abstract

AutoFOCUS3 (AF3) supports formal verification of its models using the nuXmv model checker. This requires a model transformation from AF3 to nuXmv models. In this paper we present this behavior transformation. It is a two way transformation between a high-level and a low-level model involving intricate cases typical of behavior transformations whose solutions can therefore be beneficial to the community.
