Timed abstract state machine(TASM) is a formal specification language used to specify and simulate the behavior of real-time systems. Formal verification of TASM model can be fulfilled through model checking activities by translating into UPPAAL. Firstly, the translational semantics from TASM to UPPAAL is presented through atlas transformation language(ATL). Secondly, the implementation of the proposed model transformation tool TASM2UPPAAL is provided. Finally, a case study is given to illustrate the automatic transformation from TASM model to UPPAAL model.
Architecture analysis and design language （AADL） is an architecture description language standard for embedded real-time systems and it is widely used in safety-critical applications. For facilitating verifcafion and analysis, model transformation is one of the methods. A synchronous subset of AADL and a general methodology for translating the AADL subset into timed abstract state machine （TASM） were studied. Based on the arias transformation language （ ATL ） framework, the associated translating tool AADL2TASM was implemented by defining the meta-model of both AADL and TASM, and the ATL transformation rules. A case study with property verification of the AADL model was also presented for validating the tool.
