PSF/C is a formal specification language, based on COLD, a wide spectrum specification language developed at Philips Research, Eindhoven. In PSF/C, we can specify concurrent communicating processes. The process syntax and semantics is based on the algebraic concurrency language ACP.
PSFd (Process Specification Formalism — Draft) is a Formal Description Technique developed for specifying concurrent systems. PSFd supports the modular construction of specifications and parameterization of modules. As semantics for PSFd a combination of initial algebra semantics and operational semantics for concurrent processes is used. This report is intended to give a brief introduction to the...
A description of a tool to support computer-aided construction of proofs for parallel systems is given. In contrast to the conventional approach based on state space exploration, we use an axiomatic approach. The axioms we use for the construction of proofs, are based on ACP. Besides these standard axioms we also consider tactics for shortening proofs. We use PSF (Process Specification Formalism),...
