No. of bitstreams: 1 6812.pdf: 4823701 bytes, checksum: d6b0f954a2db7f87a5e2bcda3295cb11 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-05-30 / Context: Usually, developers of Embedded Systems (ESs) start the development from models next to the code generation phase, for example, SysML diagrams and Simulink models. Despite the whole use of these models by the ES community, there is a lack of Verification and Validation activities (V&V). The certification standards operate, mainly, on code level. Aim:to define a family of reading techniques Reading Techniques for SysML and Simulink (RTSS) that supports the inspection of these diagrams and models, aiming to improve the process and product quality through defects identification, as soon as artifacts are elaborated. Method: the reading techniques were defined based on a systematic process and they support pairs of artifacts. They take some international certification standards into account, as well as elements from the structure of SysML and Simulink languages. Besides, aiming to suggest the use of these techniques inside a development process, the SYSMOD process was took as reference, since it adopts SysML diagrams and Simulink models along its phases. For evaluating the RTSS techniques two controlled experiments and three case studies were conducted as the techniques were elaborated. Results: the results showed that it is feasible to use the techniques and that they are able to detect defects on the pair of artifacts for the ones they were designed. In addition, it was observed that defects that were not identified and corrected inside the phase they were generated, were propagated to the subsequent phases. Conclusion: Based on these results, we can conclude that the RTSS techniques are able to detect defects as the artifacts are elaborated, avoiding their propagation to further phases. This fact can improve both the process and the product besides minimize the rework and the cost of correcting defects in further phases. Finally, we observed that the techniques can be applied even the SYSMOD process is not being used. In this case, it is enough that the pair of artifacts dialed by each technique is available. / Contexto:Em geral, os desenvolvedores de Sistemas Embarcados (SEs) iniciam tais sistemas a partir da elaboração dos diagramas mais próximos da fase de geração de código, como por exemplo, alguns diagramas SysML e o modelo Simulink. Apesar do amplo uso de tais diagramas pela comunidade de SEs, observa-se uma carência por atividades de Verificação e Validação (V&V). As normas de certificação existentes atuam, principalmente, no nível de código. Objetivo:definir uma família de técnicas de leitura Reading Techniques for SysML and Simulink (RTSS) que dê suporte à atividade de inspeção desses tipos dos diagramas, com o intuito de melhorar a qualidade do processo e do produto gerado, identificando defeitos tão logo os artefatos sejam construídos. Metodologia: as técnicas de leitura foram definidas por meio de um processo sistemático e dão suporte à inspeção de pares deartefatos. Elas levam em consideração algumas normas internacionais de certificação de SEs, além de elementos pertinentes às estruturas das linguagens SysML e Simulink. Além disso, para propiciar o uso das técnicas ao longo de um processo de desenvolvimento, utilizou-se como referência o processo SYSMOD, que adota diagramas SysML e modelos Simulink ao longo de suas fases. Para avaliar as técnicas RTSS foram conduzidos dois experimentos controlados e três exemplos de aplicação,à medida que as técnicas foram elaboradas.Resultados: os resultados mostraram que as técnicas são viáveis de serem utilizadas e que elas são capazes de identificar defeitos nos pares de artefatos para os quais elas foram projetadas. Além disso, constatou-se que defeitos que não foram identificados e corrigidos em uma determinada fase do desenvolvimento, foram propagados para fases subsequentes. Conclusão: Com base nesses resultados, pode-se concluir que as técnicas RTSS são capazes de detectar defeitos à medida que os artefatos são construídos, evitando que eles sejam propagados para fases futuras. Isso pode melhorar a qualidade do processo e do produto e pode também minimizar o retrabalho e o custo de se corrigir um defeito em fases adiantadas. Adicionalmente, as técnicas podem ser aplicadas mesmo que o processo SYSMOD não seja adotado, bastando que se tenha disponível o par de artefatos que é tratado em cada uma das técnicas.

