Title
Comprehensive verification framework for dependability of self-optimizing systems
Abstract
By integrating formal specification and formal verification into the design phase of a system development process, the correctness of the system can be ensured to a great extent. However, it is not sufficient for a self-optimizing system that needs to exchange its components safely and consistently over time. Therefore, this paper presents a comprehensive verification framework to guarantee the dependability of such a self-optimizing system at the design phase (off-line verification) as well as at the runtime phase (on-line verification). The proposed verification framework adopts AsmL as intermediate representation for the system specification and on-the-fly model checking technique for alleviating the state space explosion problem. The off and the on -line verifications are performed at (RT-UML) model level. The properties to be checked are expressed by RT-OCL where the underlying temporal logic is restricted to time-annotated ACTL/LTL formulae. In particular, the on-line verification is achieved by running the on-the-fly model checking interleaved with the execution of the checked system in a pipelined manner.
