Specification of a Communication Protocol in Graphical Interval Logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a graphical interval logic for specifying and reasoning about computer systems and communication protocols, and demonstrate its use with a speciication of the sliding window protocol. Existing temporal logics have found little practical application because of the diiculty software engineers have in understanding and using them. Graphical interval logic has an intuitive graphical representation, and is intended to encourage software and protocol designers to use the methods of formal logic to specify and reason about temporal properties.

A Timed Graphical Interval Logic
We define a graphical language for expressing timed requirements on concurrent systems. This formal language, called Timed Graphical Interval Logic (TGIL), is inspired by realtime extensions of Dillon’s et al Graphical Interval Logic and can be used as an alternative to timed extensions of temporal logic. We define the semantics of TGIL as a set of timed traces—using a dense time semantics—and ...
متن کاملDiagrammatic Verification of Security Protocols
The Actor Specification Diagram Language is a rigorously defined graphical specification language, with features for modelling concurrency and asynchronous communication. These features make the language appropriate for the formal analysis of distributed security protocols. The graphical nature of the language makes protocol descriptions easy to read and understand, vital properties for appeal ...
متن کاملA graphical environment for the facilitation of logic-based security protocol analysis
The development of cryptographic logics to analyze security protocols has provided one technique for ensuring the correctness of security protocols. However, it is commonly acknowledged that analysis using a modal logic such as GNY tends to be inaccessible and obscure for the uninitiated. In this paper we describe a graphical tree-based specification environment which can be used to easily cons...
متن کاملTwo Environments which Facilitate Security Protocol Modelling and Analysis
The development of security protocols is often a tedious and error prone process. The graphical specification environment for protocol design and construction proposed in this paper helps one to cope with this complexity by enabling the visualization of hierarchical message structures and providing suitable abstraction and encapsulation so that designers can retain a high-level perspective whil...
متن کاملNew Applications on Linguistic Mathematical Structures and Stability Analysis of Linguistic Fuzzy Models
In this paper some algebraic structures for linguistic fuzzy models are defined for the first time. By definition linguistic fuzzy norm, stability of these systems can be considered. Two methods (normed-based & graphical-based) for stability analysis of linguist fuzzy systems will be presented. At the follow a new simple method for linguistic fuzzy numbers calculations is defined. At the end tw...
