Inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism is one of the key technologies of microkernel operating system. In this paper we present a formal method to model and verify the IPC implementation. The source code of L4 IPC implementation is translated into abstract model which is described in Promela, and the abstract model can be verified with Spin directly. The experimental results show the feasibility and practicality of the method.
Key words： L4 microkernel; inter-process communication(IPC); model checking; Spin
