The Unheralded Value of the Multiway Rendezvous: Illustration with the Production Cell Benchmark

Hubert Garavel and Wendelin Serwe

Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Models for Formal Analysis of Real Systems (MARS 2017), Uppsala, Sweden, April 2017

Abstract:

The multiway rendezvous introduced in Theoretical CSP is a powerful paradigm to achieve synchronization and communication among a group of (possibly more than two) processes. We illustrate the advantages of this paradigm on the production cell benchmark, a model of a real metal processing plant, for which we propose a compositional software controller, which is written in LNT and LOTOS, and makes intensive use of the multiway rendezvous.
