The use of model checking and the COSMA environment in the design of reactive systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper discusses how a bridge between the design practice and the formal methods could be maintained. The use of model checking seems to be the most promising approach. Then, the software environment COSMA is presented, implementated in the Institute of Computer Science,WUT. The conceptual framework of COSMA is based upon Concurrent State Machines (CSM) and Extended CSM, which are also briefly summarized and illustrated with a simple example.

Reachability checking in complex and concurrent software systems using intelligent search methods
Software system verification is an efficient technique for ensuring the correctness of a software product, especially in safety-critical systems in which a small bug may have disastrous consequences. The goal of software verification is to ensure that the product fulfills the requirements. Studies show that the cost of finding and fixing errors in design time is less than finding and fixing the...

The COSMA software environment, developed in the Institute of Computer Science, WUT, was designed primarily for model checking of reactive systems specified in terms of Concurrent State Machines (CSM). However, COSMA supports also Extended CSM (ECSM). The extensions allow for using complex data types and pieces of C/C++ code, attributed to CSM states and/or transitions. Because of these extensi...

Model checking is an automatic technique for software verification through which all reachable states are generated from an initial state to finding errors and desirable patterns. In the model checking approach, the behavior and structure of system should be modeled. Graph transformation system is a graphical formal modeling language to specify and model the system. However, modeling of large s...
