We show the decidability of model checking PA-processes against several first-order logics based upon the reachability predicate. The main tool for this result is the recognizabil...
Temporal logic based on the two modalities “Since” and “Until” (TL) is the most popular logic for the specification of reactive systems. It is often called the linear tim...
The agent view provides maybe the right level of abstraction for dealing with complex, distribblem-solving systems. It abstracts from aspects like the hardware or software platfor...
Hybrid systems like computer-controlled chemical plants are typical safety critical distributed systems. In present practice, the safety of hybrid systems is guaranteed by hazard ...
Timed Interval Calculus (TIC) is a highly expressive set-based notation for specifying and reasoning about embedded real-time systems. However, it lacks mechanical proving support...
