Using Temporal Logic for Dynamic Reconfigurations of Components

International audienceDynamic recongurations increase the availability and the reliability of component-based systems by allowing their architectures to evolve at run-time. This paper deals with the formal specication and verication of dynamic recongurations of those systems using architectural constraints and temporal logic patterns. The proposals of the paper are applied to the Fractal component model. Given a Fractal reference implementation of a component-based system, we specify its dynamic recongurations using a temporal pattern logic for Fractal, called FTPL, characterizing the correct behaviour of the system under some architectural constraints. We study system recongurations on which we verify these requirements, in particular by reusing the FPath and FScript tools
