Towards gcm re-configuration - extending specification by norms

  • Chapter
Making Grids Work

Abstract

We continue investigation of formal specification of Grid Component systems by temporal logics and subsequent application of temporal resolution as a verification technique. This time we enrich the specification language by the ability to capture norms which enables us to formally define a concept of a re-configuration. We aim at integrating a software tool for automated specification as well as verification to ensure a reliable and dynamically re-configurable model.
