A new approach for distributing Estelle specifications

E. Lallet, S. Fischer, J.-F. Verdier

Abstract

Deriving distributed prototypes and implementations from formal specifications is one of the most important aspects of an implementation-oriented language like Estelle. Some tools already exist allowing the generation of distributed programs to be executed on a computer network. All these tools follow the same approach: code in a programming language is directly generated from the specification, compiled and linked with some communication libraries. In this paper, we propose a different approach consisting of first splitting up the specification into as many specifications as there were subsystems in the initial specification. The programming language code will then be generated from all these generated specifications. We show the advantages of this approach. The new method is being integrated into the Estelle Development Toolset. Runtime measurements and comparisons with another Estelle code generator, Pet/Dingo, show its usefulness.
