{"intvolume":" 4362","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Digital technology is increasingly deployed in safety-critical situations. This calls for systematic design and verification methodologies that can cope with three major sources of system complexity: concurrency, real time, and uncertainty. We advocate a two-step process: formal modeling followed by algorithmic analysis (or, “model building” followed by “model checking”). We model the concurrent components of a reactive system as potential collaborators or adversaries in a multi-player game with temporal objectives, such as system safety. The real-time aspect of embedded systems requires models that combine discrete state transitions and continuous state evolutions. Uncertainty in the environment is naturally modeled by probabilistic state changes. As a result, we obtain three orthogonal extensions of the basic state-transition graph model for reactive systems —game graphs, timed graphs, and stochastic graphs— as well as combinations thereof. In this short text, we provide a uniform exposition of the underlying definitions. For verification algorithms, we refer the reader to the literature."}],"publisher":"Springer","publist_id":"217","extern":1,"conference":{"name":"SOFSEM: Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Computer Science"},"publication_status":"published","citation":{"ista":"Henzinger TA. 2007.
