Specification and Verification of Dynamic Communication Systems

Bauer, Jörg and Schaefer, Ina and Toben, Tobe and Westphal, Bernd
Dynamic communication systems (DCS) are complex because of their unboundedness in several dimensions. They have an unbounded and changing number of objects, a dynamically changing communication topology and unboundedmessage queues for asynchronous communication. We present a specification language for DCS that captures these features but is still amenable for formal verification. The verification of relevant properties of DCS is demonstrated using a combination of model-checking and abstract interpretation. Our approach is illustrated using the application domain of car platoons.
