Abstract
The ability to deal with events explicitely may enhance the expressivity and simplicity of logical specifications. To this purpose, we explore the use of events in the context of DSTL, a logic tailored for the description and verification of distributed systems in a setting based on asynchronous communications. We define an extension that allows the engineer to mix conditions and events in the specification formulae. To validate our approach we formalize a complex coordination pattern where the events play a central role. The pattern describes the rules a set of components must follow to self–organize in a token–ring.
