Abstract

This paper presents preliminary results in defining templates and a framework for an automation tool for generating temporal logic queries from the expected properties of requirements documents specified in natural Language. Specifically, we first extend the theoretic results published in [16]from Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) to Computation Tree Logic (CTL). Then we present a template to elicit informal queries in a form that can be automatically mapped to either LTL or CTL queries. These efforts are the foundation for the development of a Java-based formal query generation tool that will facilitate the generation of formal queries from informal specifications. The tool will be integrated into the OSATE Eclipse-based analysis and design environment for the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standard---the Architecture Analysis & Design Language (AADL) [1].
