“…Formal verification of UML and SysML diagrams commonly relies on translating one UML or SysML model into a formal model [11]. Translation from UML/SysML to state/transition models has been formalized in the context of Petri nets [7,8,12,13], automata for NuSMV model checker [14], timed automata [9] for UPPAAL model checker, hybrid automata [15], model checker NuSMV [16], probabilistic model checker PRISM [6,15], and a theorem prover [17].…”

“…from an input source model based on transformation rules [33]. Transformation rules are the set of formal definitions [34] that define how one or more constructs in source model language map to one or more constructs in target model language [18]. While developing transformation rules, main focus is to reduce overall efforts and information loses during transformation process [17].…”

A Model-Driven Mobile HMI Framework (MMHF) for Industrial Control Systems

With the advent of software technologies, over a period of time, the Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) have grown exponentially. Whereas, almost all ICSs comprise Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), which are the key component for monitoring and controlling complex industrial systems. For decades, traditional HMIs with simple User Interfaces (UIs) remained operational to minimize the complexities and resulting operational costs. However, due to the emergence of smartphone technologies, the perception about user interfaces has been transformed significantly and users now demand same sort of experience with industrial HMIs, as well. There are few industrial solutions, like, ICONICS GraphWorX to support the development of mobile HMI screens. However, such proprietary solutions are quite expensive. Furthermore, the underlying development approaches and source codes are not accessible in public domain. On the other hand, the state-of-the-art approaches for the development of native mobile HMI screens are hard to find in the literature. Consequently, there is dire need of a cost-effective, easy to use, open source framework for the development of native mobile HMI screens. In order to achieve this goal, here we propose, a Model-driven Mobile HMI Framework (MMHF). MMHF comprises, a Unified Modeling Language (UML) Profile for Mobile HMI (UMLPMH) for modeling of HMI screens. MMHF also includes, an open source transformation engine and a Model Driven Mobile-based HMI Code Generator (MDMHCG) to automatically transform UMLPMH models into target native mobile HMI implementations. Consequently, MMHF enables simpler way to design the HMI screens using UMLPMH and generates native Mobile HMI Screen implementations automatically using MDMHCG. The empirical evidence of MMHF is demonstrated through three (3) benchmark case studies, which prove that the MMHF is a feasible, cost effective and scalable solution to develop native HMI screens for wide-ranging ICSs.

“…The OS abstraction layer provides the OS-independent abstraction to the ARINC-653 core layer, so that the implementation of the upper layer can be reused without modifications for different platforms. This can make the modeling and verification of software much easier and improve the safety [15], [16].…”

The ARINC-653 standard defines temporal partitioning that enables multiple avionics applications to execute independently from each other without interference in terms of CPU resources. Though partitioning has been mainly discussed from the viewpoint of manned aircraft, it can also efficiently integrate multiple applications on civilian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that have even severer limitations on size, weight, power, and cost. In order to employ ARINC-653 temporal partitioning to civilian UAVs, its implementation must be flexible enough to be applied to diverse run-time software environments and computing hardware platforms. In this paper, we suggest a portable and configurable implementation of ARINC-653 for small-sized civilian UAVs aiming for low cost, easy development, and easy extension. Our implementation provides the Operating System (OS) abstraction layer that defines the essential OS-level features and the OS-independent interfaces to the upper layer that actually implements the ARINC-653 standard. Our implementation is also modularized so that the policies of resource management in CPU scheduling and memory allocation can be easily extended and selectively configured. In addition, we implement the advanced resource management schemes to promote the benefits of multi-core processors that are already widely deployed in Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) systems. We show that our ARINC-653 implementation is portable across different OS, such as Linux and RTEMS, reusing the most of source codes thanks to the layered and modular design. We also analyze the overheads of the ARINC-653 APEX interfaces and multi-core scheduling. Moreover, we conduct a case study for a small-sized quad-copter.INDEX TERMS ARINC-653, integrated modular avionics, multi-core, portability, temporal partitioning, unmanned aerial vehicles.
