Runtime Verification with Ogma
Ultra-critical systems require high-level assurance, which cannot always be guaranteed in compile time. The use of runtime verification (RV) enable monitoring these systems in runtime, to detect property violations early and limit their potential consequences. However, the introduction of monitors in ultra-critical systems poses a challenge, as failures and delays in the RV subsystem could affect other subsystems and threaten the mission as a whole. In this talk we discuss two systems: NASA's Ogma, a tool to transform high-level specifications into monitoring code, and Copilot, a runtime verification framework for real-time embedded systems. The toolchain can be used to translate structured natural language requirements into C code with static memory requirements, which can be compiled to run on embedded hardware.
