TRANSFORMING SA/RT GRAPHICAL SPECIFICATIONS INTO CSP+T FORMALISM - Obtaining a formal specification from semi-formal SA/RT essential models

Manuel I. Capel, Juan A. Holgado

2005

Abstract

A correct system specification is systematically obtained from the essential user requirements model by applying a set of rules, which give a formal semantics to the graphical analysis entities of SA/RT. The aim of the systematic procedure is to establish the methodological infrastructure necessary for deriving a complete system specification of a given real-time system in terms of CSP+T processes. A detailed complete solution to the Production Cell problem is discussed, showing how the method can be applied to solve a real-world industrial problem.
