MAccS: A Tool for Reachability by Design

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 8997))

Abstract

MAccS is a tool for the modular design of complex IT systems. Component specifications are given in the form of marked acceptance specifications which are acceptance specifications, an extension of modal specifications, enriched with reachability constraints on states. The tool supports the crucial operators for a complete specification theory: satisfaction checking, consistency, refinement, product, quotient and conjunction. These operators can be used to build larger systems by composing or decomposing component specifications while ensuring some reachability properties.

Source code of MAccS, screenshots and more examples are available at http://irit.fr/Guillaume.Verdier.
