| Abstract: | A technique for software system behavior specification appropriate for use in designing systems with concurrency is presented. The technique is based upon a generalized ability to define events, or significant occurrences in a software system, and then indicate whatever constraints the designer might wish to see imposed upon the ordering or simultaneity of those events. Constructs implementing this technique in the DREAM software design system are presented and illustrated. The relationship of this technique to other behavior specification techniques is also discussed. |
