K-Induction Based Verification of Real-Time Safety Critical Systems

  • Conference paper

Part of the Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing book series (AISC,volume 224)

Abstract

Nowadays, safety critical systems are often complex, real-time systems requiring formal methods to prove the correctness of their behavior. This work presents a framework that supports modeling and model checking such systems. We adapted an existing formalism to provide better modeling and model checking support. Using this formalism, we extended a k-induction based model checking approach: we defined a procedure to handle both safety and liveness properties, and developed methods to find invariants. We implemented a toolchain for this workflow and evaluated our methods in an industrial case study.

Keywords

  • Model Check
  • Linear Temporal Logic
  • Liveness Property
  • Eclipse Modeling Framework
  • Model Check Problem

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
