Abstract:

A correctness-preserving transformation is proposed for functionality decomposition of Basic LOTOS expressions with generalised termination, enabling and disabling. Given a specification of the required external behaviour, i.e. the expected service of a distributed system, and a partitioning of the specified actions among the system components, the transformation derives behaviour of individual system components implementing the service. There may be an arbitrary finite number of system components pairwise communicating over auxiliary LOTOS gates.

This presentation has been given during the COST-247 International Workshop on Applied Formal Methods in System Design (Maribor, Slovenia, June 17--19, 1996).
