چکیده

As computers become ubiquitous, they are increasingly used in safety critical environments. Since many safety critical applications are real-time systems, automated analysis technique of real-time properties is desirable. Most widely used automated analysis techniques are based on state space exploration. Automatic analysis techniques based on state space exploration suffer from the state space explosion problem. In particular, a realtime system may have an unbounded number of states due to infinitely many possible time values. This paper presents our approach for generating a finite and efficient representation of the reachable states called a timed reachability graph for a real-time system. In this paper, a real-time system is specified using a timed automaton which is a timed extension of the well-known finite automaton. Our approach for coping with the state explosion problem is to extract timing information from states and to represent it as relative time relations between transitions. We also present an algorithm for computing the minimum and maximum time bounds between executions of two actions from a timed reachability graph to determine timing properties.

Reachability checking in complex and concurrent software systems using intelligent search methods

Software system verification is an efficient technique for ensuring the correctness of a software product, especially in safety-critical systems in which a small bug may have disastrous consequences. The goal of software verification is to ensure that the product fulfills the requirements. Studies show that the cost of finding and fixing errors in design time is less than finding and fixing the...

Efficient Reachability Analysis and Refinement Checking of Timed Automata Using BDDs

For the formal specification and verification of real-time systems we use the modular formalism Cottbus Timed Automata (CTA), which is an extension of timed automata [AD94]. Matrix-based algorithms for the reachability analysis of timed automata are implemented in tools like Kronos, Uppaal, HyTech and Rabbit. A new BDD-based version of Rabbit, which supports also refinement checking, is now ava...

Generating Discrete Trace Transition System of a Polyhe-dral Invariant Hybrid Automaton

Supervisory control and fault diagnosis of hybrid systems need to have complete information about the discrete states transitions of the underling system. From this point of view, the hybrid system should be abstracted to a Discrete Trace Transition System (DTTS) and represented by a discrete mode transition graph. In this paper an effective method is proposed for generating discrete mode trans...

Verification and Performance Analysis of Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems using UPPAAL

Timed automata, priced timed automata and energy automata have emerged as useful formalisms for modeling a real-time and energy-aware systems as found in several embedded and cyber-physical systems. Whereas the real-time model checker UPPAAL allows for efficient verification of hard timing constraints of timed automata, model checking of priced timed automata and energy automata are in general ...
