چکیده

ANISE (Architectural Notions In Service Engineering) can be used to describe a range of telecommunications services, including those from the Intelligent Network. The approach is supported by the ANGEN (ANISE Generator) language for combining features, the ANISE language for defining features, and the ANTEST (ANISE Test) language for defining validation scenarios. It is explained how all three are translated into LOTOS (Language of Temporal Ordering Specification), permitting any number of features to be validated in isolation or in combination. The toolset to permit this and the ANISE feature library are discussed. Typical results are presented from the automated analysis of telecommunications services. RÉSUMÉ. ANISE (Architectural Notions In Service Engineering) est utilisé pour la description d’une gamme variée de services de télécommunication, incluant ceux du Réseau Intelligent. L’approche offre le langage ANGEN (ANISE Generator) pour la combinaison des services, le langage ANISE pour la description des services, et le langage ANTEST (ANISE Test) pour la définition des scénarios de test. L’article explique comment traduire ces trois langages en LOTOS (Language of Temporal Ordering Specification). Ceci permet la validation des services spécifiés, soit individuellement soit combinés les uns aux autres. Les outils impliqués de même que la bibliothèque de services d’ANISE sont décrits. Des résultats typiques provenant de l’analyse automatisée de services de télécommunication sont présentés.

Validating Architectural Feature Descriptions using LOTOS

The phases of the ANISE project (Architectural Notions In Service Engineering) are briefly explained with reference to the work reported here. An outline strategy is given for translating ANISE descriptions to LOTOS (Language of Temporal Ordering Specification), thus providing a formal basis. It is shown how modular ANISE descriptions of features can be defined and then merged. Potential featur...

An Architectural Description of Intelligent Network Features and Their Interactions

A brief explanation is given of the language ANISE (Architectural Notions In Service Engineering) that can be used to describe generic services as well as telecommunications services. The ANISE approach embodies a feature calculus that can be used to structure and analyse services. A description is given of the Plain Old Telephone Service using ANISE. This is extended for a number of typical fe...

Using LOTOS Patterns to Characterize Architectural Styles

We show how the formal description language LOTOS can be used to deene software architectures and how patterns over LOTOS can serve to characterize architectural styles. We characterize styles by giving characteristics of the involved processes, a top-level communication pattern, and constraints that are suucient conditions for a concrete architectural description to be an instance of a given s...

Requirement Capture, Formal Description and Verification of a Business System: the Invoicing Case-Study

The Invoicing case study is a typical business system proposed by Henri Habrias as a common example for a contest on the capacity of particular formal methods to capture requirements from the client. For this, the case study is informally described by half a page of English text. In this report, we use the formal description technique LOTOS for requirement capture, formal description and verifi...

Relating Architecture and Specification

The problems of multiple specification languages for multiple architectures are discussed. It is concluded that an architectural semantics is of practical value in ensuring consistent and effective development of specifications. The approach is discussed in general and by examples, concentrating mainly on an architectural semantics for Open Systems Interconnection in relation to ESTELLE, LOTOS ...
