The satisfiability of timing constraints that are capable of expressing punctuality in this model, however, is known to be undecidable. We introduce a temporal language that can constrain the time difference between events only with finite, yet arbitrary, precision and show the resulting logic to be EXPSPACE-complete. This result allows us to develop an algorithm for the verification of timing properties of real-time systems with a dense semantics.","lang":"eng"}],"day":"01","quality_controlled":"1","extern":"1","doi":"10.1145/227595.227602","intvolume":"        43","year":"1996","month":"01","type":"journal_article","publication_status":"published","citation":{"ama":"Alur R, Feder T, Henzinger TA.
