XVERSA: An integrated graphical and textual toolset for the specification and analysis of resource-bound real-time systems

Abstract

We present XVERSA, a set of tools for the specification and analysis of resource-bound real-time systems. XVERSA facilitates the use of the Algebra of Communicating Shared Resources (ACSR), a real-time process algebra with explicit notions of resources and priority. A text based user interface supports syntax checking, analysis based on equivalence checking, state space exploration, and algebraic rewriting. A graphical user interface allows systems to be described and analyzed using intuitive pictorial representations of ACSR language elements.
