ABSTRACT	. SPIN is a tool to simulate and validate Protocols. PROMELA, its source language, is a formal description technique like SDL and Estelle that is based on communicating state machines. Unlike most other tools, SPIN is in the public domain and therefore is one of the most widely used formal veri#cation tools today. PROMELA allows to specify distributed automata which can communicate using either message channels or shared memory. This contribution consists of an extension to SPIN which allows the creation of implementations from PROMELA speci#cations. This can be used for the creation of test scenarios and the rapid prototyping of validated protocol implementations. 1. Introduction Formal Description Techniques #FDTs# are used in many #elds of software engineering. One main application #eld is the validation of software designs, especially telecommunication protocols, but they are equally applicable to other #elds such as avionics, nuclear power control, medicine, railway con...	user correction - Legacy Corrections