Au niveau système, un ensemble d'experts spécifient des propriétés fonctionnelles et non fonctionnelles en utilisant chacun leurs propres modèles théoriques, outils et environnements. Chacun essaye d'utiliser les formalismes les plus adéquats en fonction des propriétés à vérifier. Cependant, chacune des vues d'expertise pour un domaine s'appuie sur un socle commun et impacte direct ou indirectement les modèles décrits par les autres experts. Il est donc indispensable de maintenir une cohérence sémantique entre les différents points de vue, et de pouvoir réconcilier et agréger chacun des points de vue avant de poursuivre les différentes phases d'analyse. Cette thèse propose un modèle, dénommé PRISMSYS, qui s'appuie sur une approche multi-vue dirigée par les modèles et dans laquelle pour chacun des domaines, chaque expert décrit les concepts de son domaine et la relation que ces concepts entretiennent avec le modèle socle. L'approche permet de maintenir la cohérence sémantique entre les différentes vues à travers la manipulation d'événements et d'horloges logiques. PRISMSYS est basé sur un profil UML qui s'appuie autant que possible sur les profils SysML et MARTE. Le modèle sémantique qui maintien la cohérence est spécifié avec le langage CCSL qui est un langage formel déclaratif pour la spécification de relations causales et temporelles entre les événements de différentes vues. L'environnement proposé par PRISMSYS permet la co-simulation du modèle et l'analyse. L'approche est illustrée en s'appuyant sur une architecture matérielle dans laquelle le domaine d'analyse privilégié est un domaine de consommation de puissance. / At the system-level, experts specify functional and non-functional properties by employing their own theoretical models, tools and environments. Such experts attempt to use the most adequate formalisms to verify the defined system properties in a specific domain. Nevertheless, each one of these experts' views is supported on a common base and impacts directly or indirectly the models described by the other experts. Therefore, it is essential to keep a semantic coherence among the different points of view, and also to be able to reconcile and to include all the points of view before undertaking the different phases of the analysis. This thesis proposes a specific domain model called PRISMSYS. This model is based on a model-driven multi-view approach where the concepts, and the relationships between them, are described for each experts' domain. Moreover, these concepts maintain a relation with a backbone model. PRISMSYS allows keeping a semantic coherence among the different views by means of the manipulation of events and logical clocks. PRISMSYS is represented in an UML profile, supported as much as possible by SysML and MARTE. The semantic model, which preserves the view coherence, is specified by using CCSL, a declarative formal language for the specification of causal and temporal relationships between events of different views. The environment proposed by PRISMSYS allows the co-simulation of the model and its analysis. The approach is illustrated taking as case study an electronic system, where the main domain analysis is power consumption.

<div>The internal and external interactions between the complex structural and behavioral characteristics of the system of interest and the surrounding environment result in unpredictable emergent behaviors. These emergent behaviors are not well understood, especially when modeled using the traditional top-down systems engineering approach. The intrinsic nature of current complex systems has called for an elegant solution that provides an integrated framework in Model-Based Systems Engineering. A considerable gap exists to integrate system engineering activities and engineering analysis, which results in high risk and cost. This thesis presents a framework that incorporates indefinite and definite modeling aspects that are developed to determine the complexity that arises during the development phases of the system. This framework provides a workflow for modeling complex systems using Systems Modeling Language (SysML) that captures the system’s requirements, behavior, structure, and analytical aspects at both problem definition and solution levels. This research introduces a new level/dimension to the framework to support engineering analysis integrated with the system architecture model using FMI standards. A workflow is provided that provides the enabling methodological capabilities. It starts with a statement of need and ends with system requirement verification. Detailed traceability is established that glues system engineering and engineering analysis together. Besides, a method is proposed for predicting the system’s complexity by calculating the complexity index that can be used to assess the complexity of the existing system and guide the design and development of a new system. To test and demonstrate this framework, a case study consisting of a complex district cooling system is implemented. The case study shows the framework’s capabilities in enabling the successful modeling of a complex district cooling system. The system