The lack of well-defined protocols for interaction with the operating system is a common source of defects in device drivers. In this paper we investigate the use of a formal language to define these protocols unambiguously. We present a language that allows us to convey all important requirements for driver behaviour in a compact specification and that can be readily understood by software engineers. It is intended to close the communication gap between OS and driver developers and enable more reliable device drivers. |
