STORM SURGE BARRIER: OVERVIEW AND DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Experience using Spin and Promela in the Design of a Storm Surge Barrier Control System

The Spin tool set (Spin and Xspin) was used to validate parts of the design of a storm surge barrier control system, in particular the communication interfaces with the outside world. Promela combined with Z is used to specify crucial aspects of the design. In this talk we outline our experience with the use of Spin and Promela, and discuss some ideas for extensions/improvements.

A Formal Verification Study on the Rotterdam Storm Surge Barrier

This paper presents the results of the validation and verification of a crucial component of BOS, a large safety-critical system that decides when to close and open the Maeslantkering, a storm surge barrier near the city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands. BOS was specified in the formal language Z and model checking has been applied to some of its subsystems during its development. A lightweight ...

Timed Testing with TorX: the Oosterschelde Storm Surge Barrier

We report on the automatic testing of the control software of the Oosterschelde kering, a storm surge barrier. The automatic testing includes automatic test case derivation and automatic test execution. This project is a joint effort of CMG and the computer science group “Formal Methods and Tools” at the university of Twente. We introduce the way we currently test at the Formal Methods and Tool...

Storm surge scenarios for Hamburg

Abstract A scenario for future storm surge heights for the tide gauge of Hamburg St. Pauli is constructed on the basis of results from a regional model for Cuxhaven. Under the A2 emission scenario, an increase of the mean annual maximum water level of about 0.1724 m appears possible and plausible for the time horizon of 2030. In Cuxhaven, an increase of 0.14 may be expected in this scenario. In...
