ASM2Bogor: An approach for verification of models specified through Asmeta language

Nowadays, publish-subscribe (pub-sub) and event-based architecture are frequently used for developing loosely coupled distributed systems. Hence, it is desirable to find a proper solution to specify different systems through these architectures. Abstract state machine (ASM) is a useful means to visually and formally model pub-sub and eventbased architectures. However, modeling per se is not enough since the designers want to be able to verify the designed models. As the model checking is a proper approach to verify software and hardware systems. In this paper, we present an approach to verify ASM models specified in terms of AsmetaL language using Bogor – a well known model checker. In our approach, the AsmetaL specification is automatically encoded to BIR, the input language of the Bogor.
