A Process Algebra Software Engineering Environment
نویسنده
چکیده
In previous work we described how the process algebra based language PSF can be used in software engineering, using the ToolBus, a coordination architecture also based on process algebra, as implementation model. In this article we summarize that work and describe the software development process more formally by presenting the tools we use in this process in a CASE setting, leading to the PSF-ToolBus software engineering environment. We generalize the refine step in this environment towards a process algebra based software engineering workbench of which several instances can be combined to form an environment. Ke ywords: process algebra, software engineering, software architecture, workbench, environment

متن کاملSoftware (Re-)Engineering with PSF III: an IDE for PSF
We describe the design of an integrated development environment (IDE) for PSF. In the software engineering process we used process algebra in the form of PSF for the specification of the architecture of the IDE. This specification is refined to a PSF specification of the IDE system as a ToolBus application, by applying vertical and horizontal implementation techniques. We implemented the variou...
متن کاملSoftware (Re-)Engineering with PSF
This paper investigates the usefulness of PSF in software engineering and reengineering. PSF is based on ACP (Algebra of Communicating Processes) and as some architectural description languages are based on process algebra, we investigate whether PSF can be used at the software architecture level, but we also use PSF at lower abstract levels. As a case study we reengineer the compiler from the ...
متن کاملThe Real-Time Process Algebra (RTPA)
The real-time process algebra (RTPA) is a set of new mathematical notations for formally describing system architectures, and static and dynamic behaviors. It is recognized that the specification of software behaviors is a three-dimensional problem known as: (i) mathematical operations, (ii) event/process timing, and (iii) memory manipulations. Conventional formal methods in software engineerin...
متن کاملEvaluating Adaptability of Software Systems Based on Algebraic Equivalency
Adaptability evaluation of software systems is one of the key concerns in both software engineering and requirements engineering. In this paper, we present a formal and systematic approach to evaluate adaptability of software systems to requirements in enterprise business applications. Our approach consists of three major parts, that is, the common modeling method for both business realms and s...
