06161 Working Groups' Report: The Challlenge of Combining Simulation and Verification

Authors: Gregory Batt, Jeremy T. Bradley, Roland Ewald, François Fages, Holger Hermans, Jane Hillston, Peter Kemper, Alke Martens, Pieter Mosterman, Flemming Nielson, Oleg Sokolsky, and Adelinde M. Uhrmacher

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6161, Simulation and Verification of Dynamic Systems (2006)

Abstract
Simulation has found widespread use for experimentation and exploration of the possible impacts of a variety of conditions on a system. In contrast, formal verification is concerned with proving or disproving the correctness of a system with respect to a certain property, using mathematical and logical methods.

A Petri Net Approach to Verify and Debug Simulation Models

Authors: Peter Kemper and Carsten Tepper

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6161, Simulation and Verification of Dynamic Systems (2006)

Abstract
Verification and Simulation share many issues, one is that simulation models require validation and verification. In the context of simulation, verification is understood as the task to ensure that an executable simulation model matches its conceptual counterpart while validation is the task to ensure that a simulation model represents the system under study well enough with respect to the goals of the simulation study. Both, validation and verification, are treated in the literature at a rather high level and seem to be more an art than engineering. This paper considers discrete event simulation of stochastic models that are formulated in a process-oriented language. The ProC/B paradigm is used as a particular example of a class of simulation languages which follow the common process interaction approach and show common concepts used in performance modeling, namely a) layered systems of virtual machines that contain resources and provide services and b) concurrent processes that interact by message passing and shared memory. We describe how Petri net analysis techniques help to verify and debug a large and detailed simulation model of airport logistics. We automatically derive a Petri net that models the control flow of a Proc/B model and we make use of invariant analysis and modelchecking to shed light on the allocation of resources, constraints among entities and causes for deadlocks.
