Modelling and Certifying Smart Cities in Reo Circuits

Monitoring and using city devices to improve the life-quality of citizens is currently a challenge. Such devices, as traffic lights and cameras, have been providing data to assist decisions to improve the functionality of cities. Verifying and certifying the systems used for critical decisions is one of the challenges that still require some effort. Reo takes advantage of a formal logic-based framework which makes possible to reason, guarantee requirements, absence of described failures and provide certified software (i.e. proved-to-be-correct regarding the specification). This work is tailored to show how to use Reo to model Smart Cities software interaction compiling to an automated logic model able to guarantee the required constraints in a certified system.
