Abstract
The application of aggregate approach for the formal description, validation, simulation and implementation of computer networks protocols is considered in the paper. With this approach the above mentioned design stages can be executed using a single mathematical scheme. The method of reachability states is used for the validation of protocol general properties, while individual characteristics are analysed by the invariant method which enables to verify the correctness of the invariant by protocol formal description. Aggregative mathematical schemes are used in the specification languages AGREGAT-84 and ESTELLE/AG applied in creating protocol analysing systems simulation and validation of protocols. Protocol automated implementation method based on the specification language ESTELLE/AG is presented. Formal description and results of alternating -bit protocol validation and simulation as its speciffication in AGREGAT 84 and Estelle/Ag are presented for illustration.
