Formal Analysis of Leader Election in MANETs Using Real-Time Maude

  • Chapter
Software, Services, and Systems

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 8950))

Abstract

The modeling and analysis of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) pose non-trivial challenges to formal methods. Time, geometry, communication delays and failures, mobility, and uni- and bidirectionality can interact in unforeseen ways that are hard to model and analyze by automatic formal methods. In this work we use rewriting logic and Real-Time Maude to address this challenge. We propose a composable formal framework for MANET protocols and their mobility models that can take into account such complex interactions. We illustrate our framework by analyzing a well-studied leader election protocol for MANETs in the presence of both mobility and uni- and bidirectional links.
