基于Z的协议形式描述与验证

Protocol Specification and Verification Based on Z

一、引言在过去的十年.计算机网络与分布式系统已取得了很大的进展[6j。步入九十年代,各种新型通信技术和分布式应用已相继出现.并已对计算机通信软件发生了重要影响。这些新技术及应用主要包括高速光纤网、多媒体通信、宽带综合业务数字网(B一IsDN)、智能网络技术.如智能服务器、智能路由选择、智能协议开发环境等.以及综合语音、数据、图文和图象服务等等。为了适应这种形势的发展一门新兴的学科一协议工程已应运而生川。

This paper has made the study on protocol and verification in Z. It first describes main features of Z notation. Taking a simplified transport protocol as an example.it then details a specification of the protocol and discusses the verification of safety and liveness properties,which is based on Z. Finally,some conclusions are given.
