Abstract

Verification of requirement specifications is an important stage of the software development process. Detection of inconsistency and incompleteness of requirement specifications, as well as discovering of wrong decisions at early stages of the design process decreases the cost of software quality. An approach to requirement verification has been considered in the papers [5-8]. The language of basic protocols is used there for specification of distributed concurrent systems and formalizing requirements for them.
