EXPERIENCE WITH FORMAL VERIFICATION OF SDL PROTOCOLS
Marius Minea, Cornel Izbaşa, Călin Jebelean · International Journal of Computing · 2014
This paper presents a case study in the application of formal methods to the verification of communication protocols. We analyze one component block of telephone switching software developed in the SDL language at Alcatel Network Systems Romania. We use the IF toolset from VERIMAG Grenoble to build a state-transition model of the system and verify selected properties. We present the steps performed for translation and verification and discuss the potential for automating the process and using it on a larger scale.
