Abstract

In this paper a novel approach for safety analysis of embedded systems is proposed, based on modelling and analysing a system in terms of constraints. The main contributions of the reported work are: the introduction of a notation for modelling entities of the physical environment and controller, based on expressing state transition models as constraints; and providing procedures for the analysis of these models by resolution of a series of constraint satisfaction problems. In addition the work provides a systematic framework for modelling and analysis in terms of constraints, and can be realised in a constraint based programming language.
