Abstract:

This paper presents an approach to compositional contract-based verification of Simulink models. The verification approach uses Synchronous Data Flow (SDF) graphs as a formalism to obtain sequential program statements that can then be analysed using traditional refinement-based verification techniques. Automatic generation of the proof obligations needed for verification of correctness with respect to contracts, as well as automatic proofs are also discussed.
