This paper presents a major new release of SBIP, an extensible statistical model checker for Metric (MTL) and Linear-time Temporal Logic (LTL) properties on respectively Generalized Semi-Markov Processes (GSMP), Continuous-Time (CTMC) and Discrete-Time Markov Chain (DTMC) models. The newly added support for MTL, GSMPs, CTMCs and rare events allows to capture both real-time and stochastic aspects, allowing faithful specification, modeling and analysis of real-life systems. SBIP is redesigned as an IDE providing project management, model edition, compilation, simulation, and statistical analysis.
The design and the implementation of distributed real-time systems has always been a challenging task. A central question being how to efficiently coordinate parallel activities by means of point-to-point communication so as to keep global consistency while meeting timing constraints. In the domain of safety critical applications, system predictability allows to pre-compute optimal scheduling policies. In this paper, we consider a larger class of systems represented as compositions of timed automata subject to multiparty interactions, for which an implementation method for distributed platforms and based on intermediate model transformation already exists. To improve this approach, we developed specific static analysis techniques that, combined with local and global knowledge of the system, checks particular conditions that enables to decrease the number of messages exchanged in the system for executing each interaction, as well as to remove unnecessary scheduling overhead in some cases.
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.