architecture model was developed using SysML and the engineering analysis model using Modelica. The proposed framework supports system requirements verification activity. The analysis results show that the district chiller model developed using Modelica produces chilled water below 6.6 degrees Celsius, which satisfies the system requirement for the district chiller system captured in the SysML tool. Similarly, many such requirement verification capabilities using dynamic simulation integration with the high-level model provides the ability to perform continuous analysis and simulation during the system development process. The systems architecture complexity index is measured for the district cooling case study from the black-box and white box-perspective. The measured complexity index showed that the system architecture’s behavioral aspect increases exponentially compared to the structural aspect. The systems architecture’s complexity index at black-box and white-box was 4.998 and 67.3927, respectively.</div>

Les solutions basées sur le logiciel/matériel jouent un rôle important dans le domaine de l'automobile. Il est de plus en plus fréquent que l’implémentation de certaines fonctions jusqu’ici réalisées par des composants mécaniques, se fasse dans les véhicules d’aujourd’hui par des composants électroniques embarquant du logiciel. Cette tendance conduit à un grand nombre de fonctions implémentées comme un ensemble de composants logiciels déployés sur unités de commande électronique (ECU). Par conséquent, la quantité de code embarqué dans les automobiles est estimée à des dizaines de giga-octets et le nombre d’ECU de l’ordre de la centaine. Les pratiques actuelles de développement deviennent donc inefficaces et sont en cours d’évolution. L'objectif de cette thèse est de contribuer aux efforts actuels qui consistent à introduire l’utilisation de l'Ingénierie Dirigée par les Modèles dans la conception d’architectures automobiles basées sur le logiciel/matériel. Une première série de contributions de cette thèse porte sur la proposition de techniques pour soutenir les activités décrites dans la méthodologie automobile établie par le langage EAST-ADL2 et le standard AUTOSAR dont l’objectif principal est l'intégration de l'architecture logicielle avec la plate-forme matérielle. Bien que de nombreux travaux sur la synthèse d’architectures existent, cette thèse met en exergue les principaux défauts les empêchant de pleinement supporter la méthodologie EAST-ADL2/AUTOSAR et propose de nouvelles techniques aidant à surmonter les déficiences actuelles. Une deuxième série de contributions concerne les approches de modélisation. L'utilisation de langages de modélisation généralistes (dans le sens non spécifique à un domaine industriel donné) comme SysML et MARTE bien que bénéfique, n'a pas encore trouvé une manière d'être pleinement exploité par les constructeurs automobiles. Cela concerne en particulier la modélisation d’une spécification analysable et l'optimisation des préoccupations qui permettrait d’effectuer des analyses et optimisations à base de modèles. Ce travail définit une méthodologie et les concepts nécessaires à la construction de modèles d'analyse et d'optimisation de ces systèmes. / Hardware/software based solutions play significant role in the automotive domain. It is common that the implementation of certain functions that was done in a mechanical manner, in nowadays cars is done through the software and hardware. This tendency lead to the substantial number of functions operating as a set of software components deployed into hardware entities, i.e. Electronic Control Units (ECU). As a consequence the capacity of the overall code is estimated as tens of gigabytes and the number of ECUs reaches more than 100. Consequently the industrial state of the practice development approaches become inefficient. The objective of this thesis is to add to the current efforts trying to employ the Model Driven Engineering (MDE) in the context of the automotive SW/HW architectures design. First set of contributions relates to the guided strategies supporting the key engineering activities of the automotive methodology established by the EAST-\ADL2 language and the AUTOSAR standard. The main is the integration of the software architecture with the hardware platform. Although the amount of work on the synthesis is substantial, this thesis presents shortcomings of the existing approaches that disable them to fully support the EAST-ADL2/AUTOSAR methodology and delivers new techniques overcoming the current deficiencies. Second contribution concerns approaches for the modeling. Surprisingly the usage of general purpose modeling languages such as the SysML and MARTE although beneficial, haven’t found its way yet to be fully exploited by the automotive OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer). This especially relates to the modeling of the analyzable input and the optimization concerns which would enable triggering of the analysis and optimization directly from the models level. This work shows a way and defines additional concepts, necessary to construct analysis and optimization models.

