Abstract
In order to use net models for communication protocol verification, a method intended for automatic translation of Estelle protocol specifications in coloured Petri nets is proposed. A tool for simulation and analysis of the net models is outlined. For explanation of the method the Stenning protocol is used.
This work is supported by Russian Basic Research Fund (Project 93-01-00986) and Intern. Association for the Promotion of Cooperation with Scientists from the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (INTAS) under contract 1010-CT93-0048.
