“…In the aeronautics area Cofer et al [48] have proposed a formally verified implementation of aerial vehicles using multiple tools; for instance, jKind model checker [49], which assures the correctness of components and Isabelle/HOL theorem prover to guarantee that system execution semantics is according to the model. As another example, Trusted Build [47] was proposed in the DARPA High Assurance Cyber Military Systems (HACMS) Program by Collins Aerospace. This approach created a framework for seL4 from AADL using the CAmkES modeling language and was crucial in outlining the model-based creation for seL4 perspective.…”

Formal method tools are used in the initial stages of the software development cycle and have advanced in to deal with the design difficulties related to ensuring strong cybersecurity an reliability in high-assurance systems. Operating system kernels are the security keystone of most computer systems. Their continuous advances require formal verification that guarantees the accuracy of their functionalities. As the world's first microkernel to be proven mathematically secure and functionally correct, seL4 has been adopted for use in a range of critical systems, including defense, aerospace, and financial services applications. In spite of the great effort of the seL4 team to present a comprehensive formal verification of the kernels, there are some security aspects of verification that suffer from a limited scope. From an outsider's perspective, this paper aims to evaluate if seL4 formal verification is adequate to address security requirements and surveys the recent state of the art for seL4 microkernels.INDEX TERMS Microkernel, seL4, formal methods, correctness verification.

Abstract-Requirements and architecture specifications are strongly related as the second provides a solution to a problem stated by the first. This coupling is typically realized by traceability links and maintaining such links becomes extremely difficult as both requirements and architecture specifications frequently evolve, and in particular when the architecture is refined providing an increasing level of details. In such case, not only the traceability must evolve but the requirements must be refined as well. We present a novel semi-automated approach to evolve nonfunctional requirements and their traceability links following system's architecture refinement in the context of design space exploration and automated code generation. The approach has been prototyped for AADL models refined with the RAMSES tool and for model transformations implemented as Story Diagrams.

Abstract-In system design, an architecture specification or model serves, among other purposes, as a repository to share knowledge about the system being designed. Such a repository enables automatic generation of analytical models for different aspects relevant to system design (timing, reliability, security, etc.). The Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL) is a standard proposed by SAE to express architecture specifications and share knowledge between the different stakeholders about the system being designed. To support unambiguous reasoning, formal verification, high-fidelity simulation of architecture specifications in a modelbased AADL design workflow, we have defined a formal semantics for the behavior specification of the AADL, the presentation of this semantics is the aim of this paper.