De nombreux systèmes hétérogènes sont complexes et critiques. Ces systèmes intègrent du logiciel et des composants matériels avec des interactions fortes entre ces composants. Dans ce contexte, il est devenu absolument nécessaire de développer des méthodologies et des techniques pour spéciier et valider ces systèmes.Dans l'ingénierie des systèmes, les exigences sont l'expression des besoins qu'un produit spécifique ou un service doit réaliser. Elles sont définies formellement à de nombreuses occasions dans l'ingénierie des systèmes complexes. Dans ce type de système, deux catégories d'exigence sont présentes : les exigences non-fonctionnelles telles que la performance et la fiabilité, les exigences fonctionnelles telles que la vivacité. Pour valider ces exigences, un environnement permettant de simuler et vérifier ces propriétés est essentiel.Dans notre travail, nous proposons une méthodologie basée sur SysML et combinée avec SystemC et Promela/SPIN pour spéciier et valider des systèmes complexes. Cette approche est basée sur l'ingénierie dirigée par les modèles pour premièrement traduire des modèles SysML en SystemC afin de réaliser des simulations et deuxièmement traduire des diagrammes d'état SysML en Promela/SPINain de vérifier des propriétés temporelles extraites des exigences. Cette approche est expérimentée sur une étude de cas pour démontrer sa faisabilité. / Heterogeneous Systems are complex and become very critical. These systems integrate software andhardware components with intensive interaction between them. In this context, there is a strongnecessity to develop methodologies and techniques to specify and validate these systems.In engineering, the requirements are the expression of needs on what a particular product or a serviceshould be or to make. They are used most of the time in a formal sense in the systems engineering.In this kind of systems, several types of requirements are present: non-functional requirements suchas the performance and the reliability and functional requirements such as the liveliness. To validatethese requirements of a system, an environment to simulate and to check the properties is essential.In our work, we propose a methodology based on SysML combined with SystemC and Promela/SPINto specify and validate complex systems. This approach is based on Model Driven Engineeringtechniques to irstly translate SysML models to systemC with the aim of simulation and to mapSysML behavioral diagrams to Promela/SPIN in order to verify temporal properties extracted fromthe requirements. The approach is experimented on case studies to demonstrate its feasibility.

Ein wesentliches Ziel während der Produktentwicklung ist die frühzeitige Absicherung der Produkteigenschaften auf Basis der definierten Produktmerkmale unter Beachtung der äußeren Randbedingungen. Digitale Modelle und Methoden unterstützen den Produktentwickler bei der frühzeitigen virtuellen Evaluation des Produktes. [...] In diesem Beitrag wird eine Methodik präsentiert, die mit Hilfe der SysML-Modelle eine Simulation in VR ermöglicht. Die SysML-Beschreibung wird als Kern der Simulation dienen und das gesamte Simulationsmodell steuern. Weiterhin wird erläutert, wie die SysML-Beschreibung mit einem VR-Tool und einem Physikberechnungstool verbunden werden kann. Die in CAVE und HMD durchgeführten Simulationen wurden im Rahmen von Usability Tests evaluiert. Aus diesen Tests werden Ergebnisse präsentiert, die sich mit Verwendungsschwerpunkten in VR und der Zufriedenheit bei der Beurteilung von Produkten in VR beschäftigt haben. Schlussendlich wird ein Beispiel-Simulationsszenario in der CAVE-VR und einem Head Mounted Display (HMD) diskutiert. [... aus der Einleitung]

L'intégration de diverses technologies, notamment celles de l'informatique et l'électronique, fait que les systèmes conçus de nos jours sont de plus en plus complexes. Ils ont des comportements plus élaborés et plus difficiles à prévoir, ont un nombre de constituants en interaction plus important et/ou réalisent des fonctions de plus haut niveau. Parallèlement à cette complexification des systèmes, la compétitivité du marché mondial impose aux développeurs de systèmes des contraintes de coût et de délais de plus en plus strictes. La même course s'opère concernant la qualité des systèmes, notamment lorsque ceuxci mettent en jeu un risque en vies humaines ou un risque financier important. Ainsi, les développeurs sont contraints d'adopter une approche de conception rigoureuse pour répondre aux exigences du système souhaité et satisfaire les diverses contraintes (coût, délais, qualité, sûreté de fonctionnement,...). Plusieurs démarches méthodologiques visant à guider la conception de système sont définies par l'intermédiaire de normes d'Ingénierie Système. Notre travail s'appuie sur la norme EIA-632, qui est largement employée, en particulier dans les domaines aéronautique et militaire. Il consiste à améliorer les processus d'ingénierie système décrits par l'EIA-632, afin d'intégrer une prise en compte globale et explicite de la sûreté de fonctionnement. En effet, jusqu'à présent la sûreté de fonctionnement était obtenue par la réutilisation de modèles génériques après avoir étudié et développé chaque fonction indépendamment. Il n'y avait donc pas de prise en compte spécifique des risques liés à l'intégration de plusieurs technologies. Pour cette raison, nous proposons de nous intéresser aux exigences de Sûreté de Fonctionnement au niveau global et le plus tôt possible dans la phase de développement, pour ensuite les décliner aux niveaux inférieurs, ceci en s'appuyant sur les processus de la norme EIA-632 que nous étoffons. Nous proposons également une méthode originale de déclinaison d'exigences de sûreté de fonctionnement à base d'arbres de défaillances et d'AMDEC, ainsi qu'un modèle d'information basé sur SysML pour appuyer notre approche. Un exemple issu du monde aéronautique permet d'illustrer nos propositions.

