An approach to verifying concurrent systems-a medical information bus (MIB) case study

An automated method for verifying aspects of the data link communications protocol for the proposed IEEE P1073 Standard for Medical Device Communications is described. This protocol is specified using the formal description technique LOTOS, and the specification and an associated verification are implemented in the Larch Theorem Prover. The advantages of this approach for the design and verification of large and complex systems are discussed.<
