Formal Reasoning about Fault Tolerance and Parallelism in Communicating Systems
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper we show how to formalise and extend Lyra -a top-down service-oriented method for development of communicating systems. ...
To achieve this, correctness of software for such systems and system fault tolerance should be ensured. ...
To formalise the Lyra development process, we choose the B Method as our formal framework. The B Method [1] is an approach for the industrial development of highly dependable software. ...
