Distributed system specification using CO-OPN

The CO-OPN specification formalism for large concurrent systems is presented. CO-OPN includes specification of data types and concurrency through the use of modular algebraic specification and structured algebraic nets. This structure follows the object oriented paradigms. Distributed system specification is studied with CO-OPN through a case study of communication components: the Transit-Node. The interesting specification features of CO-OPN (structuring, refinements and concurrency) are discussed.<
