Unifying Control and Verification of Cyber-Physical Systems

Deliverables

First version of the data management plan

UnCoVerCPS is fully committed to the Open Research Data pilot. Besides ensuring accessibility of the results, this task will also evaluate the reproducibility of results of publications. The task leader will also make sure that after each presentation in consortium meetings, the partners have to be able to describe how the results can be reproduced. The assessment of the provided tools and data is assessed according to discoverability, accessibility, assessability, usability beyond intended purpose, and interoperability according to Annex 2 of the Guidelines on Data Management in Horizon 2020.

Final version of the data management plan

This is an extension of the first version of the data management plan. A detailed description of the data management plan can be found in deliverable 6.2.

Report on pre-computation of reachable sets and advances in reachability analysis

This report presents the results of tasks 3.1 and 3.2. First, it described advances in the reachability analysis of nonlinear systems. Seond, it details how to generate and select partial reference trajectories and how to pre-compute reachable sets for them using the latest advances in reachability analysis.

Report on conformance testing in the development process

The report describes how conformance testing has been realized according to Task 1.3. We describe the various analysis and modelling techniques and tools for conformance testing, identify the issues that need to be solved to achieve their applicability in industry and propose solutions to these issues. We also evaluate these solutions by applying them to the proposed realisations of cyber-physical systems as described in WP5.

Assessment of languages and tools for the automatic formalisation of system requirements

As outlined in task 1.4. this deliverable comprises the selection of a requirements modeling language that will allow us to reason about formal properties of a cyber-physical system, the creation of user interfaces to input the requirements, and a process which describes how a safety requirement about the whole system can be represented in UnCoVerCPS. Multiple tools for representing requirements will be studied and results reported, e.g. AutoFocus 9, SCADE, and Simulink.

Report on application models

The report presents the obtained mathematical models for wind turbines, smart grids, and automated driving. The report includes preliminary simulation results of those models.

Report on interleaving online control and reachability computation for certified behaviour of cyber-physical systems

This deliverable documents the results obtained in task 2.4 on combining online control and online reachability computations for efficient decision-making in uncertain environments. The report will describe the developed techniques for embedding reachable set computation and constraint generation into model-predictive controllers for CPS. Furthermore, it will elaborate on the results of interleaving and complementing local safety computations and local trajectory optimization for real-time efficiency. The extensions to stochastic settings and the exemplary application to at least one of the case studies considered in WP5 will be covered.

First report on dissemination and exploitation

This is the first summary of the dissimination and exploitation efforts in UnCoVerCPS.

Second report on dissemination and exploitation

This is the second summary of the dissimination and exploitation efforts in UnCoVerCPS.

Report on conformance testing of application models

The report describes the results of conformance testing of previous WPs, i.e. to what extend the proposed models match the actual behavior of the selected use cases. The report also contains the validation of results from the offline and on-the-fly verification in complex tasks like the control of a wind turbine, robust and fault-tolerant control of smart grids, verified automated driving, and planning in human-robot collaborative manufacturing. Simulation and experiment results are presented as means of verification.

Assessment of the certifiability for the relevant safety standards

This document describes the safety impacts due to the introduction of code generation and verification of hydrid controllers. Safety is adressed by standards such as ISO 26262, IEC 61508, EN 50128 or DO-178C, and their objectives/requirements are analyzed with respect to the UnCoVerCPS approach at application level.

Theoretical foundation for combining zonotopes and support functions

This report explores the theoretical foundation for combining zonotopes and support functions in reachability analysis, as outlined in task 4.3.

Report on application simulation data and experimental results

This report will detail the application set-up and the simulation results showing how our approach meets the criteria for safety in the specific applications: wind turbines, automated vehicles, smart girds, and manufacturing in the food industry. The report will also detail the experimental results obtained and detail how well these align with the expected results obtained from the simulations.

Report on compositional verification, and incremental verification in interaction with online controller adaptation

This report presents the results of tasks 3.3 and 3.4. We first present how verification results can be obtained in a compositional way as described in task 3.3. The computational aspect is a further key technology to scale the methods up towards industrial applications. A special focus of the computational aspects will be on power systems as described in WP 5 since they are usually to large to verify monolithically. Second, it investigates how incremental verification and controller synthesis can be carried out and interwoven online to obtain control strategies that fulfil the given specifications.

