چکیده

Describing and reasoning about asynchronous distributed systems is often a difficult and error prone task. In this paper we experiment the Input/Output Automata framework as a tool to describe and reason about cryptographic protocols running in an asynchronous distributed system. We examine a simple certified email protocol [5], give its formalization using the IOA model, and prove that some security properties are satisfied during the execution of the protocol.

An Adaptive Congestion Alleviating Protocol for Healthcare Applications in Wireless Body Sensor Networks: Learning Automata Approach

Wireless Body Sensor Networks (WBSNs) involve a convergence of biosensors, wireless communication and networks technologies. WBSN enables real-time healthcare services to users. Wireless sensors can be used to monitor patients’ physical conditions and transfer real time vital signs to the emergency center or individual doctors. Wireless networks are subject to more packet loss and congestion. T...

Input/Output Automata: Basic, Timed, Hybrid, Probabilistic, Dynamic,

The term Input/Output Automata refers to a family of system modeling frameworks based on interacting infinite-state machines. The models come in several flavors, based on which features (fairness, time, continuous behavior, probability, etc.) they can express. In each of these frameworks, automata can be composed in parallel to form more complex automata, and automata can be related using level...

Proving Safety Properties of an Aircraft Landing Protocol Using I/O Automata and the PVS Theorem Prover: A Case Study

This paper presents an assertional-style verification of the aircraft landing protocol of NASA’s SATS (Small Aircraft Transportation System) concept [1] using the I/O automata framework and the PVS theorem prover. We reconstructed the mathematical model of the landing protocol presented in [2] as an I/O automaton. In addition, we translated the I/O automaton into a corresponding PVS specificati...

Using Interval Petri Nets and Timed Automata for Diagnosis of Discrete Event Systems (DES)

A discrete event system (DES) is a dynamic system that evolves in accordance with the abrupt occurrence, at possibly unknown irregular intervals, of physical events. Because of the special nature of these systems, different tools are currently used for their analysis, design and modeling. The main focus of this paper is the presentation of a new modeling approach of Discrete Event Systems. The ...
