The paper Bringing Runtime Verification Home has been accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Runtime Verification.
Below is the abstract of the paper:
We use runtime verification (RV) to check various specifications in a smart apartment. The specifications can be broken down into three types: behavioral correctness of the apartment sensors, detection of specific user activities (known as activities of daily living), and composition of specifications of the previous types. The context of the smart apartment provides us with a complex system with a large number of components with two different hierarchies to group specifications and sensors: geographically within the same room, floor or globally in the apartment, and logically following the different types of specifications. We leverage a recent approach to decentralized RV of decentralized specifications, where monitors have their own specifications and communicate together to verify more general specifications. This allows us to re-use specifica- tions, and combine them to: (1) scale beyond existing centralized RV techniques, and (2) greatly reduce computation and communication costs.
