Automatic Verification: A Money Saver
Testing without automation tends to discover errors towards the end of the design
flow. Error fixing is very expensive at that point and may delay product release.
Methods to discover errors as soon as possible are needed.

Hybrid Systems
Hybrid Systems are systems with discrete as well as
continuous state variables. Typically requirements analysis for
embedded software/hardware leads to study verification of
hybrid systems.
Examples of hybrid systems:
• Industrial Plants
• Automotive systems (cost of software in new cars compares
with that of the mechanics)
• Avionics
• Biological models
•…

PLAN
• Build discrete time model of ICARO Turbogas Control
System.
• Code system model with Murphi verifier.
This is very similar to simulation code, only more abstract because of
model checking limitations (state explosion).
• Run verification experiments.

Probabilistic Model Checking (1)
Sometimes we can associate a probability with each transition. In such cases
reachability analysis becomes the task of computing the stationary distribution of a
Markov Chain. This can be done using a Probabilistic Model Checker (state space
too big for matrices).

Summing Up
Automatic Verification (reachability analysis) is a very useful tool for design and
analysis of complex systems such as: digital hardware, embedded software and
hybrid systems.
Automatic Verification allows us to:
Decrease the probability of leaving undetected bugs in our design, thus increasing
design quality.
Speed up the testing/simulation process, thus decreasing costs and time-to-market.
Early error detection, thus decreasing design costs.
Support exploration of more complex, hopefully more efficient, solutions by supporting
their debugging.

Adoption Paths
• Integrating Automatic Verification in Design Flow
(to reach state of the art)
• Custom Model Checker
(for competitive advantage, to go beyond state of the art)
