Download or read book Composing Model-Based Analysis Tools written by Robert Heinrich. This book was released on 2021-12-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents joint works of members of the software engineering and formal methods communities with representatives from industry, with the goal of establishing the foundations for a common understanding of the needs for more flexibility in model-driven engineering. It is based on the Dagstuhl Seminar 19481 „Composing Model-Based Analysis Tools“, which was held November 24 to 29, 2019, at Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, where current challenges, their background and concepts to address them were discussed. The book is structured in two parts, and organized around five fundamental core aspects of the subject: (1) the composition of languages, models and analyses; (2) the integration and orchestration of analysis tools; (3) the continual analysis of models; (4) the exploitation of results; and (5) the way to handle uncertainty in model-based developments. After a chapter on foundations and common terminology and a chapter on challenges in the field, one chapter is devoted to each of the above five core aspects in the first part of the book. These core chapters are accompanied by additional case studies in the second part of the book, in which specific tools and experiences are presented in more detail to illustrate the concepts and ideas previously introduced. The book mainly targets researchers in the fields of software engineering and formal methods as well as software engineers from industry with basic familiarity with quality properties, model-driven engineering and analysis tools. From reading the book, researchers will receive an overview of the state-of-the-art and current challenges, research directions, and recent concepts, while practitioners will be interested to learn about concrete tools and practical applications in the context of case studies.

Book excerpt: This thesis presents our method to integrate formal methods with model-driven engineering. Although a large amount of literature exists with the goal of facilitating the adoption of formal methods for educational and industrial practice, yet the adoption of formal methods in academia and industry is poor. The goal of this research is to improve the adoption of formal methods by automating the generation of formal methods code while maintaining scalability and bridging the gaps between formal analysis and actual implementation of the complete system. Our approach is based on generating formal representations of software abstractions expressed in a textual language, called Umple, which is derived from UML. Software abstractions of interest include class models and state machines. For state machines, we address concerns such as composite and concurrent states separately. The resulting systems are analyzable by back-end analysis engines such as Alloy and nuXmv or NuSMV for model checking. To ensure correctness of our approach, we have adopted simulation, empirical studies and rigorous test-driven development (TDD) methodologies. To guarantee correctness of state machine systems under analysis (SSUAs), we present methods to automatically generate specifications to analyze domain-independent properties such as non-determinism and reachability analysis. We apply these methods in various case studies; certify their conformance with sets of requirements and uncover certain flaws. Our contributions include a) The overall approach, involving having the developer write the system in Umple and generating both the formal system for analysis and the final code from the same model; b) a novel approach to encode SSUAs even in the presence of and-cross transitions; c) a fully automated approach to certify an SSUA to be free from nondeterminism even in the presence of unbounded domains and multiple and-cross transitions within the same enclosing orthogonal state; d) an empirical study of the impact of abstraction on some performance parameters; and e) a translator from Umple to Alloy and SMV.

Book Synopsis Formal Methods for Software Engineering by : Markus Roggenbach

Download or read book Formal Methods for Software Engineering written by Markus Roggenbach. This book was released on 2022-06-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software programs are formal entities with precise meanings independent of their programmers, so the transition from ideas to programs necessarily involves a formalisation at some point. The first part of this graduate-level introduction to formal methods develops an understanding of what constitutes formal methods and what their place is in Software Engineering. It also introduces logics as languages to describe reasoning and the process algebra CSP as a language to represent behaviours. The second part offers specification and testing methods for formal development of software, based on the modelling languages CASL and UML. The third part takes the reader into the application domains of normative documents, human machine interfaces, and security. Use of notations and formalisms is uniform throughout the book. Topics and features: Explains foundations, and introduces specification, verification, and testing methods Explores various application domains Presents realistic and practical examples, illustrating concepts Brings together contributions from highly experienced educators and researchers Offers modelling and analysis methods for formal development of software Suitable for graduate and undergraduate courses in software engineering, this uniquely practical textbook will also be of value to students in informatics, as well as to scientists and practical engineers, who want to learn about or work more effectively with formal theories and methods. Markus Roggenbach is a Professor in the Dept. of Computer Science of Swansea University. Antonio Cerone is an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Computer Science of Nazarbayev University, Nur-Sultan. Bernd-Holger Schlingloff is a Professor in the Institut für Informatik of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Gerardo Schneider is a Professor in the Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering of University of Gothenburg. Siraj Ahmed Shaikh is a Professor in the Institute for Future Transport and Cities of Coventry University. The companion site for the book offers additional resources, including further material for selected chapters, prepared lab classes, a list of errata, slides and teaching material, and virtual machines with preinstalled tools and resources for hands-on experience with examples from the book.
