Overview

The "Dependability Evaluation for STATEMATE" (DES) tool chain is a (plug-in) extension of STATEMATE enabling the evaluation of quantitative dependability properties at design time. Given a model specification provided by the user that consists of (i) the STATEMATE description, (ii) a list of timed (or failure) events and, for each event, (iii) the probabilistic timing information, DES allows to verify timed reachability properties such as "The probability to hit a safety-critical system configuration within a mission time of 3 hours is at most 0.01".

DES is the result of a truly trans-regional effort, among others, it encompasses the following tools:

- stm2lts, a Statemate plug-in, that extracts a labeled transition system (BDD based representation, XML)

- sigref that applies aggressive symbolic (BDD based) minimization on the LTS

- imc2ctmdp that transforms the LTS enriched by stochastic time constraints, given as interactive Markov chains (IMCs), into a uniform CTMDP.

DES requires the following external tools and frameworks:

- Statemate

- CADP

- MRMC
