Abstract

Verification of operating procedures (that is, specifications of manual control actions) by model checking has been discussed in [16]. The modelling language Promela and the model checker Spin were used in that report. In order to be able to apply model checking in a wider scope, modelling languages with graphical interface and verification tools used in industrial context are preferable (for example, to facilitate collaboration with process experts). In this paper, we discuss how to use SDL to model systems consisting of operating procedures and the controlled processes. Verification of procedures against correctness specifications is done by using the tool SDT. We conclude the paper with a short discussion of the integration of formal verification with the procedure design process.
