Abstract:We present a discrete-time extension of Promela, a high level modelling language for the specification of concurrent systems, and the associated Spin model checker. Our implementation is fully compatible with Spin's partial order reduction algorithm, which is indeed one of its main strengths. The real time package is for most part orthogonal to the other features of the tool, resulting in a modular extension. We have evaluated it by several experiments, with encouraging results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
