Synopsis

This book presents and studies a modern formal method for the description and the analysis of the requirements and for the design and the verification of highly dynamic and complex modern information systems. In fact, the study of modern information systems needs new models, methodologies and tools for professional and scientific research in the field of software engineering. The book analyses the development of Distributed Abstract State Machines for Grid Services using CoreASM. Grid technology makes available a lot of computational power for solving many application problems. ASM methodology is used for the analysis and the verification of a set of middleware services and can help to better understand Grid behaviour and to improve the efficiency and the reduction of development costs. The book starts from the informal description of the Job Execution Management Services in Grid systems and the specification of requirements. Then, it highlights the design of the software agents and the ASM rules and states. The model is implemented using CoreASM and dynamically validated. Finally, some properties and interoperability concepts are analysed.
