Plain Ordinary Telephone System (POTS)

Description: The POTS (Plain Ordinary Telephone System) is a model of the behaviour of classical telephony systems, often used as a basis for studying the consequences of the introduction of new telephony services.
A formal description in LOTOS of the POTS model was developed by Patrik Ernberg (Swedish Institute of Computer Science), together with a list of 17 requirements that the POTS should satisfy. These requirements have been verified by Laurent Mounier and Hubert Garavel using the CADP toolbox, using various verification techniques :
  • deadlock detection
  • bisimulation equivalences
  • temporal logic and mu-calculus formulas


Conclusions: The POTS case-study successfully illustrates the capabilities of model-based verification, provided by the CADP toolbox. The informal requirements stated by P. Ernberg have been verified using different techniques.
