Formal Model Based Safety Analysis Methods and the Application

The definition, usage, strengths, and weaknesses of the formal methods used in safety assessment area are introduced. The description of different types of formal methods, such as SysML, AltaRica, and AADL, are also included in this chapter. The usage of formal methods in the hardware and software design and testing area is shown in Sections 10.3.2 and 10.3.3. Finally, a case study is presented, namely, the safety assessment for civil airborne electrical power control system using the formal method.
