Tool support for CSP-CASL. / Andy Gimblett

Swansea University Author: Andy Gimblett

Abstract

This work presents the design of the specification language CSP-CASL, and the design and implementation of parsing and static analysis tools for that language. CSP-CASL is an extension of the algebraic specification language CASL, adding support for the specification of reactive systems in the style...
