Publisher's Synopsis
An abstract mathematical model of the concept of operations for the Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS) is presented. The Concept of Operations consist of several procedures that describe nominal operations for SATS, Several safety properties of the system are proven using formal techniques. The final goal of the verification effort is to show that under nominal operations, aircraft are safely separated. The abstract model was written and formally verified in the Prototype Verification System (PVS).Dowek, Gilles and Munoz, Cesar and Carreno, Victor A.Langley Research CenterMATHEMATICAL MODELS; SAFETY; PROTOTYPES; TRANSPORTATION...