Report on distributed model predictive control for cyber-physical systems and efficient computation

This deliverable will document the results achieved in tasks 2.2 and 2.3. These tasks concern Model Predictive Control (MPC) of a cyber-physical system composed of interacting, possibly hybrid, subsystems that may operate in an uncertain environment. The goal is to derive distributed control schemes where each subsystem repetitively solves online a local control problem, while accounting for the other subsystems through time-varying and uncertain constraints. Stability and performance results will be investigated for the subsystems and the overall networked system. When the adopted description of the uncertainty is probabilistic, then, the control problem to be solved online naturally reduces to a constrained stochastic optimization problem, which will be addressed using jointly randomized and robust optimization techniques. Computational aspects related to the online implementation of the proposed distributed MPC solutions will be addressed by combining approximation methods ( e.g., model abstraction, constraint convexification, multiple time scale resolution) in an efficient scheme preserving stability while meeting real-time constraints posed by the online implementation.

Final report on dissemination and exploitation

This is the final summary of the dissimination and exploitation efforts in UnCoVerCPS.

Extension of the SCADE language for continuous modelling

This document describes the extensions to the SCADE Suite notation and/or Simplorer tool languages to support all together the description of discrete and continuous behaviors.

Report on behaviour prediction for cyber-physical systems

The report describes how the behavior prediction has been realized according to task 2.1. We describe the basic theory on how one can predict all possible behaviors of dynamic objects when the system dynamics and set-based uncertainties are given. The report will also show applications on the proposed realisations of cyber-physical systems as described in WP 5.

Report on modelling of networked cyber-physical system for verification and control

This document summarizes the main results on modeling, identification, and refinement techniques for networked cyber-physical systems, as obtained in the tasks 1.1 and 1.2. The report starts from a review of the state-of-the-art on such techniques before the project started, and describes the modeling framework for networked CPS as established in UnCoVerCPS. We detail which particular model properties are essential for the particular purposes of online control and verification, and we focus on coping with model uncertainties, real-time execution, and networked structures. The modeling procedures will be illustrated for the applications addressed in WP5.

Report on reachability analysis of nonlinear systems and compositional verification

We present new results on reachability analysis of nonlinear systems as described in task 3.1. Reachability analysis is a key technology for formal verification of cyber-physical systems. Reachability analysis of nonlinear systems is considered with a special focus on scalability and on reducing the overapproximation of the obtained results. The computational aspect is a further key technology to scale the methods up towards industrial applications.

Website

Our project website will be hosted by the Cyber-Physical Systems Virtual Organization (CPS-VO), see http://cps-vo.org/. The website will provide preprints of publications, benchmark examples, software tools developed within the project, a forum, and links to dissemination activities.

UnCoVerCPS tool chain

UnCoVerCPS proposes to assemble a tool chain composed of the following tools: • SCADE and Simplorer developed at Esterel Technologies. They are used to develop the model and the plant description and are used for certified code generation; • SpaceEx developed at Université Joseph Fourier Grenoble 1 and CORA developed at Technische Universität München. The interaction with SpaceEx and CORA tools increases the verification capabilities by identifying the reachable states of cyber-physical systems. Both tools will be the basis for new tools that can verify systems on-the-fly: SpaceExonl and CORAonl ; • DMPC-HS newly developed at Universität Kassel and ScenarioMPC newly developed at Politecnico di Milano. These tools are use for the development of model predictive controllers. DMPC-HS is applied to non-stochastic systems, while ScenarioMPC is applied to stochastic systems; • the newly developed tools ConfTest (Bosch) for conformance testing and formalSpec (GE) to formalise specifications. The deliverable comprises the following elements from WP4 (incl. tasks and participants): - Translation scheme from SCADE/Simplorer to hybrid automata, including a hybrid automata code generator prototype (T4.2, ET,UJF) - C++ library for zonotopes to be included in SpaceEx (T4.3, TUM,UJF) - Exchange formats and the associated APIs between the tools SCADE, Simplorer, SpaceEx, CORA, formalSpec, and ConfTest (T4.4, ET,UJF,TUM,GE) - C code generator prototype for SCADE with extensions (T4.6, ET) The interaction between the tools SCADE, Simplorer, SpaceEx, CORA, formalSpec, and ConfTest is to be demonstrated and tested on a set of applications as described in task 4.5 (UKS, PoliMi, UJF, TUM).
