Verifying eventuality properties of imprecise system requirements using event-B
Pages 1651 - 1653
Abstract
Formally checking properties of functional requirements needs precise descriptions. However, the stakeholders sometimes describe the system with ambiguous, vague or fuzzy terms, hence formal frameworks for modeling and verifying such requirements are desirable. As one such, the Fuzzy If-Then rules have been used, but analyzing their functional properties still needs new methods. In this paper, we propose a refinement-based modeling approach for specification and verification of such requirements which are represented by Fuzzy If-Then rules. First, we make use of Event-B refinement where we provide a set of translation rules from Fuzzy If-Then rules to Event-B notations, then show how to verify both safety and eventuality properties with RODIN/Event-B. Finally, we illustrate the proposed method on an example case of Crane Controller.
