A rewriting logic approach to the formal specification and verification of web applications

[EN] This paper develops a Rewriting Logic framework for the automatic specification and verification of Web applications that considers the critical aspects of concurrent Web interactions, browser navigation features (e.g., forward/back-ward navigation, page refresh, and new window/tab opening), an...

By encompassing the main features of the most popular Web scripting languages (e.g., PHP, ASP, and Java Servlets), our scripting language is powerful enough to model the dynamics of complex Web applications, where the interactions among Web servers and Web browsers are formalized through a landmark communicating protocol that abstracts HTTP. We provide a detailed characterization of browser actions via rewrite rules and show how our models can be naturally model-checked by using the Linear Temporal Logic of Rewriting (LTLR), which is a Linear Temporal Logic that is specifically designed for model-checking rewrite theories. The framework has been completely implemented in Maude, and we report on some successful experiments that we conducted using the Maude LTLR model-checker.This work has been partially supported by the EU (FEDER) and the Spanish MEC project ref. TIN2010-21062-C02-02, and by Generalitat Valenciana ref. PROMETE02011/052. This work was carried out during the tenure by Demis Ballis of an ERCIM "Alain Bensoussan" Postdoctoral Fellowship. The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement no 246016.
