A semantics for a graphical specification language of realtime properties (Constraint Diagrams) is presented. The new semantics is given in terms of Timed Automata. A model in terms of Timed Automata satisfies the property given by a Constraint Diagram if the model in parallel composition with the semantics of the Constraint Diagram can reach a certain state. This kind of question can be checked by all model-checkers for Timed Automata. A prototype of a tool is presented that automatically translates an appropriate Constraint Diagram into the input language of the tool Uppaal.
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.
