Abstract
A gateway between a packet radio network and B-ISDN is being designed as part of a larger project that aims to bring modem telecommunications services to the Australian Defence Force. The modelling procedure employs Coloured Petri Nets to investigate the gateway architecture and behaviour prior to implementation. Part of the modelling involves the specification of the gateway call control using Coloured Petri Nets and the Design/CPN™ tool. The specification is then checked for correctness by simulation and observation of the Occurrence Graph generated by the Design/CPN™ tool. The form of the refined specification is discussed and future verification tests using the PROTEAN tool outlined
