A Little Knowledge Goes a Long Way: Knowledge-Based Derivations and Correctness Proofs for a Family of Protocols

View publication

Abstract

A high-level, knowledge-based approach for deriving a family of protocols for the sequence transmission problem is presented. The protocols of Aho et al. [2, 3], the Alternating Bit protocol [5], and Stenning's protocol [44] are all instances of one knowledge-based protocol that is derived. The derivation in this paper leads to transparent and uniform correctness proofs for all these protocols. © 1992, ACM. All rights reserved.
