Abstract

We present a complete tool chain for automatic controller synthesis using Uppaal Tiga and Simulink. The tool chain is explored using an industrial case study for climate control in a pig stable. The problem is modeled as a game, and we use Uppaal Tiga to automatically synthesize safe strategies that are transformed for input to Simulink, which is used to run simulations on the controller and generate code that can be executed in an actual pig stable provided by industrial partner Skov A/S. The model allows for guiding the synthesis process and generate different strategies that are compared through simulations.
