Multilevel Contracts for Trusted Components
Mohamed Messabihi, Pascal André, Christian Attiogbé · Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science · 2010
This article contributes to the design and the verification of trusted components and services. The contracts are declined at several levels to cover then different facets, such as component consistency, compatibility or correctness. The article introduces multilevel contracts and a design+verification process for handling and analysing these contracts in component models. The approach is implemented with the COSTO platform that supports the Kmelia component model. A case study illustrates the overall approach.
