Formal Analysis of Control Software for Cyber-Physical Systems

Modern Cyber-Physical Systems are often driven by a plethora of controllers that are connected with each other and their environment. To guarantee a safe and robust execution of the systems, their control units have to strictly fulfill certain properties which calls for the use of formal analysis methods in the software development process. We present the combination of the model-based engineering technique Reactive Blocks and the spatiotemporal analysis tool BeSpaceD facilitating the formal verification of controller software.
