Abstract

In recent year, distributed systems have become a mainstream paradigm in industry and how to ensure correctness and reliability is a great challenge for practicing engineers. Therefore, in this paper a formal approach is proposed for modelling and verification of distributed systems, which integrates UML sequence diagram, \(\pi \)-calculus and NuSMV within one framework. Moreover, the practicality of the proposed approach is illuminated though a case study of scheduling road emergency service.
