Design and Validation of Computer Protocols (Out of print)

AUTHOR Holzmann, Gerard J.
PUBLISHER Prentice Hall (10/11/1990)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)
Description

This volume discusses the fundamental problems of designing logically consistent methods of communication between multiple computer processes. Standard protocol design problems, such as error control and flow control, are covered in detail, but also structured design methods and the construction of formal validation models. The book contains complete listings and explanations of new protocol validation and design tool called SPIN. Author is in charge of protocol design at Bell Labs. Professionals who bought Tanenbaum's COMPUTER NETWORKS, 2/E and Comer's TCP/IP will buy this. This is the first book to cover automated protocol design and validation tools extensively.
