Abstract

In recent years the necessity to handle different aspectsof the system separately has introduced the need to representSA from different viewpoints. In particular, behavioralviews are recognized to be one of the most attractive featurein the SA description and in practical contexts, statediagrams and scenarios are the most used tools to modelthis view. Although very expressive this approach has twodrawbacks: system specification incompleteness and viewconsistency.Our work can be put in this context with the aim to manageincompleteness and to check views conformance: wesuppose to have state diagrams and scenarios models representingthe system dynamics at the architectural level;they can be incomplete and we want to prove that they describe,from different viewpoints, the same system behavior.To reach this goal, we are using the SPIN model checkerand we are implementing a tool to manage the translationof architectural models in Promela and LTL.
