SCADE is both a formal language and a model-based development environment, widely used to build and verify the models of safety-critical system (SCS). The SCADE Design Verifier (DV) provides SAT-based verification. However, DV cannot adequately express complex temporal specifications, and it may fail due to complexity problems such as floating numbers which are often used in the aeronautics domain. In addition, manually writing temporal specifications is not only time-consuming but also error-prone. To address these challenges, we propose an AGVTS method that can automate the task of generating temporal specifications and verifying aeronautics SCADE models. At first, we define a modular pattern language for precisely expressing Chinese natural language requirements. Then, we present a rule-based translation augmented with BERT, which translates restricted requirements into LTL and CTL. In addition, SCADE model verification is achieved by transforming it into nuXmv which supports both SMT-based and SAT-based verification. Finally, we illustrate a successful application of our methodology with an ejection seat control system, and convince our industrial partners of the usefulness of formal methods for industrial systems.

摘要

SCADE is both a formal language and a model-based development environment, widely used to build and verify the models of safety-critical system (SCS). The SCADE Design Verifier (DV) provides SAT-based verification. However, DV cannot adequately express complex temporal specifications, and it may fail due to complexity problems such as floating numbers which are often used in the aeronautics domain. In addition, manually writing temporal specifications is not only time-consuming but also error-prone. To address these challenges, we propose an AGVTS method that can automate the task of generating temporal specifications and verifying aeronautics SCADE models. At first, we define a modular pattern language for precisely expressing Chinese natural language requirements. Then, we present a rule-based translation augmented with BERT, which translates restricted requirements into LTL and CTL. In addition, SCADE model verification is achieved by transforming it into nuXmv which supports both SMT-based and SAT-based verification. Finally, we illustrate a successful application of our methodology with an ejection seat control system, and convince our industrial partners of the usefulness of formal methods for industrial systems.
