AbstractIn the past few years, significant progress has been made on spatio-temporal cyber-physical systems in achieving spatio-temporal properties on several long-standing tasks. With the broader specification of spatio-temporal properties on various applications, the concerns over their spatio-temporal logics have been raised in public, especially after the widely reported safety-critical systems involving self-driving cars, intelligent transportation system, image processing. In this paper, we present a spatio-temporal specification language, STSL PC, by combining Signal Temporal Logic (STL) with a spatial logic S4 u, to characterize spatio-temporal dynamic behaviors of cyber-physical systems. This language is highly expressive: it allows the description of quantitative signals, by expressing spatio-temporal traces over real valued signals in dense time, and Boolean signals, by constraining values of spatial objects across threshold predicates. STSL PC combines the power of temporal modalities and spatial operators, and enjoys important properties such as finite model property. We provide a Hilbert-style axiomatization for the proposed STSL PC and prove the soundness and completeness by the spatio-temporal extension of maximal consistent set and canonical model. Further, we demonstrate the decidability of STSL PC and analyze the complexity of STSL PC. Besides, we generalize STSL to the evolution of spatial objects over time, called STSL OC, and provide the proof of its axiomatization system and decidability.

Formal Specification Language

Object-Z, an extension to formal specification language Z, is good for describing large scale Object-Oriented software specification. While Object-Z has found application in a number of areas, its utility is limited by its inability to specify continuous variables and real-time constraints. Linear temporal logic can describe real-time system, but it can not deal with time variables well and also can not describe formal specification modularly. This paper extends linear temporal logic with clocks (LTLC) and presents an approach to adding linear temporal logic with clocks to Object-Z. Extended Object-Z with LTLC, a modular formal specification language, is a minimum extension of the syntax and semantics of Object-Z. The main advantage of this extension lies in that it is convenient to describe and verify the complex real-time software specification.
