Exploring specification pattern based behavioral synthesis with scenario clauses

Abstract

The Software Engineering community has identified behavioral specification as one of the main challenges to be addressed for the transference of formal verification techniques such as model checking. In particular, expressivity of the specification language is a key factor, especially when dealing with open systems and controllability of events. In this work we present an extension of the FVS language to denote behavior in open systems. By relying on an existing behavioral synthesis technique based on the specification patterns we show how FVS specification can be used as input to automatically build a controller from its specification.
