Real-Time Systems: Formal Specification and Automatic Verification

by Henning Dierks, Ernst-Rüdiger Olderog, H Dierks

Real-time systems need to react to certain input stimuli within given time bounds. For example, an airbag in a car has to unfold within 300 milliseconds in a crash. There are many embedded safety-critical applications and each requires real-time specification techniques. This text introduces three of these techniques, based on logic and automata: duration calculus, timed automata, and PLC-automata. The techniques are brought together to form a seamless...