Avec la plupart des méthodes formelles, un premier modèle peut être raffiné formellement en plusieurs étapes, jusqu'à ce que le raffinement final contienne assez de détails pour une implémentation. Ce premier modèle est généralement construit à partir de la description des besoins obtenue dans la phase d'analyse des exigences. Cette transition de la phase des exigences à la phase de spécification formelle est l'une des étapes les plus délicates dans la chaîne de développement formel. En fait, la construction de ce modèle initial exige un niveau élevé de compétence et beaucoup de pratique, d'autant qu'il n'existe pas de processus bien défini pour aider les concepteurs. Parallèlement à ce problème, il s'avère également que les exigences non-fonctionnelles sont largement marginalisées dans le processus de développement logiciel. Les pratiques industrielles actuelles consistent généralement à spécifier seulement les exigences fonctionnelles durant les premières phases de ce processus et à laisser la prise en compte des exigences non-fonctionnelles au niveau de l'implémentation. Pour surmonter ces problèmes, la thèse vise à définir un couplage entre un modèle d'exigences exprimé en SysML/KAOS et des spécifications formelles abstraites, tout en garantissant une distinction entre les exigences fonctionnelles et non-fonctionnelles dès la phase d'analyse des exigences. Pour cela, la thèse propose tout d'abord deux approches différentes (l'une dédiée au B classique et l'autre à Event-B) dans lesquelles des modèles formels abstraits sont construits progressivement à partir du modèle de buts fonctionnels SysML/KAOS. La thèse se focalise par la suite sur l'approche dédiée à Event-B afin de la compléter et l'enrichir en se servant de deux autres modèles SysML/KAOS qui décrivent les buts non-fonctionnels et leurs impacts sur les buts fonctionnels. Nous présentons différentes manières permettant d'injecter ces buts non-fonctionnels et leurs impacts dans les modèles abstraits Event-B déjà obtenus. Des liens de correspondance entre les buts non-fonctionnels et les différents éléments Event-B sont également établis afin de faciliter la gestion de l'évolution de ces buts. Les différentes approches proposées dans cette thèse ont été appliquées pour la spécification du composant de localisation qui est une partie critique d'un système de transport terrestre. L'approche dédiée à Event-B est implémentée dans l'outil SysKAOS2EventB, permettant ainsi de générer une architecture de raffinement Event-B à partir d'un modèle de buts fonctionnels SysML/KAOS. Cette mise en œuvre s'appuie principalement sur les technologies de transformation de modèles à modèles

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Architectural specification of real-time software systems is an activity that conveys analysis, knowledge and understanding of both the application domain and the parties involved in software construction. Architecture plays a key role in communication between stakeholders, in addition to planning the entire architectural process involved in the project. However, Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) have not been widely used in the industry. Another limiting factor for the e ff ective use of ADLs is the di ffi culty of these languages in e ff ectively expressing the architecture of complex systems. Considering this situation of di ffi culty in the e ff ective use of ADLs, the UML has been used in recent years to model the architecture. However, UML can not represent the important characteristics pertinent to real-time systems, such as security or real-time constraints. One of the advantages of the UML is the extensibility allowing the creation of profiles. In this sense, this work proposes using Systems Modeling Language (SysML), a UML profile, to model real-time systems architecture in two automotive systems, the airbag control system and the light control system. The objective of this work is to use UML and SysML to model and document the architecture and design of requirements traceability between software and systems elements, increasing the understanding of the project among the parties involved, and finally presenting SysML as a language for description of real-time software architecture. The ADL Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL) and SysML languages were compared to show the advantages of SysML. As a result, it was noticed that abstract features such as conditional