… For formal verification we will use a technique known as Symbolic Model Checking, a … The
purpose of this thesis is to formally verify Sequential Function Charts (SFC). SFC is one of the …

… Second, we do not model explicitly step actions; we just model … Third, we do not model
priorities among branches in a selection … Zhou, “Design and analysis of sequential function charts …

… in some cases, we refer to the formal defmition given in [4]. The translation scheme of the
SFC model into a synchronous model has been designed using syntax directed translation …

… Next, we present the formal syntax for sequential function charts. Key points are orderings
on the steps as well as on the transitions. These allow to determine in which order actions are …

… any models of any high-level and even formal modeling paradigm. Thus, merely the use of
formal … , we define a partial abstraction functions F to serve as a proof maps. The abstraction …

… our formal syntax and semantics in UPPAAL model checker to develop the automatic
verification tool-chain. In section 4, the evaluation of our tool-chain using our bench-scale model is …

set of functions … this paper compile to state machines and model-check within about 1 minute. …

… all used models are verified, including individual device models. This paper proposes an
approach to formally verify the correctness of device models described as UML State Charts, by …

… The analysis tool (optionally) composes the controller with a formal model of the plant and
checks the validity of a formalized representation of the requirements. The plant model is also …

… , and to use formal models and algorithmic procedures wherever … to model the controller as
