Refinement of Fault Tolerant Control Systems in B

چکیده
Application of formal methods helps us to gain confidence in building correct software. On the other hand, to guarantee dependability of the overall system we need to build fault tolerant software, i.e., software which is not only fault-free but also is able to cope with faults of other system components. Obviously, this goal is attainable only if fault tolerance mechanisms constitute an intrinsic part of software behaviour. In this paper we propose a formal approach to modeldriven development of fault tolerant control systems. We demonstrate how to integrate fault tolerance into the automated refinement process in the B method. The proposed approach is exemplified by a case study – a derivation of safe and fault tolerant controller of a heating system.

Development of Fault Tolerant MAS with Cooperative Error Recovery by Refinement in Event-B
Designing fault tolerance mechanisms for multi-agent systems is a notoriously difficult task. In this paper we present an approach to formal development of a fault tolerant multi-agent system by refinement in Event-B. We demonstrate how to formally specify cooperative error recovery and dynamic reconfiguration in Event-B. Moreover, we discuss how to express and verify essential properties of a ...

متن کاملSECTION 1.2 Refinement for Fault-Tolerance: An Aircraft Hand-off Protocol
Part of the Advanced Automation System (AAS) for air-traffic control is a protocol to permit flight hand-off from one air-traffic controller to another. The protocol must be fault-tolerant and, therefore, is subtle—an ideal candidate for the application of formal methods. This paper describes a formal method for deriving fault-tolerant protocols that is based on refinement and proof outlines. T...
