TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 7 Sequential Design Model

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 8 Typical Design Structure An Environment class is needed A SystemName class is needed A World class is introduced for setting up both the environment and the system World shall contain a Run operation World have access to some notion of time The Environment has operation for creating signals to the system and receiving events from the system Flow of control resides with the Environment Each class that do actions has an isFinished operation

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 9 Concurrent Design Model Similar to sequential design model but Identification of threads Determine necessary communication Establish synchronization points Validation of model Typical design structure Flow of control is distributed Synchronization using permission predicates and mutex isFinished operations become skip with permission predicates A simple Timer class is replaced with the TimeStamp class

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 10 Concurrent Real-Time and Distributed Design Model Timing built in: Use of default durations Use of duration and cycles statements Setting task switching overhead Typical Design Structure SystemName is now turned into a system CPU ’s and BUS ’es are introduced inside SystemName Environment may be turned into a system Some operations are made asynchronous Some Step like threads are made periodic Explicit use of TimeStamp is removed

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 12 Logic Our ability to state invariants, record pre-conditions and post-conditions, and the ability to reason about a formal model depend on the logic on which the modelling language is based. Classical logical propositions and predicates Connectives Quantifiers

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 13 A temperature monitor example Temperature (C) Time (s) The monitor records the last five temperature readings

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 14 A temperature monitor example The following conditions are to be detected by the monitor: 1.Rising: the last reading in the sample is greater than the first 2.Over limit: there is a reading in the sample in excess of 400 C 3.Continually over limit: all the readings in the sample exceed 400 C 4.Safe: If readings do not exceed 400 C by the middle of the sample, the reactor is safe. If readings exceed 400 C by the middle of the sample, the reactor is still safe provided that the reading at the end of the sample is less than 400 C. 5.Alarm: The alarm is to be raised if and only if the reactor is not safe

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 15 Predicates and Propositions Predicates are simply logical expressions. The simplest kind of logical predicate is a proposition. A proposition is a logical assertion about a particular value or values, usually involving a Boolean operator to compare the values, e.g. 3 < 275 = 9

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 16 Predicates A predicate is a logical expression that is not specific to particular values but contains variables which can stand for one of a range of possible values, e.g. x < 27 (x**2) + x - 6 = 0 The truth or falsehood of a predicate depends on the value taken by the variables.

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 17 Predicates in the monitor example Monitor :: temps : seq of int alarm : bool inv m == len m.temps = 5 Consider a monitor m. m is a sequence so we can index into it: First reading in m : Last reading in m : Predicate stating that the first reading in m is strictly less than the last reading: The truth of the predicate depends on the value of m. m.temps(1) m.temps(5) m.temps(1) < m.temps(5)

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 18 The rising condition The last reading in the sample is greater than the first Monitor :: temps : seq of int alarm : bool inv m == len m.temps = 5 We can express the rising condition as a Boolean function: Rising: Monitor -> bool Rising(m) == m.temps(1) < m.temps(5) For any monitor m, the expression Rising(m) evaluates to true iff the last reading in the sample in m is higher than the first, e.g. Rising( mk_Monitor([233,45,677,650,900], false) ) Rising( mk_Monitor([23,45,67,50,20], false) )

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 19 Logical Operators (Connectives) We will examine the following logical operators: Negation (NOT) Conjunction (AND) Disjunction (OR) Implication (if – then) Biconditional (if and only if) Truth tables can be used to show how these operators can combine propositions to compound propositions.

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 20 Negation (not) Negation allows us to state that the opposite of some logical expression is true, e.g. The temperature in the monitor mon is not rising: not Rising(mon) Truth table for negation: P PP truefalse true

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 21 Disjunction (or) Disjunction allows us to express alternatives that are not necessarily exclusive: Over limit: There is a reading in the sample in excess of 400 C OverLimit: Monitor -> bool OverLimit(m) == m.temps(1) > 400 or m.temps(2) > 400 or m.temps(3) > 400 or m.temps(4) > 400 or m.temps(5) > 400 PQ PQPQ true falsetrue falsetrue false

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 22 Conjunction (and) Conjunction allows us to express the fact that all of a collection of facts are true. Continually over limit: all the readings in the sample exceed 400 C COverLimit: Monitor -> bool COverLimit(m) == m.temps(1) > 400 and m.temps(2) > 400 and m.temps(3) > 400 and m.temps(4) > 400 and m.temps(5) > 400 PQ PQPQ true false truefalse

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 23 Implication Implication allows us to express facts which are only true under certain conditions (“if … then …”): Safe: If readings do not exceed 400 C by the middle of the sample, the reactor is safe. If readings exceed 400 C by the middle of the sample, the reactor is still safe provided that the reading at the end of the sample is less than 400 C. Safe: Monitor -> bool Safe(m) == m.temps(3) > 400 => m.temps(5) < 400 PQ PQPQ true false true false true

