A TLA+ Formal Specification and Verification of a New Real-Time Communication Protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the formal specification and verification of a new faulttolerant real-time communication protocol, called DoRiS, which is designed for supporting distributed real-time systems that use a shared high-bandwidth medium. Since such a kind of protocol is reasonably complex and requires high levels of confidence on both timing and safety properties, formal methods are useful. Indeed, the design of DoRiS was strongly based on formal methods, where the TLA+ language and its associated model-checker TLC were the supporting design tool. The protocol conception was improved by using information provided by its formal specification and verification. In the end, a precise and highly reliable protocol description is provided.

Web Service Choreography Verification Using Z Formal Specification
Web Service Choreography Description Language (WS-CDL) describes and orchestrates the services interactions among multiple participants. WS-CDL verification is essential since the interactions would lead to mismatches. Existing works verify the messages ordering, the flow of messages, and the expected results from collaborations. In this paper, we present a Z specification of WS-CDL. Besides ve...
متن کاملSpecification and Verification of a Secure Distributed Voting Protocol
The Timed-Buffer Distributed Voting Algorithm (TB-DVA), a secure distributed voting protocol, is introduced and described. A formal specification of the algorithm is developed using Lamport’s specification language TLA+. Then strategies for proving the correctness of the specification using Lamport’s Temporal Logic of Actions (TLA) are discussed.
متن کاملA model for specification, composition and verification of access control policies and its application to web services
Despite significant advances in the access control domain, requirements of new computational environments like web services still raise new challenges. Lack of appropriate method for specification of access control policies (ACPs), composition, verification and analysis of them have all made the access control in the composition of web services a complicated problem. In this paper, a new indepe...

متن کاملSpecifying and Verifying Concurrent C Programs with TLA+
Verifying software systems automatically from their source code rather than modelling them in a dedicated language gives more confidence in establishing their properties. Here we propose a formal specification and verification approach for concurrent C programs directly based on the semantics of C. We define a set of translation rules and implement it in a tool (C2TLA+) that automatically trans...
