Abstract:
This paper presents and discusses a case study that applies techniques of simulation together with techniques of formal verification. A new approach in the plant modelling for formal verification of timed systems is presented. The modelling of the plant was performed by using the object-oriented language Modelica with the library for hierarchical state machines StateGraph and the simulation results were used as input for the formal verification tasks, using the model checker UPPAAL. It is presented, in a more detailed way, the part of this work that is related to the plant simulation.
