Abstract

This paper discusses a case study where we use relations to represent the requirements of a fault tolerant flight control system. This task is part of a larger research project, carried out on behalf of Dryden Flight Research Center, whose purpose is to investigate the certification of an adaptive flight control system that is fault tolerant with respect to sensor faults. We find that relations offer a versatile tool to formulate requirements, and that they provide a sound basis for building computer supported oracles for the certification phase.
