Abstract
We describe a formal verification toolchain for AADL, the SAE Architecture Analysis and Design Language, enriched with its behavioral annex. Our approach is based on tools that are integrated in the Topcased environment. We give a high-level view of the tools involved and illustrate the successive transformations that take place during the verification process.
This work was partly supported by the French AESE project Topcased, The ANR project OpenEmbeDD, and by region Midi-Pyrénées.
