Abstract
Although many approaches have been proposed for modeling and automatically validating communication protocol entities, no approaches have been proposed for automatically implementing various layered communication systems. In the article, we propose a layered communication system generator that can automatically implement various layered communication systems. The layered communication system generator is established on the basis of a generalized communication system framework. In addition, a layered communicating finite state machine is introduced to specify the layered communication systems, and a matrix approach is proposed for protocol validation. We have implemented the proposed layered communication system generator in DOS and UNIX environments, in which several real-world protocols from Department of Defense and IEEE 802 standards organizations have been successfully developed. © 1992.
