Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) is a technique that aims to boost productivity in software development and ensure the safety of critical systems. Central to MDE is the refinement of high-level requirement models into executable code. Given that requirement models form the foundation of the entire development process, ensuring their correctness is crucial. RM2PT is a widely used MDE platform that employs the REModel language for requirement modeling. REModel contains contract sections and other sections including a UML sequence diagram. This paper contributes a coroutine-based type system that represents pre-and post-conditions in the contract sections in a requirement model as the receiving and yielding parts of coroutines, respectively. The type system is capable of composing coroutine types, so that users can view functions as a whole system and check their collective behavior. By doing so, our type system ensures that the contracts defined in it are executed as outlined in the accompanied sequence diagram. We assessed our approach using four case studies provided by RM2PT, validating the accuracy of the models.INDEX TERMS coroutine, model-driven engineering, static analysis, type system.

Class models play central roles in model-driven development (MDD). Automated analysis of class models is crucial to uncover design problems. In previous work, we described a rigorous lightweight approach to analyzing operation specifications in UML design class models against temporal properties. However, the approach lacks a mechanism to handle the analysis of large class models. This paper presents a slicing algorithm that can be used to scale the analysis to large class models. We performed a preliminary evaluation using the Steam Boiler Control System. The results are presented in this paper.

“…This includes, for example, SCADE [5] or TargetLink [19]. Furthermore, there are many approaches to facilitate the use of models in the safety-critical area via subsequent formal verification and validation [20] [21] of models and requirements through model-checking [22] [23] [24]. In addition to a model checker, the UPPAAL tool also offers the possibility of creating abstract models, simulate dynamic behavior, and specify and verify the safety of the models [25] [26].…”

The use of domain-specific modeling for development of complex (cyber-physical) systems is gaining increasing acceptance in the industrial environment. Domain-specific modeling allows complex systems and data to be abstracted for a more efficient system design, development, validation, and configuration. However, no existing (meta-)modeling framework can be used with reasonable effort in certified software so far, neither for the development of systems nor for the execution of system functions. For the use of (development) artifacts from domain-specific modeling in safety-critical processes or systems it is required to ensure their correctness by either subsequent (manual) verification or the usage of (pre-)qualified software. Existing meta-languages often contain modeling elements that are difficult or impossible to implement in a qualifiable manner leading to a high manual, subsequent certification effort. Therefore, the aim is to develop a (meta-)modeling framework, that can be used in certified software. This can significantly reduce the development effort for safety-critical systems and enables the full advantages of domain-specific modeling. The framework components considered in this PhD-Thesis include: (1) an essential meta-language, (2) a qualifiable runtime environment, and (3) a suitable persistence. The essential (meta-)modeling language is mainly based on the UML standard, but is enhanced with multilevel modeling concepts such as deep instantiation. Supporting a possible qualification, the meta-language is implemented using the highly restrictive, but formally provable programming language Ada SPARK.
