Anytime System Level Verification via Random Exhaustive Hardware In The Loop Simulation

We present a parallel random exhaustive Hardware In the Loop Simulation based model checker for hybrid systems that, by simulating all operational scenarios exactly once in a uniform random order, is able to provide, at any time during the verification process, an upper bound to the probability that the System Under Verification exhibits an error in a yet-to-besimulated scenario (Omission Probability). We show effectiveness of the proposed approach by presenting experimental results on System Level Formal Verification of the Fuel Control System example in the Simulink distribution. To the best of our knowledge, no previously published model checker can exhaustively verify hybrid systems of such a size and provide at any time an upper bound to the Omission Probability.
