Several formalisms have been applied for addressing development issues in Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs), however they usually lack of understandability, expressiveness and executability features. Instead, the Abstract State Machine (ASM) formalism does not suffer these limitations and can provide a useful conceptual tool for reasoning about MANET behavior. This paper shows the practical suitability of ASMs in capturing the specific MANET issues: concurrency, communications, and so on. To this end, the Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol for MANETs is modeled, and some properties of interest are proved.

Abstract
Several formalisms have been applied for addressing development issues in Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks (MANETs), however they usually lack of understandability, expressiveness and executability features. Instead, the Abstract State Machine (ASM) formalism does not suffer these limitations and can provide a useful conceptual tool for reasoning about MANET behavior. This paper shows the practical suitability of ASMs in capturing the specific MANET issues: concurrency, communications, and so on. To this end, the Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol for MANETs is modeled, and some properties of interest are proved.File in questo prodotto:
