A Formal Framework for Modelling and Analysing Mobile Systems

Overview This paper presents a formal framework for modelling and analysing mobile systems. The framework comprises a collection of models of the dominant design paradigms which are readily extended to incorporate details of particular technologies, i.e., programming languages and their run-time support, and applications. The modelling language is Object-Z, an ex-tension of the well-known Z specification language with explicit support for object-oriented concepts. Its support for object orientation makes Object-Z particularly suited to the task. The system structuring techniques offered by object orientation are well suited to modelling mobile systems. In addition, inheritance and polymorphism allow to exploit commonalities in mobile systems by defining more complex models in terms of simpler ones.
