Advances in Verification of Time Petri Nets and Timed Automata: A Temporal Logic Approach (Studies in Computational Intelligence, 20)

This monograph presents a comprehensive introduction to timed automata (TA) and
time Petri nets (TPNs) which belong to the most widely used models of real-time
systems. Some of the existing methods of translating time Petri nets to timed
automata are presented, with a focus on the translations that correspond to the
semantics of time Petri nets, associating clocks with various components of the
nets. "Advances in Verification of Time Petri Nets and Timed Automata – A Temporal
Logic Approach" introduces timed and untimed temporal specification languages
and gives model abstraction methods based on state class approaches for TPNs
and on partition refinement for TA. Moreover, the monograph presents a recent progress
in the development of two model checking methods, based on either exploiting
abstract state spaces or on application of SAT-based symbolic techniques.

The book addresses research scientists as well as graduate and PhD students
in computer science, logics, and engineering of real time systems.
