National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Abstract	This thesis gives a specification of a communication protocol known a s 'Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) Medium Access Control and Physical Layer Specifications' using Systems of communicating Machines and shared variables. This protocol is defined in the ANSI/IEEE Standard 802.3 (using the same name). Specification has been analysed using a method called system state analysis. The analysis showed the protocol to be free from deadlocks. The study concludes that CSMA/CD protocol needs a better specification method. (RH)
