A Roadmap to Pervasive Systems Verification

yesThe complexity of pervasive systems arises from the many different aspects that such systems possess. A typical pervasive system may be autonomous, distributed, concurrent and context-based, and may involve humans and robotic devices working together. If we wish to formally verify the behaviour of such systems, the formal methods for pervasive systems will surely also be complex. In this paper, we move towards being able to formally verify pervasive systems and outline our approach wherein we distinguish four distinct dimensions within pervasive system behaviour and utilise different, but appropriate, formal techniques for verifying each one.EPSR

Modelling and validating an engineering application in kernel P systems

© 2018, Springer International Publishing AG. This paper illustrates how kernel P systems (kP systems) can be used for modelling and validating an engineering application, in this case a cruise control system of an electric bike. The validity of the system is demonstrated via formal verification, carried out using the kPWorkbench tool. Furthermore, we show how the kernel P system model can be tested using automata and X-machine based techniques

A review of modelling and verification approaches for computational biology

This paper reviews most frequently used computational modelling approaches and formal verification techniques in computational biology. The paper also compares a number of model checking tools and software suits used in analysing biological systems and biochemical networks and verifiying a wide range of biological properties