deviations, loop, characteristics that are related to reality and consequently to the system can not be described in AADL. SysML has proved to be relevant in the context of architecture description, analysis, classification and modeling of real-time systems. The SysML Requirements diagram explicitly shows the various types of relationships between di ff erent requirements, the Block diagram enables the global view of the systems involved in a single project, the Internal Block diagram allows the internal view of the system under construction, the Activity diagram considers the behavioral view of the system. SysML concepts, articulated in the SysML Requirements, Activities, Blocks and Internal Blocks diagrams, are complementary, covering the purposes needed to describe the architecture of real-time systems. It is concluded that the proposed UML and SysML join technique provides elements to describe software requirements and their relationships with the system, to manage changes, to evolve and to trace requirements more easily, in addition to the communication being e ff ectively carried out between the stakeholders. This is important for the development of real-time systems because of the diversity of people / teams involved and influencing a wide range of design decisions. / A especificação da arquitetura de sistemas de software de tempo real é uma atividade que depreende análise, conhecimento e compreensão tanto do domínio da aplicação quanto das partes envolvidas na construção do software. A arquitetura tem um papel primordial na comunicação entre os stakeholders, além do planejamento de todo o processo arquitetural envolvido no projeto. Contudo, as Linguagens de Descrição de Arquiteturas (ADLs) não têm sido amplamente usadas na indústria. Outro fator limitador para o uso efetivo de ADLs é a dificuldade dessas linguagens em expressar efetivamente a arquitetura de sistemas complexos. Considerando essa situação de dificuldade do uso efetivo de ADLs, a UML tem sido utilizada nos últimos anos para modelagem da arquitetura. No entanto, a UML não consegue representar características importantes pertinentes a sistemas de tempo real, tais como segurança ou restrições de tempo real. Uma das vantagens da UML é a capacidade de extensão permitindo a criação de profiles. Neste sentido, este trabalho apresenta a Systems Modeling Language (SysML), um profile da UML, para modelagem da arquitetura de sistemas de tempo real em dois sistemas automotivos, o sistema de controle de airbag e o sistema de controle de faróis. Neste trabalho tem-se como objetivos utilizar a UML e a SysML para modelagem e documentação da arquitetura e delineamento de rastreabilidade de requisitos entre software e sistema, ampliando o entendimento do projeto entre as partes envolvidas, e por fim apresentar a SysML como uma linguagem para descrição da arquitetura de software de tempo real. As linguagens SysML e a ADL Architecture Analysis & Design Language (AADL) foram comparadas para mostrar as vantagens da SysML. Como resultado, foi percebido que características abstratas, tais como tomadas de decisão, repetição de uma funcionalidade (loop), características que são relacionadas a realidade e, consequentemente, ao sistema, não podem ser descritas em AADL. A SysML mostrou-se relevante no contexto da descrição, análise, classificação e modelagem de arquitetura para sistemas de tempo real. O diagrama de Requisitos da SysML mostra explicitamente os diversos tipos de relacionamentos entre diferentes requisitos, o diagrama de Blocos viabiliza a visão global dos sistemas envolvidos num único projeto, o diagrama de Blocos Internos possibilita a visão interna do sistema em construção, o diagrama de Atividades considera a visão comportamental do sistema. Os conceitos de SysML, articulados nos diagramas de Requisitos, Atividades, Blocos e Blocos Internos da SysML são complementares cobrindo os propósitos necessários para a descrição da arquitetura de sistemas de tempo real. Conclui-se que a técnica proposta da junção de UML e SysML fornece elementos para descrever requisitos de software e seus relacionamentos com o sistema, gerenciar mudanças, evoluir e rastrear requisitos mais facilmente, além da comunicação ser efetivamente realizada entre os stakeholders. Este aspecto é importante ao desenvolvimento de sistemas de tempo real, por causa da diversidade de pessoas / equipes envolvidas e que influenciam uma ampla série de decisões de projeto.
