| Description: |
FIACRE (Format Intermédiaire pour les Architectures de
Composants Répartis Embarqués) is a formal
intermediate model to represent the behavioural and timing aspects
of systems (in particular embedded and distributed systems) for formal
verification and simulation purposes. Fiacre embeds the notions of
process, to describe the behaviour of sequential components, and of
composition of processes communicating through ports.
FIACRE was designed in the framework of projects dealing with model-driven engineering. It is designed both as the target language of model transformation engines from various models such as SDL or UML, and as the source language of compilers into the targeted verification toolboxes, namely CADP and TINA in the first step. It was primarily inspired from two works, namely V-Cotre and NTIF, as well as decades of research on concurrency theory and real-time systems theory. FLAC is a compiler from FIACRE 2.0 into the language LOTOS. This enables FIACRE descriptions to be verified using CADP. FLAC was developed in SML, principally by Xavier Clerc and Frederic Lang in the framework of the colaborative projects OpenEmbeDD and TOPCASED. |
| Conclusions: |
The source code of the FLAC compiler is publicly available on-line
from the INRIA Forge at:
https://gforge.inria.fr/projects/fiacre-compil
FLAC was used successfully to verify an Air Traffic Control Subsystem, described at: http://cadp.inria.fr/case-studies/09-l-atc.html |
