Abstract
<p>In this paper we present a system description language and a technique of top-down specification and verification of distributed systems. Our language is called Epsilon, and it has been developed for the description and analysis of systems containing concurrent components.</p><p>We have used and developed concepts from the Simula and Delta languages and from Petri net theory. A system described in Epsilon consists of a number of concurrent objects. Each object has a set of attributes, e.g. variables and procedures, and executes a sequence of actions. Epsilon includes both normal algorithmic statements and first order predicate logic as description elements.</p><p>An abbreviated version of this paper has been presented at the third European Workshop on Applications and Theory of Petri Nets, Springer Informatik Fachberichte 66.</p>
