A transformation methodology for Capella to Event-B models with DSL verification

Abstract

Capella/Arcadia helps engineers design complex system models, but as models grew in complexity, simulation and verification became necessary. An automatic model-to-model transformation approach was proposed to interpret the dynamic behavior of the semi-formal Capella models. Custom domain-specific languages were introduced to assess the syntax of these models. The approach was applied to the Adaptive Exterior Light system, transforming Capella models into Event-B models for safety verification. The paper provides traceability between Capella and Event-B meta-models to aid interpretation of verification results.
