A special session on

EDUCATIONAL CASE STUDIES IN PROTOCOLS

is to be held at  

FORTE/PSTV'98

FORMAL DESCRIPTION TECHNIQUES (FORTE XI) - PROTOCOL SPECIFICATION, TESTING, AND VERIFICATION (PSTV XVIII) PARIS, 3-6 November 1998

The Ecasp session will take place during the tutorial day, 3 November.

Rationale: in the past few years a large number of tool supported case studies have been developed in an educational context (e.g. as a University course, or industrial training package) and the aim of this session is to report on the experience that has been capitalized in this important domain. The special session is devoted to presenting educational case studies on protocols and distributed systems. The case studies include various tutorial aspects such as animation, formal specification, debugging and automated verification.

During this special session, authors may include in their presentations an on-line, notebook based, demonstration of the case study. The case studies may also be demonstrated during the conference.
