%A Colin Snook %A Michael Poppleton %A Ian Johnson %J Information and Software Technology %T Rigorous engineering of product-line requirements: a case study in failure management %X We consider the failure detection and management function for engine control systems as an application domain where product line engineering is indicated. The need to develop a generic requirement set - for subsequent system instantiation - is complicated by the addition of the high levels of verification demanded by this safety-critical domain, subject to avionics industry standards. We present our case study experience in this area as a candidate method for the engineering, validation and verification of generic requirements using domain engineering and Formal Methods techniques and tools. For a defined class of systems, the case study produces a generic requirement set in UML and an example system instance. Domain analysis and engineering produce a validated model which is integrated with the formal specification/ verification method B by the use of our UML-B profile. The formal verification both of the generic requirement set, and of a simple system instance, is demonstrated using our U2B, ProB and prototype Requirements Manager tools. This work is a demonstrator for a tool-supported method which will be an output of EU project RODIN?otnoteThis work is conducted in the setting of the EU funded research project: IST 511599 RODIN (Rigorous Open Development Environment for Complex Systems) \texttthttp://rodin.cs.ncl.ac.uk/.. The use of existing and prototype formal verification and support tools is discussed. The method, developed in application to this novel combination of product line, failure management and safety-critical engineering, is evaluated and considered to be applicable to a wide range of domains. %N 1-2 %K failure management, formal, generic, refinement, requirements %P 112-129 %V 50 %D 2008 %I Elsevier %L deploy440
