Abstract

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) as advanced embedded systems integrating computation with physical process are increasingly penetrating into our life. Modeling and analysis for such systems closely involved with us are actively researched. A current challenging problem is how to take advantages of existing technologies like SysML/MARTE, Modelica and Statistical Model Checking (SMC) through effective integration. Moreover, the lack of efficient methodologies or tools for modeling and analysis of CPSs makes the gap between design and analysis models hard to bridge. To solve these problems, we present a framework named Modana to achieve an integrated process from modeling with SysML/MARTE to analysis with SMC for CPSs in terms of Non Functional Properties (NFP) such as time, energy, etc. Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI), as a connecting link between modeling and analysis, plays a major role in coordinating various tools for co-simulation to generate traces as the input of statistical model checker. To demonstrate the capability of Modana framework, we model energy-aware buildings as a case study, and discuss the analysis on energy consumption in different scenarios.
