“…Researchers used different formal specification languages to model their systems including TLA+ [13], VDM [25], Z [26], and Alloy [27]. In [11], the author modeled and verified a smart parking system using TLA+. In [3], the author designed and verified a smart office system using the VDM-SL toolbox.…”

Formal methods are one of the efficient tools to verify and validate designs for different kinds of systems. Smart systems are attracting researchers' attention due to the rapid spread of new technologies all over the world. Modeling a smart system requires connecting heterogeneous subsystems together to build it. Our contribution to this work is in focusing on using formal methods to prove that a design model meets its specifications. We have chosen to design a smart school building system due to the lack of research in this particular area, and to prove that formal methods are appropriate for different systems applications. In this paper, we have used UML diagrams and the formal specification language TLA+ to design a smart school building system. We validate our design using the TLC model checker. The smart school system has many subsystems connected together including a secure access system, lighting control system, climate control system, and smoke detection system. Safety is a very important attribute in this system. Our goal is to have a smart system that satisfies its functional requirements as well as any non-functional requirements like safety. The system provides safety for employees and students in the smart school.

Requirement change management is a challenging issue in software development. One of the main objectives of the Intent-Defined Adaptive Software program is to verify the satisfaction of requirement changes during software development. In this paper, we develop an ontology-based method to detect inconsistencies in Systems Modeling Language (SysML) models with Object Constraint Language (OCL) constraints as a first step of requirement change management. Specifically, we map the SysML/OCL models to Web Ontology Language (OWL), so that the consistency of the corresponding ontology can be checked by OWL reasoners automatically. We propose a set of mapping rules to interpret the components of SysML state machine diagrams, along with OCL constraints, to OWL. Toward this objective, we demonstrate three consistency reasoning tasks over a state machine diagram using OWL reasoners. In each case, the result of reasoning is accompanied by an explanation of the logic behind the decision.