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 24 Biimplication Biimplication allows us to express equivalence (“if and only if”). Alarm: The alarm is to be raised if and only if the reactor is not safe This can be recorded as an invariant property: Monitor :: temps : seq of int alarm : bool inv m == len m.temps = 5 and not Safe(m.temps) m.alarm PQ PQPQ true false truefalse true

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 25 Operator Precedence and Associativity not has the highest precedence Followed by and, or, => and in that order => has right grouping i.e. oA => B => C without brackets means oA => (B => C) The other logical operators are associative so right and left grouping are equivalent, i.e. oA and (B and C) is identical to (A and B) and C

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 26 Quantifiers For large collections of values, using a variable makes more sense than dealing with each case separately. inds m.temps represents indices (1-5) of the sample The “over limit” condition can then be expressed more economically as: exists i in set inds m.temps & temps(i) > 400 The “continually over limit” condition can then be expressed using “ forall ”: COverLimit: Monitor -> bool COverLimit(m) == forall i in set inds m.temps & temps(i) > 400

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 27 Quantifiers Syntax: forall binding & predicate exists binding & predicate There are two types of binding: Type Binding, e.g. x : nat n : seq of char Set Binding, e.g. i in set inds m x in set {1,…,20} A type binding lets the bound variable range over a type (a possibly infinite collection of values). A set binding lets the bound variable range over a finite set of values.

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 28 Universal quantification Universal quantification is a generalised form of conjunction For example, the statement “every natural number is greater than or equal to zero” is denoted by  n: nat  n  0 (  is a turned-round “A”, “for All” and written as “ forall ” in ASCII) “for all n drawn from the natural numbers, n is greater than or equal to zero” This statement is equivalent to (and a lot more succinct than): 0  0  1  0  2  0  3  0  …

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 29 Questions Formulate the following statements using predicate logic: Everybody likes Danish pastry Everybody either likes Danish pastry or is a vegetarian Either everybody likes Danish pastry or everybody is a vegetarian Are the last two statements equivalent?

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 30 Existential quantification Existential quantification allows us to assert that a predicate holds for at least one value — but not necessarily all values — of a given set For example, the statement “there is a natural number that is greater than or equal to zero” is denoted by:  n: nat  n  0 (  is a turned-round “E”, “there Exists” and written as “ exists ” in ASCII) “there exists an n drawn from the natural numbers such that n is greater than or equal to zero” 0  0  1  0  2  0  3  0  …

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 31 Questions Formulate the following statements using predicate logic: Somebody likes Danish pastry There is somebody who either likes Danish pastry or is a vegetarian Either somebody likes Danish pastry or somebody is a vegetarian Are the last two statements equivalent?

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 32 Quantifiers Several variables may be bound at once by a single quantifier, e.g. forall x,y in set {1,…,5} & X <> y => not m.temps(x) = m.temps(y) Would this predicate be true for the following value of m.temps ? [320, 220, 105, 119, 150]

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 33 Formulation Questions All the readings in the sample are less than 400 and greater than 50. Each reading in the sample is up to 10 greater than its predecessor. There are two distinct readings in the sample which are over 400. forall i in set inds m.temps & m.temps(i) 50 forall i in set inds m.temps\{1} & m.temps(i – 1) + 10 <= m.temps(i) exists i,j in set inds m.temps & i <> j and m.temps(i) > 400 and m.temps(j) > 400

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 34 Combination of quantifiers Assume we have a predicate with two free variables P(x,y) where x : X and y : Y Then quantifiers can be combined:  y : Y   x : X  P(x,y) or  y : Y   x : X  P(x,y) Would these be equal if X, Y are int and P = x >y? However if the same quantifier was used both places the expressions would be equivalent:  y : Y   x : X  P(x,y)   x : X   y : Y  P(x,y)  y : Y   x : X  P(x,y)   x : X   y : Y  P(x,y)

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 35 Quantifiers Suppose we have to formalise the following property: There is a “single minimum” in the sequence of readings, i.e. there is a reading which is strictly smaller than any of the other readings. Suppose the order of the quantifiers is reversed. exists i in set inds m.temps & forall j in set inds m.temps & i <> j => m.temps(i) < m.temps(j)

TIVDM1Development process, Logic and VDMTools and Eclipse 36 Questions Translate the following into English:  x:Elephant & grey(x)  x:ANIMAL & elephant(x) => grey(x)  x : ANIMAL & bird(x)  has-wings(x)   flies(x) Represent the following using predicate logic formulae: “Joanne is a teacher, she teaches AI, and likes chocolate.” “Some teachers do not like chocolate”
