The toolset includes facilities for creating and editing Modechart specifications. Users may symbolically execute the specifications with an automatic simulation tool to make sure that the specified behavior is what was intended. They may also invoke a verifier that uses model-checking to determine whether the specifications imply (satisfy) any of a broad class of safety assertions. To illustrate the toolset's capabilities as well as several issues that arise when formal methods are applied to real-world systems, the paper includes specifications and analysis procedures for a software component taken from an actual Naval real-time system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":198313,"journal":{"name":"1993 Proceedings Real-Time Systems Symposium","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131263929","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}

A bandwidth allocation scheme for synchronous messages is developed on top of a media access control protocol that assigns preemptive priority to synchronous traffic over asynchronous traffic. We derive sufficient conditions for schedulability of time critical synchronous messages and show that the scheme achieves high levels of schedulable utilization. A slot access protocol is proposed for synchronous streams that implements the allocation scheme with minimal additional overhead and loss of schedulable utilization. The protocol is distributed in the sense that any node can locally determine if it can use a slot, without exchanging any explicit messages with other nodes.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":198313,"journal":{"name":"1993 Proceedings Real-Time Systems Symposium","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125065477","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}

The basic version of this system of tools supports the validation and evaluation of real-time systems built on the framework of the periodic-task model.
