ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a context-dependent requirements analysis method called CAMEmb (Context Analysis Method for Embedded systems) consisting of UML-based context modeling and formal verification support. In CAMEmb, a context model is constructed from initial system requirements by using a UML Profile for Context Analysis. This context model clarifies the relations among hardware components and contexts. After that, the context model is verified in order to check whether a target system behaves correctly under the expected contexts.

Using MDE for the formal verification of embedded systems modeled by UML sequence diagrams
SBCCI '09: Proceedings of the 22nd Annual Symposium on Integrated Circuits and System Design: Chip on the DunesThis work presents a formal verification methodology that adopts concepts from Model Driven Engineering (MDE) for the automatic generation of a network of timed automata from the functional specification of an embedded application described using UML ...
Business processes contextualisation via context analysis
ER'10: Proceedings of the 29th international conference on Conceptual modelingContext-awareness has emerged as a new perspective for business process modelling. Even though some works have studied it, many challenges have not been addressed yet. There is a clear need for approaches that (i) facilitate the identification of the ...
HW/SW co-verification of embedded systems using bounded model checking
GLSVLSI '06: Proceedings of the 16th ACM Great Lakes symposium on VLSIToday, the underlying hardware of embedded systems is often verified successfully. In this context formal verification techniques allow to prove the functional correctness. But in embedded system design the integration of software components becomes ...
