Behavior modeling on ARINC653 to support the temporal verification of conformed application design

Abstract

Numerous factors have an impact on the temporal correction of integrated modular avionics application. As early as in the design phase, verification should be conducted to guarantee the rigorous temporal requirements for safety consideration which are fulfilled. This paper proposes a model for underlining verification in the design phase. The model captures the temporally related design in an industrial standard for software application and operation system (ARINC653). The finite-state machine mechanism is employed to formulate the behavior model of the application and application execution interface. Furthermore, temporal requirements are measured under the simulation of the state machine model. A case study is conducted on a real-world auto-pilot application that conformed with ARINC653.
