PERSEUS: Protocol Engineering of Industrial Communication Systems using the Formal Description Technique UML2.0 (Ingenieurmethoden für den Entwurf und Test von Echtzeitkommunikationssystemen)

01.01.2008 bis 30.06.2011

The usage of formal description technique significantly saves time and money when it comes to testing communication protocols designed for industrial automation. This is mainly achieved by early validation of the high quality communication protocols specified using formal description technique, which reduces the time to market. Further, thanks to the automated code generation and test case results which helps in conformity and interoperability tests.

One of the major targets of this research project is to verify the applicability of the formal description technique UML 2.0 and TTCN.3 with regard to development, validation, realisation and test of industrial communication protocols.

The other major target is to overcome inhibition which still prevails today while using a formal description technique for automation techniques. The ultimate goal of the project is to provide a potential analysis with the help of a demonstrator for the industries interested in the field of automation technique.
