Formal Method to Derive Interoperability Requirements and Guarantees

Author 1: Hazem El- Gendy Author 2: Magdi Amer Author 3: Ihab Talkhan

Interoperability among telecommunications systems, possibly by different vendors, is essential for both the development of many telecommunications networks, and today's civilization development. Interoperability testing is very costly, as it has a complexity of (n**2) for n systems, and somewhat informal. In this paper, we develop a 'Conformance Testing (CT)'-based formal… Read full abstract & cite →
