报告简介：
I will report our recent work on model-based formal design of embedded systems. In our approach, one can build a graphical model of a system to be developed with the combination of AADL and Simulink/Stateflow, called AADL+S/S, and then conduct extensive simulation. In order to formally verify the graphical model, we translate AADL+S/S models into HCSP automatically. HCSP is a formal modeling language for hybrid systems, which is an extension of CSP by introducing differential equations to model continuous evolution and several kinds of interrupts to model the interaction between continuous evolution and discrete jumps. Using Hybrid Hoare Logic and its theorem prover, the translated HCSP formal model can be verified. In order to justify the correctness of the translation, we give an inverse translation from HCSP to Simulink, so that the consistency can be checked by co-simulation. Also, we define formal semantics of AADL+S/S and HCSP with UTP so that the correctness of the bidirection translation can be proved theoretically. Finally, we propose the notion of approximate bisimulation for HCSP so that we can discretise a given HCSP process correctly in the sense of approximate bisimulation. Based on which, we define a set of refinement rules through which we can refine an HCSP process into a piece of SystemC or ANSI-C code, which is approximate bisimilar to the original HCSP process. All the above are supported by a tool chain called MARS. We have applied the above approach to design some real-world case studies.
