Verifying the distributed real-time network protocol RTnet using Uppaal
RTnet is a distributed real-time network protocol for fully-connected local area networks with a broadcast capability. It supports streaming real-time and non-realtime traffic and on-the-fly addition and removal of network nodes. This paper presents a formal analysis of RTnet using the model checker Uppaal. Besides normal protocol behaviour, the analysis focuses on the fault-handling properties of RTnet, in particular recovery after packet loss. Both qualitative and quantitative properties are presented, together with the verification results and conclusions about the robustness of RTnet
A Logical Verification Methodology for Service-Oriented Computing
We introduce a logical verification methodology for checking behavioural properties of service-oriented computing systems. Service properties are described by means of SocL, a branching-time temporal logic that we have specifically designed to express in an effective way distinctive aspects of services, such as, e.g., acceptance of a request, provision of a response, and correlation among service requests and responses. Our approach allows service properties to be expressed in such a way that
they can be independent of service domains and specifications. We show an instantiation of our general methodology that uses the formal language COWS to conveniently specify services and the expressly developed software tool CMC to assist the user in the task of verifying SocL formulae over service specifications. We demonstrate feasibility and effectiveness of our methodology by means of the specification and the analysis of a case study in the automotive domain

eIDeCert: a user-centric solution for mobile identification
The necessity to certify one's identity for different purposes and the evolution of mobile technologies have led to the generation of electronic devices such as smart cards, and electronic identities designed to meet daily needs. Nevertheless, these mechanisms have a problem: they don't allow the user to set the scope of the information presented. That problem introduces interesting security and privacy challenges and requires the development of a new tool that supports user-centrity for the information being handled. This article presents eIDeCert, a tool for the management of electronic identities (eIDs) in a mobile environment with a user-centric approach. Taking advantage of existing eCert technology we will be able to solve a real problem. On the other hand, the application takes us to the boundary of what the technology can cope with: we will assess how close we are to the boundary, and we will present an idea of what the next step should be to enable us to reach the goal
A Holistic Approach in Embedded System Development
We present pState, a tool for developing "complex" embedded systems by
integrating validation into the design process. The goal is to reduce
validation time. To this end, qualitative and quantitative properties are
specified in system models expressed as pCharts, an extended version of
hierarchical state machines. These properties are specified in an intuitive way
such that they can be written by engineers who are domain experts, without
needing to be familiar with temporal logic. From the system model, executable
code that preserves the verified properties is generated. The design is
documented on the model and the documentation is passed as comments into the
generated code. On the series of examples we illustrate how models and
properties are specified using pState.Comment: In Proceedings F-IDE 2015, arXiv:1508.0338
