Developing a Framework for Simulation, Verification and Testing of SDL Specifications
Description: 3-Nov-00: Concurrency Simulation

Concurrency Simulation
•An oracle indicates to the top-level simulator function the id of the next instance to simulate
•How fine-grained should a simulation be?
–Transitions are considered atomic: the simulation might miss some possible real-life process interleaving scenarios
–Actions are considered atomic: some actions, such as procedure calls, are more time consuming than simple actions, such as goto and nextstate
•We are implementing mechanisms to handle both cases, so that appropriate process interleaving can be selected for each application
