Petri net modeling and software safety analysis: methodology for an embedded military application.
petrinetmodeling00lewi.pdf (4.487Mb)Abstract
This thesis investigates the feasibility of software
safety analysis using Petri net modeling and an automated
suite of Petri Net UTilities (P-NUT) developed at UC Irvine.
We briefly introduce software safety concepts, Petri nets,
reachability theory, and the use of P-NUT. We then develop a
methodology to combine these ideas for efficient and
effective preliminary safety analysis of a real-time,
embedded software, military system.
