Using the Hybrid Systems Interchange Format to Input Design Models to Verification & Validation Tools

The domain of hybrid systems lacks the set of mature tools which can reliably apply verification and validation (V&V) techniques for all kinds of systems. Currently, no single tool supports analysis, simulation, verification, validation, and code synthesis of controllers for hybrid systems. As such, it becomes necessary to depend on several tools for analysis of different aspects of the system. This paper describes the utilization of the definition of a system in more than one toolsuite, while reducing the required effort for the same engineers that design the controllers to interface to the V&V toolsuites
