CSCI 5828 — Spring 2009

Create solutions to the following problems:

1. Question 4.2 of Chapter 4 in the Concurrency Textbook
2. Here is a solution to problem 2.5 of Chapter 2 in the Concurrency Textbook

   DRINKS = CREDIT[0],
   CREDIT[0] = (in.coin[5]   -> CREDIT[5]
               |in.coin[10]  -> CREDIT[10]
               |in.coin[20]  -> CHANGE[5]
               ),
   CREDIT[5] = (in.coin[5]   -> CREDIT[10]
               |in.coin[10]  -> CHANGE[0]
               |in.coin[20]  -> CHANGE[10]
               ),
   CREDIT[10]= (in.coin[5]   -> CHANGE[0]
               |in.coin[10]  -> CHANGE[5]
               |in.coin[20]  -> CHANGE[15]
               ),
   CHANGE[0]  = (can -> DRINKS),
   CHANGE[5]  = (can -> out.coin[5]  -> DRINKS),
   CHANGE[10] = (can -> out.coin[10] -> DRINKS),
   CHANGE[15] = (can -> out.coin[5]  -> out.coin[10] -> DRINKS).

   Add to this specification a WALLET process and a TEST process that do the following things. The WALLET process should model a wallet that contains 50p and keeps track of how much money it has as its owner removes and adds coins while acquiring cans from the vending machine. The TEST process should be defined like this:

   TEST = TEST[50][0],
   TEST[i: 0 .. 50][n: 0 .. 3] = ...

   It should keep track of the amount of money in the wallet and the number of cans acquired by the owner. If it ever detects that the owner has acquired three cans and has 5p in the wallet, it should emit the action "correct" and then transfer control to the STOP process. List the alphabets of each process and show the output of LTSA when runing its Check→Safety analysis. How does LTSA interpret the situation in which TEST has successfully executed the "correct" action?
