The Simulink/Stateflow (SL/SF) modeling framework is widely used in industry for the development of control applications. However, such models are not amenable to formal reasoning. Controllers can also be designed using formal specification languages. Such designs can be formally verified, but the models do not explicitly represent control or data flow information. In this paper, we discuss RRM...

A correct system design is systematically obtained from the SA/RT requirements specification model of a real-time system. The aim of the systematic procedure is to obtain a complete model in the Matlab/Simulink/Stateflow framework for solving a realistic industrial problem, namely, to control an AC motor that must be able to maintain a constant air flow through a filter. The article also discus...

We propose a method tailored to the requirements of safety-critical embedded automotive software, named CTMCONTROL. CTMCONTROL has a particular focus on the specification-based control logic of the system under test and offers improvements in testing coverage metrics over a classic method which is routinely used in industry. The proposed method targets the Modified Condition/ Decision Coverage ...

This paper presents an energy management strategy based on the multilevel hierarchical control for the parallel Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). The simulation model of this energy management strategy is constructed by using Matlab/Simulink/Stateflow and is optimized by applying the genetic algorithm. Under the satisfaction with the vehicle dynamic property and the balance of the state of charg...

In this chapter, we summarize our experience on combing formal and informal methods together in the design of spacecrafts. With our approach, the designer can either build an executable model of a spacecraft using the industrial standard environment Simulink/Stateflow, which facilitates analysis by simulation, or construct a formal model using Hybrid CSP (HCSP), which is an extension of CSP for...
