Automatic Derivation, Integration and Verification of Synchronization Aspects in Object-Oriented Design Methods Tool Configuration New Ideas Coarse-grain (invariant-based) Synchronizations Leverage emerging RUP/UML methods to simplify the problem of building reliable concurrent/embedded software High-level, modular specifications of global program synchronization Identification of a collection of reusable synchronization patterns Automatic derivation of efficient low-level implementations of synchronization behavior for multiple concurrency models and languages Weaving and optimization of verified synchronization code with functional code Synchronization Aspect Specs Synch Aspect Analysis & Code Gen Functional Core Code Fine-grain (monitor-based) Realizations Models for Verification Bandera Program Specializer Code Weaver Optimized Woven-code Woven-code Impact Schedule Separation of synchronization concerns from functional code development will reduce development costs and improve quality Seamless integration of complex synchronization policies with complex object-oriented designs and implementations Developers will be able to leverage existing design knowledge via synchronization patterns embedded in tools Automated checking of critical safety/liveness properties of woven concurrent code to reveal subtle defects, will complement traditional validation methods Exploiting domain-specific aspect languages will dramatically reduce checking time making property verification tractable 2000 2001 2004 Formalizing Counter-based Synchronization Aspects Definition of SynchAspect Language Front-ends for SynchAspects and code generation for Java Support for SynchAspect patterns Weaver for Java Verification of woven-Java Code-gen & Weaver for C++ Support for Distribution, Deadline and Temporal Aspects Case-studies for CAN applications and full-scale target systems Integration with USDL tools Dwyer, Hatcliff, Mizuno, Neilsen & Singh
