%X JACK (the acronym for Just Another Concurrency Kit) is a workbench integrating a set of verification tools for concurrent system specifications, supported by a graphical interface offering facilities to use these tools separately or in combination. The environment offers several functionalities to support the design, analysis and verification of systems specified using process algebras. In this paper we use JACK to formally specify the hardware components of a buffer system. Then we verify, by using the checking capabilities of JACK, the correctness of the specification with respect to some safety requirements, expressed in the action based temporal logic ACTL.
