| Practical Model Checking to Enforce Domain Specific Interfaces | |
| Point of Contact |
Michael Hieber Michael.A.Hieber@saic.com |
| Dates | January 2004 - October 2006 |
| Problem | Domain-specific interfaces and requirements must be checked to ensure the integrity of complex software systems. Today, checking requirements is very time-intensive and expensive because most of it must be done manually. Error-finding tools like FlexeLint are neither powerful enough nor customizable enough to check complicated interface rules. The SPIN model checker only works on finite state machine systems, not C/C++ code. In contrast, push-down model checking is naturally suited to checking C/C++ code because of its stack-based nature. This initiative will explore the use of push-down model-checking technology to automate the checking of domain-specific NASA requirements. |
| Objective | By December 2006, SAIC and GrammaTech will have developed and integrated model-checking queries to automate NASA IV&V inspection tasks. By December 2004, we will have selected a specific NASA project, implemented pilot queries, and tested the queries on the code. By December 2005, additional queries will have been selected, implemented, and evaluated. By December 2006, the queries will have been abstracted so they can easily be adapted to new projects, and the model-checking techniques will be ready for integration into the NASA IV&V process. |
