Abstract :
Some methods for deriving protocol specifications from given service specifications with time constraints have been proposed. However, existing methods cannot treat the class of service specifications with both parallel synchronization and data values. They also assume that all clocks in the distributed system are synchronized. We propose an algorithm to derive a correct protocol specification automatically from a given service specification described in an extended model of time Petri nets where the above restrictions are eliminated. Using our method, we will be free from considering the details of communication delays on the design of real-time distributed systems
