It integrates model checking and testing techniques to evaluate system correctness and reliability under various scenarios. The approach involves constructing a Markov Decision Process (MDP) model, performing reachability analysis, and conducting sensitivity analysis to identify critical components affecting system reliability. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework in detecting bugs and analyzing reliability distribution across components like sensors and networks. The study also highlights practical applications in real-world settings, such as monitoring activities and delivering timely reminders to users. Overall, the work provides a comprehensive method for improving the dependability of context-aware systems through formal verification and quantitative evaluation.}, }
