A Contract-Based Requirement Engineering Framework for the Design of Industrial Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract

This work-in-progress paper presents our current effort toward the development of compositional modeling formalisms and scalable algorithms for high-assurance design of industrial cyber-physical systems, with emphasis on smart manufacturing systems. A require-ment engineering methodology is implemented within CHASE, a software framework supporting contract-based representations of systems and components to facilitate analysis and design space exploration. We provide an overview of CHASE and discuss its application to the design of a robotic arm. This paper is accompanied by a poster describing the architecture of CHASE and a demonstration of its application to the case study.
