Verification of Plan Models Using UPPAAL

Abstract

This paper describes work on the verification of HSTS, the planner and scheduler of the Remote Agent autonomous control system deployed in Deep Space 1 (DS1). The verification is done using UPPAAL, a real time model checking tool. We start by motivating our work in the introduction. Then we give a brief description of HSTS and UPPAAL. After that, we give a mapping of HSTS models into UPPAAL and we present samples of plan model properties one may want to verify. Finally, we conclude with a summary.
