Abstract


The objective of SEARCH (2019–2022) was to develop methods and tools for assessing technical design solutions related to overall instrumentation and control (I&C) system architectures, based on Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices. We developed (1) tools for analysing Defence-in-Depth properties, (2) methods for the hybrid assessment of safety and security, as well as (3) data models to support conformity assessment and design iteration.

A particular focus was on broadening the scope in which a formal verification method called model checking could be used. We developed methods for software verification, where we also account for failures and communication delay in the underlying hardware architecture. We also developed tools for finding the root cause of counterexamples, and our capabilities to verify infinite-domain models.
