Implementing CCS in Maude
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore the features of rewriting logic and the language Maude as a logical and semantic framework for representing both the semantics of CCS, and a modal logic for describing local capabilities of CCS processes. Although a rewriting logic representation of the CCS semantics was given previously, it cannot be directly executed in the default interpreter of Maude. Moreover, it cannot be used to answer questions such as which are the successors of a process after performing an action, which is used to define the semantics of the modal logic. Basically, the problems are the existence of new variables in the righthand side of the rewrite rules and the nondeterministic application of the semantic rules, inherent to CCS. We show how these problems can be solved by exploiting the reflective properties of rewriting logic, which allow controlling the rewriting process. This executable specification plus the reflective control of the rewriting process can be used to analyze CCS processes.

Executable structural operational semantics in Maude
This paper describes in detail how to bridge the gap between theory and practice when implementing in Maude structural operational semantics described in rewriting logic, where transitions become rewrites and inference rules become conditional rewrite rules with rewrites in the conditions, as made possible by the new features in Maude 2. We validate this technique using it in several case studi...
متن کاملSpecification and Verification of Synchronizing Concurrent Objects
We introduce a new specification formalism which we call hiddenCCS; hidden algebra is used to specify local goals as objects, and CCS is used to describe global goal of the synchronizing concurrent objects. We extend the object specification with synchronization elements associated with methods of different objects, and we use a CCS coordinating module to describe the interaction patterns of me...
متن کاملOn Formalisms for Dynamic Reconfiguration of Dependable Systems
Three formalisms of different kinds – VDM, Maude, and basic CCS – are evaluated for their suitability for the modelling and verification of dynamic software reconfiguration using as a case study the dynamic reconfiguration of a simple office workflow for order processing. The research is ongoing, and initial results are reported.
متن کاملStrategies and simulations in a semantic framework
By means of several examples of structural operational semantics for a variety of languages, we justify the importance and interest of using the notions of strategies and simulations in the semantic framework provided by rewriting logic and implemented in the Maude metalanguage. On the one hand, we describe a basic strategy language for Maude and show its application to CCS, the ambient calculu...
