Abstract

We describe DynAlloy Analyzer, a tool that extends Alloy Analyzer with support for dynamic elements in Alloy models. The tool builds upon Alloy Analyzer in a way that makes it fully compatible with Alloy models, and extends their syntax with a particular idiom, inspired in dynamic logic, for the description of dynamic behaviours, understood as sequences of states over standard Alloy models, in terms of programs. The syntax is broad enough to accommodate abstract dynamic behaviours, e.g., using nondeterministic choice and finite unbounded iteration, as well as more concrete ones, using standard sequential programming constructions. The analysis of DynAlloy models resorts to the analysis of Alloy models, through an optimized translation that often makes the analysis more efficient than that of typical ad-hoc constructions to capture dynamism in Alloy.

DynAlloy分析仪:用于规范和分析具有动态行为的合金模型的工具

我们描述了DynAlloy Analyzer，这是一个扩展Alloy Analyzer的工具，支持Alloy模型中的动态元素。该工具建立在Alloy Analyzer的基础上，使其与Alloy模型完全兼容，并使用受动态逻辑启发的特定习语扩展了它们的语法，用于描述动态行为，就程序而言，被理解为标准Alloy模型上的状态序列。语法足够广泛，可以容纳抽象的动态行为，例如，使用不确定性选择和有限无界迭代，以及使用标准顺序编程结构的更具体的行为。DynAlloy模型的分析诉诸于Alloy模型的分析，通过优化的转换，通常使分析比典型的特设结构更有效，以捕获Alloy中的动态。工具截屏，二进制文件和更多细节可在:http://dc.exa.unrc.edu.ar/tools/dynalloy
