Abstract:

When developing the specifications of computer system components, it is often necessary or desirable to include non--deterministic behavior into the specification. Unfortunately this non--determinism can cause difficulty when we try to verify properties of the specification. In this paper we present a method for modelling non--determinism in a way that allows the verifier to isolate it from other aspects of the system component.
