The life-cycle development of critical systems follows mainly a V-cycle process overlapped with proofs and/or verification techniques. At the first development stage, a critical system must be, precisely, and as completely as possible described. Thus, it is recommended to use a graphical modeling language standard such as the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the Object Constraint Language (OCL), to which both customers and developers could contribute. Then, the graphical design with its formal specification (requirements) is mapped into a complete formal development environment, using an MDE (Model-driven engineering) approach. The formal environment has to assess the development until the generation of a secure code. In this context, we propose a life-cycle development approach that combines UML/OCL and the FoCaLiZe formal environment for the secure development of critical systems. The proposed approach ensures essential development constraints such as strict boundaries and traceability between development phases. It also ensures a secure maintenance phase using partial transformation techniques from UML/OCL to FoCaLiZe. The latter enhances the transformation from UML/OCL into FoCaLiZe to support incremental development and assist developers in correcting modeling errors. The proposed approach is mostly dedicated to secure and maintainable lifecycle development processes of critical systems. The formal environment assesses the development process until the generation of a secure code. To illustrate the proposed approach, we present the stages of development of a constrained system controlling military objects. The development of this system uses the iterative, incremental, and maintainability stages as described by the development approach, until the generation of secure code.

“…On one hand, UML and its derivatives have the potential to represent a system from a variety of design view points, being flexible in terms of their semantics and notations used. On the other hand, this flexibility is considered as not suitable for the applications where it is expected that a model can exactly be transformed, or can be co-related to another formalism and tools, or required to have semantic adaptability under one common platform [Nellen et al (2018); Chabbat and et al (2021)]. Consequently, integrating modelling tools and languages to model complex health-related applications is still a valid research problem that requires attention.…”

Efficient use and timely availability of healthcare resourcesplay a critical role in today’s society. A key factor in managing theseresources is their automated and flexible allocation and deallocation. Wepresent a formal approach to model the medical resource allocation process as timed automata. This approach aims to improve treatment pro-cesses and alleviate staff workload by allocating resources strategically for a specific duration and releasing them synchronously. We ensure that the model satisfies important domain-specific requirements and is structured in a modular fashion. Further, we demonstrate the applicability of our approach in a clinical scenario involving combinations of patients,caregivers, and medical resources. In this scenario, we verify the cor-rectness of this model’s temporal properties. Finally, we show how ourmodel can be extended with new components without compromising itsessential properties.

Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.0 Sequence Diagrams (UML 2.0 SD) are used to describe interactions in software systems. These diagrams must be verified in the early stages of software development process to guarantee the production of a reliable system. However, UML 2.0 SD lack formal semantics as all UML specifications, which makes their verification difficult, especially if we are modeling a critical system where the automation of verification is necessary. Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) is a formal specification language that is
