Formalizing Dependability Mechanisms in B: From Specification to Development Support
نویسندگان
چکیده
The CA action concept has been proven successful for building dependable distributed systems due to its support for error recovery for both competitive and cooperative concurrent actions. This paper introduces the formal specification of dependability mechanisms offered by CA actions using the B formal method, from which an XML-based language is derived. The resulting language then allows developing dependable systems, where the B formal specification is refined to obtain an implementation of the associated runtime support.

متن کاملThe Development of Dependable and Survivable Grids
Grids should not just be facilitating advances in science and engineering; rather they should also be making an impact on our daily lives by enabling sophisticated applications such as new consumer services and support for homeland defense. This is not possible today because the poor grid dependability—which is tolerated by scientific users—would be unacceptable in critical infrastructure appli...
متن کاملExtracting Functional and Non-functional Contracts from Java Classes and Enterprise Java Beans
We explore possibility of manual and automated contract extraction from Java classes and Enterprise Java Beans. Contracts are extended component interfaces that are defined using Contract Definition Language. They describe functional and non-functional properties. We examine how to extract hidden contracts and express them formally,modeling software components as abstract machines, hoping to ac...
متن کاملIncreasing Software Infrastructure Dependability through a Law Enforcement Approach
Software systems are increasingly becoming distributed, open and ubiquitous assets. While open system components are often autonomous, they behave unpredictably when unforeseen situations arise. Taming this uncertainty is a key issue for dependable open software development. This work proposes a law enforcement approach that uses risk analysis to develop dependable open systems. We present law ...
متن کاملA Methodology for co-design based on a healthcare case study
Systems upon which a high degree of reliance can be asserted form the class of dependable systems. We present here a development method for a subclass of dependable systems, safety-critical control systems. This method supports simultaneous design of both hardware and software in a system where failures would cause significant losses. The method is based on using mathematically solid techniques...
