Properties of /spl mu/-charts are verified using a theory of chart refinement. By modelling /spl mu/-charts in the language of CSP used here as a semantic metalanguage, chart refinement is reduced to CSP trace refinement, which allows verification to be executed automatically using the model-checker FDR. A detailed verification of a motor vehicle central locking system is used to illustrate this approach. Results so far are promising, with the augmentation of a Statechart-like language with a refinement theory offering a more integrated method of reactive system design.","PeriodicalId":132364,"journal":{"name":"Ninth Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference, 2002.","volume":"86 12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132788969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
