Stateflow, a graphical interface tool for Matlab, is a common choice for design of event-driven software and systems. In order for their offline analysis (testing/verification) or online analysis (monitoring), the Stateflow model must be converted to a form that is amenable to formal analysis. In this paper, we present a systematic method, which translates Stateflow into a formal model, called …
Two types of diagnosability of stochastic discrete-event systems (DESs) were introduced by Thorsley et al. in 2005, where a necessary and sufficient condition for Strong Stochastic (SS)-Diagnosability (referred as A-diagnosability by Thorsley and Teneketzis, 2005), and a sufficient condition for Stochastic (S)-Diagnosability (referred as AA-diagnosability by Thorsley and Teneketzis, 2005), bot…
FlexRay is a communication bus (and associated protocol) that supports transmission of time-triggered and event-triggered frames. A method for determining the worst-case responsetime of FlexRay frames is proposed by Pop et al. in 2008, and is formulated as iterative sequence of Integer Linear Programming (ILP) problems. As we show, the method of Pop et al. is conservative (overestimates the re…
