Towards Formal Description of Standards for Automotive Operating Systems

The OSEK/VDX specification is a standard for automotive operating systems, i.e., operating systems for mobile vehicles. The specification is described in a natural language. Thus, it is difficult to verify the conformity that the automotive operating systems follow this standard due to its ambiguity. We think that such standard has to be formally described enough to ensure that final products conform to the standard. In this paper, we propose a framework for formalization of the OSEK/VDX specification.
