Abstract

With wide application of wireless sensor technology, more and more physical devices are being connected to Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs). On the other hand, CPS applications have made their way into the domain of Safety-Critical Systems (SCSs), where there is a higher requirement for temporal correctness of cooperative behaviors of physical devices. Therefore, it has been becoming a challenging task for practicing engineers to ensure temporal correctness of cooperative behaviors. In practice, practicing engineers mainly depend on graphic modeling methods or formal modeling methods to analyse cooperative behaviors. However, since different methods have their own features, a single method can’t ensure temporal correctness of cooperative behaviors very well. To address this issue, in this paper, a 3-layer method, consisting of the graphic modeling layer, the formal specification layer, and the formal verification layer, is proposed. This method combines the advantages of graphic methods and formal methods and can provide a more thorough analysis for cooperative behaviors. Moreover, due to adoption of 3-layer architecture, this method has a good extensibility in structure. The usability of the proposed method is illustrated by a practical application scenario.
