Feasibility study in the use of contract-based approaches to deal with safety-related properties in CPS
Abstract
This work concerns a feasibility study on the use of contract-based approaches as a means of reasoning and understanding a cyber-physical system (CPS) which should meet safety properties. We show the problems, the analysis methodology and the results on a railway industrial system case study. Our results suggest that contract-based design provides a rigorous approach for reasoning at the interaction of safety-related properties in CPS.
