IMITATOR II: A Tool for Solving the Good Parameters Problem in Timed Automata
نویسنده
چکیده
We present here IMITATOR II, a new version of IMITATOR, a tool implementing the “inverse method” for parametric timed automata: given a reference valuation of the parameters, it synthesizes a constraint such that, for any valuation satisfying this constraint, the system behaves the same as under the reference valuation in terms of traces, i.e., alternating sequences of locations and actions. IMITATOR II also implements the “behavioral cartography algorithm”, allowing us to solve the following good parameters problem: find a set of valuations within a given bounded parametric domain for which the system behaves well. We present new features and optimizations of the tool, and give results of applications to various examples of asynchronous circuits and communication protocols.

Synthesizing Parametric Constraints on Various Case Studies Using IMITATOR II
Introduction Timed automata [1] are finite control automata equipped with clocks, which are real-valued variables which increase uniformly. This model is useful for reasoning about real-time systems with a dense representation of time, because one can specify quantitatively the interval of time during which the transitions can occur, using timing bounds. However, the behavior of a system is ver...

متن کاملIMITATOR: A Tool for Synthesizing Constraints on Timing Bounds of Timed Automata
We present here Imitator, a tool for synthesizing constraints on timing bounds (seen as parameters) in the framework of timed automata. Unlike classical synthesis methods, we take advantage of a given reference valuation of the parameters for which the system is known to behave properly. Our aim is to generate a constraint such that, under any valuation satisfying this constraint, the system is...

متن کاملSynthesizing Parametric Constraints on Various Case Studies Using IMITATOR (Preliminary Version)
We consider in this report systems modeled by timed automata. The timing bounds involved in the action guards and location invariants of our timed automata are not constants, but parameters. Those parametric timed automata allow to model various kinds of timed systems, e.g. communication protocols or asynchronous circuits. We will also assume that we are given an initial tuple π0 of values for ...
