Abstract

Due to the unique requirements of a series of projects to specify communications architectures using graphical representations (Cara and MFD), we have developed the communications-oriented rule-based language Carla (Cara Rule Language), which provides an executable specification of the architecture being developed. Carla is designed to provide the ability to specify and simulate high-level, possibly incomplete, specifications of communications architectures, and to allow the developer to refine the specification through the addition of behavior-describing rules. Carla is also well-suited to creating black-box specifications of any system whose behavior depends on input/output history. We describe the features of the language, discuss various design issues, and provide examples of various communications protocols specified in Carla.

Carla:一种用于指定通信架构的规则语言
由于使用图形表示(Cara和MFD)指定通信体系结构的一系列项目的独特需求,我们开发了面向通信的基于规则的语言Carla (Cara规则语言),它提供了正在开发的体系结构的可执行规范。Carla旨在提供指定和模拟通信体系结构的高级(可能不完整的)规范的能力,并允许开发人员通过添加行为描述规则来改进规范。Carla还非常适合为任何行为依赖于输入/输出历史的系统创建黑盒规范。我们描述了该语言的特性,讨论了各种设计问题,并提供了Carla中指定的各种通信协议的示例。
