“…In [19], the author presents a way to go from informal requirements to hybrid models with the use of pattern templates. In [20], a method for generating Simulink monitors from formal requirements is presented -this procedure is essentially the opposite of the one presented in this paper. In [21], a tool is introduced for translating Simulink models into theories in the proof assistant Isabelle [22].…”

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are systems with both physical and software components, for example cars and industrial robots. Since these systems exhibit both discrete and continuous dynamics, they are complex and it is thus difficult to verify that they behave as expected. Falsification of temporal logic properties is an approach to find counterexamples to CPSs by means of simulation. In this paper, we propose two additions to enhance the capability of falsification and make it more viable in a large-scale industrial setting. The first addition is a framework for transforming specifications from a signal-based model into Signal Temporal Logic. The second addition is the use of Valued Booleans and an additive robust semantics in the falsification process. We evaluate the performance of the additive robust semantics on a set of benchmark models, and we can see that which semantics are preferable depend both on the model and on the specification. arXiv:1910.08306v1 [eess.SY]

“…Regarding future exploitation, we are interested in investigating application of the technique in this paper to test case chains generation for reactive systems [18]. In particular, testing of model-based development processes (e.g., testing Simulink systems [19,20,21]) is of great relevance to the context of avionics software certification.…”

We propose and demonstrate a method for the reduction of testing effort in safety-critical software development using DO-178 guidance. We achieve this through the application of Bounded Model Checking (BMC) to formal low-level requirements, in order to generate tests automatically that are good enough to replace existing labor-intensive test writing procedures while maintaining independence from implementation artefacts. Given that existing manual processes are often empirical and subjective, we begin by formally defining a metric, which extends recognized best practice from code coverage analysis strategies to generate tests that adequately cover the requirements. We then formulate the automated test generation procedure and apply its prototype in case studies with industrial partners. In review, the method developed here is demonstrated to significantly reduce the human effort for the qualification of software products under DO-178 guidance.

“…In [56], the authors present a tool for generating monitors and a Simulink library for supporting model validation at simulation time. The main weakness of such work, as it is stated by the authors, is that no support to the user to describe the model requirements in a formal language with a syntax closer to the natural languages has been provided.…”

Formal requirements modeling for cyber-physical systems engineering: an integrated solution based on FORM-L and Modelica

et al. 2021

The increasing complexity of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) makes their design, development and operation extremely challenging. Due to the nature of CPS that involves many heterogeneous components, which are often designed and developed by organizations belonging to different engineering domains, it is difficult to manage, trace and verify their properties, requirements and constraints throughout their lifecycle by using classical techniques. In this context, the paper presents an integrated solution to formally define system requirements and automate their verification through simulation. The solution is based on the FOrmal Requirements Modeling Language and the Modelica language. The solution is exemplified through two case studies concerning a Trailing-Edge High-Lift system and a Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning system.
