Automatically generating C++ programs from LOTOS behavior specifications
Chulhong Kim, Kangho Kim, Cheoljoo Jeong, Young-Bae Oh · 2002
Communication systems can be characterized by high reliability requirements, complexity in development, and distribution of processes and resources. In developing these kinds of systems, formal methods can be fruitful in achieving high quality of resulting systems. LOTOS, a formal specification language, allows us to write models of the system in an abstract but rigorous manner. In this paper, we present a "behavior compiler" that supports rapid prototyping by generating C++ code from LOTOS behavioral specifications. Execution of the generated code allows us to detect analysis and design errors at the early stage of system development life cycle.
