Timed Discrete-Event Simulation of Aviation Scenarios

Abstract

. Ensuring systems behave as they are expected is unavoidable in the context of critical environments. In the aviation industry, certification standards provide rules and pro-tocols to ensure correct maneuvers with respect to logical or timed events. These are targeted to computer-intensive systems as well as to human flight crews. In this setting, we are interested in the modeling and simulation of event-driven and time-driven behaviors at a high level. This study focuses on the TESL language [9] that provides a logical framework for timed behaviors with monitoring and testing features. In particular, we model various aviation scenarios and focus our study on fault monitoring.
