Abstract

AVATAR is a real-time extension of SysML supported by the TTool open-source toolkit. So far, formal verification of AVATAR models has relied on reachability techniques that face a state explosion problem. The paper explores a new avenue: applying structural analysis to AVATAR models, so as to identify mutual exclusion situations. In practice, TTool translates a subset of an AVATAR model into a Petri net and solves an equation system built upon the incidence matrix of the net. TTool implements a push-button approach and displays verification results at the AVATAR model level. The approach is not restricted to AVATAR and may be adapted to other UML profiles.
