We present the formal specification and verification of a lip-synchronisation protocol using the real-time model checker Uppaal. A number of specifications of this protocol can be found in the literature, but this is the first automatic verification. We take a published specification of the protocol, code it up in the Uppaal timed automata notation and then verify whether the protocol satisfies the key properties of jitter and skew. The verification reveals some aws in the protocol. In particular, it shows that for certain sound and video streams the protocol can time-lock before reaching a prescribed error state. We also discuss our experience with Uppaal, with particular reference to modelling timeouts and to deadlock analysis.

Abstract
We present the formal specification and verification of a lip-synchronisation protocol using the real-time model checker Uppaal. A number of specifications of this protocol can be found in the literature, but this is the first automatic verification. We take a published specification of the protocol, code it up in the Uppaal timed automata notation and then verify whether the protocol satisfies the key properties of jitter and skew. The verification reveals some aws in the protocol. In particular, it shows that for certain sound and video streams the protocol can time-lock before reaching a prescribed error state. We also discuss our experience with Uppaal, with particular reference to modelling timeouts and to deadlock analysis.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
