Formal Systems Specification The RPC-Memory Specification Case Study / edited by Manfred Broy, Stephan Merz, Katharina Spies.

The RPC-memory specification problem was proposed by Broy and Lamport as a case study in the formal design of distributed and concurrent systems. As a realistic example typical for operating systems and hardware design, the RPC-memory problem was used as the basis for comparing various approaches to...
