Formal verification of an automotive scenario in service-oriented computing

Abstract

We report on the successful application of academic experience with formal modelling and verification techniques to an automotive scenario from the service-oriented computing domain. The aim of this industrial case study is to verify a priori, thus before implementation, certain design issues. The specific scenario is a simplified version of one of possible new services for car drivers to be provided by the in-vehicle computers.

Service-Based Development of Context-Aware Automotive Telematics Systems

“…er Beek et al [23] studied the use of formal modeling and verification techniques in the requirement analysis phase of automotive software development. The researchers adopt UML profile and UML state machines to model the system requirements, and use the on-the-fly model checker to verify the correctness of properties.…”

“…It takes UMC just seconds to verify it to be true. Such verifications can be used to show that the RAS requirements model is well designed [3].…”

“…With respect to our case study, the UMC specification has the following structure: Again, we omit the details of the structure of the UML description of the system, referring to [5] for a more detailed presentation, while we show how the ground L 2 TS resulting from the UML computational model is abstracted by applying a set of abstraction rules which allow to associate abstract observable events to the actual ground events of the model. An example of such rules is shown below: Notice that the abstract observable events constituting the abstract L 2 TS (as they appear on the right side of the abstractions rules) are the same abstract events used in the case of the COWS specification.…”
