  2. Talk Outline • Current trends in embedded software • Hierarchic mode diagrams [POPL00,TOPLAS03] • Modular reasoning [POPL00,ASE01,TOPLAS03] • Efficient analysis [CAV00,CAV03,ICSE01] • Extensions and tools [ASE01,HSCC00-01,EW02] • Current research projects [Career02,Reuters02]

  3. A Quiet Computing Revolution • Most computation no longer occurs on PCs and servers but rather in embedded devices like: • automobiles, cell phones, insulin pumps and aircraft. • The extent of the embedded systems revolution can be seen in a In-Stat/MDR report : • 5.7 billion embedded microprocessors shipped in 2001 • 98% of all shipped microprocessors • 11% forecasted annual growth through 2006.

  4. Embedded Controllers • Control functionality of embedded processors: • Traditionally it wasapplication specific and with minimal amount of software. • Today itdemands sophisticated services such as networking capabilities and preemptive scheduling, and is typically implemented in software (EOSs). • The cost of software-enabled control: • Continental estimates it to 18% of the total cost of a vehicle in 2010. • For the automotive industry the cost was half of Microsoft revenue in 2001.

  5. Embedded Software Properties • Written in high level programming languages: • Typically in C but increasingly in Java or C++. • Very stringent dependability requirements: • human safety, consumer expectations, liability and government regulation • BMW recalled 15,000 7-series sedans in 2002 at an estimated cost of $50 million. • Very difficult to debug because of: • concurrency, interrupts, exceptions, process scheduling and hardware-in-the-loop.

  6. Trends in Assuring Dependability • Maturity and convergence of various methods: • Theorem provers, model checkers and compilers use each other techniques, • Run-time verification and testing tools use formal models to derive monitors and tests. • Typical techniques to combat state explosion: • Efficient data structures, • Refinement and abstraction, • Modular reasoning.

  7. Integrative Model • Hierarchic state machines as common model: • As properties: omega/tree automata, • As designs: finite observation (Kripke) structures, • As code: structured control-flow graphs. • Advantages of using this model: • Support: CAV and compiler-based techniques, • Abstraction: navigate between code and properties, • Structure: modular reasoning and state exploration, • Appeal: software engineers happy (UML, SDL).

  8. Hierarchic Reactive Modules • Hierarchic state machine model featuring: • hierarchic states, state sharing, • group transitions, history. • Observational trace semantics: • state refinement, • compositional and assume/guarantee reasoning. • Efficient model checking • Symbolic as well as enumerative, • Heuristics to exploit the hierarchical structure.

  11. Hierarchic Behavior Diagrams • Software engineering • Statecharts: introduced in 1987 byDavid Harel, • Key component in OO Methods: UML, ROOM, OMT, etc, • Event based. • Formal methods • Informal diagrams: for LTSs (CCS or CSP processes), • Proof diagrams: for FTS (Pnueli, Manna) • Event based and state-based respectively. • Compilers (program analysis) • Structured control-flow graphs, • State-based (variables), entry/exit points, • Sequential programs: no trace semantics or refinement rules.

Modes and Contexts ini onH onH call ini offH idle rtE rtB ringing rtB answ offH onHook A mode (context) is a tuple (C,V,SM,T) consisting of: • Control points C = E  X: • Entry points E: finite set. • Exit points X: finite set • Variables V = Vr  Vw  Vl: • Read variables Vr: finite set • Write variables Vw: finite set • Local variables Vl: finite set • Submodes mSM visible or not: • m.Vr  Vr  Vl, m.Vw Vw  Vl • Transitions (e,,x): • e  E  SM.X, x  X  SM.E •   Vr Vl Vw Vl read ti : TelI; write to : TelO; local nr : (0..n)

  15. Modular Reasoning • Terminology • Compositional and assume/guarantee reasoning based on observable behaviors. • Application area • Only recently is being automated by model checkers, • Until now restricted to architecture hierarchies. • Compositional Reasoning • Central to many formalisms: CCS, I/O Automata,TLA, etc. • Circular Assume/Guarantee Reasoning • Validonly when the interaction of a module with its environment is non-blocking.
