Abstract

Projection Temporal Logic (PTL) is a sound formalism for specifying and verifying properties of concurrent systems. The modeling, simulation and verification language MSVL for concurrent systems is an executable subset of PTL. However, asynchronous communication, a key component of modeling distributed system, has not been implemented in MSVL. This paper presents asynchronous communication techniques for MSVL to improve its capability for modeling and verifying distributed systems. First, a process structure is defined; then a channel structure and two pairs of communication commands are formalized; finally, an example of asynchronous communication for the contract signing protocol is demonstrated.
