Abstract
Over the last two decades, several formal modeling methodologies have emerged. In the manufacturing cell control domain, these methodologies are directed toward integrating the requirements specification, the design, and the implementation of the cell controller into a consistent process, supported by efficient analysis and development tools. The search for a single methodology powerful enough to span all the stages of the development life cycle of a formal model capable of replacing existing non-formal practices, however, has proven more difficult than expected. This paper presents a survey of several formal modeling methodologies that have been used for manufacturing cell control. Furthermore, the methodologies are classified and compared based on their expressive power, their verification power, their level of abstraction, and their span in relation to the formal model's development life cycle.
