Development environment based on LOTOS and architectural styles

Abstract : As the complexity of software increases, the issue of methodology of software architecture design becomes relevant. Building a software following architectural styles can provide an efficient guide of software architecture design such as using layered-system style to build a communication protocol. Our aim is to build a design environment being capable of assisting and controlling the software design based on a given architectural style. The design is generated as a LOTOS specification in order to formally verify its correctness.
