摘要

正式的验证技术能够检测系统规格中复杂的质量问题。然而,大多数系统需求通常是用自然语言(NL)指定的。人工形式化NL需求是一个容易出错的劳动密集型过程,需要很强的数学专业知识,并且对于大量需求可能是不可行的。现有的自动形式化技术通常支持依赖于需求样板或模板的受严格约束的自然语言。本文介绍了ARF:自动需求形式化工具。ARF可以自动将自由格式的自然语言需求转换为基于形式符号的时态逻辑。这是通过两个步骤实现的:1)将关键需求属性提取为中间表示(RCM:需求捕获模型),以及2)将需求从RCM格式转换为正式符号的转换规则。

ARF: Automatic Requirements Formalisation Tool
Formal verification techniques enable the detection of complex quality issues within system specifications. However, the majority of system requirements are usually specified in natural language (NL). Manual formalisation of NL requirements is an error-prone and labour-intensive process requiring strong mathematical expertise, and can be infeasible for large numbers of requirements. Existing automatic formalisation techniques usually support heavily constrained natural language relying on requirement boilerplates or templates. In this paper, we introduce ARF: Automatic Requirements Formalisation Tool. ARF can automatically transform free-format natural language requirements into temporal logic based formal notations. This is achieved through two steps: 1) extraction of key requirement attributes into an intermediate representation (RCM: Requirement Capturing Model), and 2) transformation rules that convert requirements from the RCM format to formal notations.
