Practical Formal Verification for Model Based Development of Cyber-Physical Systems

Formal Verification of Control Modules in Cyber-Physical Systems

“…Model checking of specialized cyber-physical energy systems and complex power electronics systems is proposed in [ 61 , 62 ], with the use of a modelling and simulation-based software. A practical verification framework filling the gaps between model-based development and the formal verification process is proposed in [ 63 ], and consists of a model transformation method for the plant models of CPSs, including differential algebraic equations to equivalent models without them, in order to reduce verification complexity. The model simplification method automatically simplifies bond-graph models by replacing complex components with simpler components for further verification of overhead reductions.…”

Survey on automated symbolic verification and its application for synthesising cyber‐physical systems

“…In summary, variables are represented as symbols that are modified during program execution, while they are evaluated with assertions. Ishigooka et al [82] proposed a framework with a model generator, which provides models and checks them through symbolic execution. A careful definition regarding properties to be checked is required, by taking into account interaction between actuator and plant.…”

Formal verification of ontology transformation for distribution network information model based on meta‐model theory

“…Formal methods have been used to verify whether the information model of a smart distributed network possesses expected semantic features [7][8][9]. Using underlying logic and semantics derived from ontology rules and propositions, formal definitions and logical descriptions have been constructed for elements in the information model such as objects, logic, and scenes [10].…”
