Bani Younis, M.; Frey, G.:
Formalization of Existing PLC Programs: A Survey.
Proceedings of CESA 2003, Lille (France), Paper No. S2-R-00-0239, July 2003.

In recent years, the interest in the formalization of PLC programs increased. The paper provides a clas-sification scheme for the works done in this field. This scheme includes the sources used for formaliza-tion, the level of the formalization process (i.e. the complexity of structures that could be handled by the approach), the aim of the formalization (Re-Engineering or Verification) and the formal model used to represent the formalized PLC program. The scheme is applied to several examples.
