Abstract
We present the Software Tool for the Analysis of Robustness in the unKnown environment (Stark), our Java tool for the specification, analysis and verification of robustness properties of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs). Stark includes: (i) a specification language for systems behaviour, perturbations, distances on systems behaviours, and requirements on systems behaviour expressed in the Robustness Temporal Logic (RobTL), a temporal logic for the specification and verification of properties on the evolution of distances between the behaviours of CPSs, and thus also of robustness properties; (ii) a module for the simulation of system behaviours and their perturbed versions; (iii) a module for the evaluation of distances between behaviours; (iv) a statistical model checker for RobTL formulae.
期刊介绍:
Science of Computer Programming is dedicated to the distribution of research results in the areas of software systems development, use and maintenance, including the software aspects of hardware design.
The journal has a wide scope ranging from the many facets of methodological foundations to the details of technical issues andthe aspects of industrial practice.
The subjects of interest to SCP cover the entire spectrum of methods for the entire life cycle of software systems, including
• Requirements, specification, design, validation, verification, coding, testing, maintenance, metrics and renovation of software;
• Design, implementation and evaluation of programming languages;
• Programming environments, development tools, visualisation and animation;
• Management of the development process;
• Human factors in software, software for social interaction, software for social computing;
• Cyber physical systems, and software for the interaction between the physical and the machine;
• Software aspects of infrastructure services, system administration, and network management.
