Title: The SysML/KAOS Domain Modeling Approach,
Abstract: A means of building safe critical systems consists of formally modeling the
requirements formulated by stakeholders and ensuring their consistency with
respect to application domain properties. This paper proposes a metamodel for
an ontology modeling formalism based on OWL and PLIB. This modeling formalism
is part of a method for modeling the domain of systems whose requirements are
captured through SysML/KAOS. The formal semantics of SysML/KAOS goals are
represented using Event-B specifications. Goals provide the set of events,
while domain models will provide the structure of the system state of the
Event-B specification. Our proposal is illustrated through a case study dealing
with a Cycab localization component specification. The case study deals with
the specification of a localization software component that uses GPS,Wi-Fi and
sensor technologies for the realtime localization of the Cycab vehicle, an
autonomous ground transportation system designed to be robust and completely
independent.
