Query: Monitoring Assumptions in Assume-Guarantee Contracts   Pre-deployment verification of software components with respect to behavioral
specifications in the assume-guarantee form does not, in general, guarantee
absence of errors at run time. This is because assumptions about the
environment cannot be discharged until the environment is fixed. An intuitive
approach is to complement pre-deployment verification of guarantees, up to the
assumptions, with post-deployment monitoring of environment behavior to check
that the assumptions are satisfied at run time. Such a monitor is typically
implemented by instrumenting the application code of the component. An
additional challenge for the monitoring step is that environment behaviors are
typically obtained through an I/O library, which may alter the component's view
of the input format. This transformation requires us to introduce a second
pre-deployment verification step to ensure that alarms raised by the monitor
would indeed correspond to violations of the environment assumptions. In this
paper, we describe an approach for constructing monitors and verifying them
against the component assumption. We also discuss limitations of
instrumentation-based monitoring and potential ways to overcome it.
