Description
Summary:Mobile agent systems offer efficiency and flexibility as a design paradigm. These two characteristics allow to these systems to be an adequate solution for many problems. These systems are used in many critical domains. This expansion, in use, obliges designers to insure the reliability and correctness of such systems. Formal methods can be used to verify thecorrectness of these systems. This paper presents a formal specification and verification of mobile agent systems using the High Order π-calculus. The verification exploits the twotools UPPAAL and SPIN.
