Formal Model Engineering for Embedded Systems Using Real-Time Maude
This paper motivates why Real-Time Maude should be well suited to provide a
formal semantics and formal analysis capabilities to modeling languages for
embedded systems. One can then use the code generation facilities of the tools
for the modeling languages to automatically synthesize Real-Time Maude
verification models from design models, enabling a formal model engineering
process that combines the convenience of modeling using an informal but
intuitive modeling language with formal verification. We give a brief overview
six fairly different modeling formalisms for which Real-Time Maude has provided
the formal semantics and (possibly) formal analysis. These models include
behavioral subsets of the avionics modeling standard AADL, Ptolemy II
discrete-event models, two EMF-based timed model transformation systems, and a
modeling language for handset software.Comment: In Proceedings AMMSE 2011, arXiv:1106.596
Twenty years of rewriting logic
AbstractRewriting logic is a simple computational logic that can naturally express both concurrent computation and logical deduction with great generality. This paper provides a gentle, intuitive introduction to its main ideas, as well as a survey of the work that many researchers have carried out over the last twenty years in advancing: (i) its foundations; (ii) its semantic framework and logical framework uses; (iii) its language implementations and its formal tools; and (iv) its many applications to automated deduction, software and hardware specification and verification, security, real-time and cyber-physical systems, probabilistic systems, bioinformatics and chemical systems
