These assumptions may be violated at run time, thus invalidating the guarantees produced at design time. To overcome this limitation, we propose to complement design-time assurance with run-time monitoring that calculates the confidence that those assumptions are satisfied and, therefore, design-time guarantees continue to hold. As the first step in our vision, we elicit the logical relationship between assumption violations and safety violations. Then, we develop a probabilistic confidence monitor for each design-time assumption. Finally, we compose these assumption monitors based on their logical relation to safety violations, producing a system-wide assurance monitor. Our vision is illustrated with a case study of an autonomous underwater vehicle that performs pipeline inspection.}, language = {en}, urldate = {2021-10-23}, booktitle = {Formal {Methods} in {Outer} {Space}: {Essays} {Dedicated} to {Klaus} {Havelund} on the {Occasion} of {His} 65th {Birthday}}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing}, author = {Ruchkin, Ivan and Cleaveland, Matthew and Sokolsky, Oleg and Lee, Insup}, year = {2021}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-87348-6_8}, pages = {137--146}, file = {Springer Full Text PDF:/home/ivan/Dropbox/configs/zotero_storage/storage/W49ZT3CC/Ruchkin et al. - 2021 - Confidence Monitoring and Composition for Dynamic .pdf:application/pdf}, }
