High complexity of a modern operating system (OS) requires to use complex models and high-level specification languages to describe even separated aspects of OS functionality, e.g., security functions. Use of such models in conformance verification of modeled OS needs to establish rather complex relation between elements of OS implementation and elements of the model. In this paper we present a method to establish and support such a relation, which can be effectively used in testing and runtime verification/monitoring of OS. The method described was used successfully in testing and monitoring of Linux OS core components on conformance to Event-B models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
