Abstract

Model-based development is an important paradigm for developing cyber-physical systems (CPS). The underlying assumption is that the functional behavior of a model is related to the behavior of a more concretized model or the real system. A formal definition of such a relation is called conformance relation. There are a variety of conformance relations, and the question arises of how to select a conformance relation for the development of CPS. The contribution of this article is a survey of the definitions and algorithms of conformance relations for CPS. Additionally, the article compares several conformance relations and provides guidance on which relation to select for specific problems. Finally, we discuss how to select inputs for testing conformance.

Verifying cyber-physical systems by combining software model checking with hybrid systems reachability
EMSOFT '16: Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Embedded Software

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) span the communication, computation and control domains. Creating a single, complete, and detailed model of a CPS is not only difficult, but, in terms of verification, probably not useful; current verification algorithms are ...
Parametrized Verification of Distributed Cyber-Physical Systems: An Aircraft Landing Protocol Case Study
ICCPS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 IEEE/ACM Third International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems

In this paper, we present the formal modeling and automatic parameterized verification of a distributed air traffic control protocol called the Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS). Each aircraft is modeled as a timed automaton with (possibly ...
Skill-Based Verification of Cyber-Physical Systems
Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering
Abstract
Cyber-physical systems are ubiquitous nowadays. However, as automation increases, modeling and verifying them becomes increasingly difficult due to the inherently complex physical environment. Skill graphs are a means to model complex cyber-...
