The research contained in this book represents work on the specification and verification of real-time systems using CSP.
Computing systems are becoming highly complex, harder to understand, and therefore more prone to failure. It is important therefore that we are able to employ mathematical techniques to specify the behaviour of critical safety systems. The research contained in this book represents work on the specification and verification of real-time systems.This book was first published in 1993. Computing systems are becoming highly complex, harder to understand, and therefore more prone to failure. Where such systems control aircraft for example, system failure could have disastrous consequences. It is important therefore that we are able to employ mathematical techniques to specify the behaviour or safety critical systems. This thesis uses the theory of Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) to show how a real-lime system may be specified. Included is a case study in which a local area network protocol is described at two levels of abstraction, and a general method 14 structuring CSP descriptions of layered protocols is given.
"...definitely a large step forward. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the formalization of real-time processes." Martin Rem, Computing Reviews
