Four Formal Models of IEEE 1394 Link Layer
arXiv:2403.18723 · doi:10.4204/EPTCS.399.5
Abstract
We revisit the IEEE 1394 high-performance serial bus ("FireWire"), which became a success story in formal methods after three PhD students, by using process algebra and model checking, detected a deadlock error in this IEEE standard. We present four formal models for the asynchronous mode of the Link Layer of IEEE 1394: the original model in muCRL, a simplified model in mCRL2, a revised model in LOTOS, and a novel model in LNT.
