Verification and Validation of Behavior Models Using Lightweight Formal Methods

Presenter: Dr. Kristin Giammarco

Abstract: This presentation provides a method for exposing invalid behaviors in systems of systems (SoS) early in design, at the architecture level. The Monterey Phoenix (MP)-based method for conducting behavior model verification and validation (V&V) was developed after students ranging from high school to the graduate level began discovering unintended, invalid, and potentially high-consequence behaviors permitted by their designs. These unspecified behaviors were consistent with known requirements, but violated stakeholder intent. Examples from four models from different domains and developed by different students are presented, then used as a basis for developing a structured set of behavior model V&V criteria that may be applied to any MP model. Finally, the criteria are put into the context of a systematic method that guides modelers in a thorough V&V of the behavior model. The ease with which unspecified and potentially invalid behaviors were exposed by students at various levels of education suggests that this lightweight formal method for behavior model V&V is user friendly for application by practitioners who have basic skills in logic and logical thinking. Follow-on work will further test the method on other MP behavior modeling efforts, with an aim to improve and extend behavior model V&V criteria and the methods in which they are employed.

Bio: Dr. Kristin Giammarco is an Associate Professor in the Department of Systems Engineering at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), where she teaches courses in system architecture and design, system integration, systems software engineering, and model-based systems engineering. She conducts research in the use and development of formal methods for systems architecture modeling as well as system and software behavioral modeling and architectural patterns with students and colleagues within and outside of NPS.  Dr. Giammarco is a member of INCOSE, the Lifecycle Modeling Language Steering Committee, and the International Society for Systems Pathology.  She holds a Ph.D. in Software Engineering, an M.S. in Systems Engineering Management, and a Certificate in Advanced Systems Engineering from NPS and a B.E. in Electrical Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology.
