Um compilador para a técnica de descrição formal estelle/83.

Abstract

In this paper we present a compiler, in Prolog, to the formal description (TDF) technique "Extended state transition language (Estelle) ", version of 1383, developed by "International Standards Organization (ISO)." This tool allows the semi-automatic implementation of protocol implementations (specified in Estelle / 83), facilitating its readability and transportability. for the standardization of implementations (of the same protocol) belonging to homogeneous computing environments, as well as for analyzing the behavior of manually developed implementations (provided they are derived from the same specification). The Estelle / 83 compiler can also be used to perform static and dynamic analysis of specifications. Beyond In addition, it can be inserted into user-friendly simulation environments that aim at validation of specifications and / or performance analysis of systems described in Estelle / 83.
