On contracting different behavioral properties in component-based systems
Résumé
Using different specification formalisms together is necessary to leverage better reliability on component-based systems. The ConFract system provides a contracting system for hierarchical software components, but currently, only executable assertions are supported. In this paper, we describe how to integrate other kinds of formalism in ConFract. We propose a domain specific language and integration tools that enable designers to describe the observations needed to appropriately verify their specifications.
