ELS
This page presents the resources relevant for the modelling and subsequent validation and verification of an Automotive Adaptive Exterior Light System (ELS) in Electrum, developed as an answer to the ABZ 2020 call for case study contributions, mainly based on the reference document v1.17 and the validation sequences v1.8.
The Electrum models for the ELS are presented in detail in the ABZ'20 paper. To handle the multiple variants of ELS, several approaches where explored, resulting in different models:
- Distinct Electrum model for each variant (there are only 4 effectively distinct variants):
- A single model in pure Electrum model under a variability idiom
- A single "colourful" Electrum model under an extension for feature annotations.
The following theme can be applied to all the above models for improved visualisation in the Electrum Analyzer.
The colourful Electrum was adapted from the following publication for Alloy, and an experimental version of the Analyzer is available here.
A validator for the reference validation sequences has been developed that converts CSV sequences into Electrum and back. To use it simply run from the command line:
java -jar els-validator-v0.1.jar AdaptiveExteriorLight_multi.ele seq.csv
where seq.csv represents a validation sequence in CSV as described in the pre-print, which essentially adds header information to the provided spreadsheet format from the case study call. The values of the CSV are converted into the provided Electrum model and tested for validity. To see the actually generated Electrum formula for the provided sequence, pass the option --pred to the validator.
If cells are left empty in the CSV their values will be free in the Electrum encoding and solved during analysis. This allows domain experts to define sequences of input signals, let Electrum find acceptable values for the output signals, and then validate the results. To see the solutions back into CSV, including the assignments to empty cells, pass the option --csv to the validator.
Below are the 9 reference validation sequences in the accepted CSV format:
- Validation sequence 1
- Validation sequence 2
- Validation sequence 3
- Validation sequence 4
- Validation sequence 5
- Validation sequence 6
- Validation sequence 7
- Validation sequence 8
- Validation sequence 9
Sequence 7 has been fixed for what are, in our perspective, inconsistencies with the requirements. Sequence 9 has been adapted due to the lack of arithmetic support of our approach. The Electrum encoding for the sequences has also been integrated in the models provided above for validation within the Analyzer.
Some of these sequences but with only the input signals defined are also available for output generation:
