Abstract:

Major steps of the design of distributed applications correspond to the integration of predefined patterns. To support such design steps, a concept for refinement by pattern composition is introduced which applies formal process composition and provides functions for the tool assisted construction and modification of specifications. The approach is based on L. Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions TLA and the related theory of refinement mappings and system composition.
