Abstract

Real-time systems must be properly validated and verified before their manufacturing and deployment in order to increase their reliability and reduce their maintenance cost. Models have been used for a long time to build complex systems, in virtually every engineering field. This is because they provide invaluable help in making important design decisions before the system is implemented. In this paper, the authors propose an approach based on model transformation to apply formal verification techniques to demonstrate the correctness of system designs. At the first step, they describe real-time systems by state chart (machine) diagrams, as source models to generate RT-Maude models (target models). The second step is to use the result models to verify the real-time systems against specified LTL properties using Maude LTL Model-Checker. This approach is illustrated through an example.
