated an increased interest in c- bining insights and results from the ?eld of formal methods – traditionally - cused on functionality – with techniques for performance modeling and analysis. Prominent examples of this cross-fertilization are extensions of process algebra and Petri nets that allow for the automatic generation of performance models, the use of formal proof techniques to assess the correctness of randomized - gorithms, and extensions of model checking techniques to analyze performance requirements automatically. We believe that these developments markthe - ginning of a new paradigm for the modeling and analysis of systems in which qualitative and quantitative aspects are studied from an integrated perspective. We are convinced that the further worktowards the realization of this goal will be a growing source of inspiration and progress for both communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FORTE 2001, formerly FORTE/PSTV conference, is a combined conference of FORTE (Formal Description Techniques for Distributed Systems and Communication Protocols) and PSTV (Protocol Specification, Testing and Verification) conferences. This year the conference has a new name FORTE (Formal Techniques for Networked and Distributed Systems). The previous FORTE began in 1989 and the PSTV conference in 1981. Therefore the new FORTE conference actually has a long history of 21 years. The purpose of this conference is to introduce theories and formal techniques applicable to various engineering stages of networked and distributed systems and to share applications and experiences of them. This FORTE 2001 conference proceedings contains 24 refereed papers and 4 invited papers on the subjects. We regret that many good papers submitted could not be published in this volume due to the lack of space. FORTE 2001 was organized under the auspices of IFIP WG 6.1 by Information and Communications University of Korea. It was financially supported by Ministry of Information and Communication of Korea. We would like to thank every author who submitted a paper to FORTE 2001 and thank the reviewers who generously spent their time on reviewing. Special thanks are due to the reviewers who kindly conducted additional reviews for rigorous review process within a very short time frame. We would like to thank Prof. Guy Leduc, the chairman of IFIP WG 6.1, who made valuable suggestions and shared his experiences for conference organization.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the current economic climate, many, if not all, industries depend upon computer systems for their product, design and manufacturing processes and for routine business functions. Although the use of such systems brings many advantages, the consequences of failure (including physical failure of computer systems, software design faults and human error) can involve both loss of life and environmental damage. safeguards and subsequent accountability. Research funds are accordingly being generated by governments and leading industries, affording the development of safety-critical systems by multi-disciplinary teams of mechanical, structural, electronic and software engineers and, where appropriate, psychologists, sociologists and economists. A new book series Real-Time Safety Critical Systems has been launched as a forum to enable all relevant researchers and developers (from industry and academia world-wide) to report their findings in the field. This publication is the first in the series and concentrates on presenting a framework for specification and analysis of real-time and reliability in distributed systems. The framework consists of a language for modelling the behaviour of distributed systems, a logic for formulating system properties, and an algorithm for verifying that descriptions in the language satisfy formulas expressed in the logic. is also accessible to readers with only a basic knowledge of formal modelling. Indeed, as Willem-Paul de Roever says in his introduction to the publication, it ... constitutes an indispensable link in the education of our next generation of researchers ... [and] ... gives a clear and scientifically responsible description how real-time and probability can be added to process algebra, how to extend Emerson and Clarke's branching time temporal logic to these new features, and how to verify the properties thus expressed by an appropriate tool

Download or read book Formal Methods for the Design of Real Time Systems written by Marco Bernardo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-12-07 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large class of computing systems can be specified and verified by abstracting away from the temporal aspects of their behavior. In real-time systems,instead, time issues become essential. Their correctness depends not only on which functions they can perform, but also on the action execution time. Due to their importance and design challenges, real-time systems have attracted the attention of a considerable number of computer scientists and engineers from various research areas. This volume collects a set of papers accompanying the lectures of the fourth edition of the International School on Formal Methods for the Design of Computer, Communication and Software Systems (SFM). The school addressed the use of formal methods in computer science as a prominent approach to the r- orous design of computer, communication and software systems. The main aim of the SFM series is to o?er a good spectrum of current research in foundations as well as applications of formal methods, which can be of help for graduate students and young researchers who intend to approach the field. SFM-04:RT was devoted to real-time systems. It covered formal models and languages for the specification,modeling,analysis,and verification of the seti- critical systems, the expressiveness of such models and languages, as well as supporting tools and related applications in different domains.
