Timeliness Properties

receive(m) always occurs within 5 time units after send(m)

receive(m) may occur exactly 11 time units after send(m)

putbox occurs periodically (exactly) every 25 time units

(note: other putbox’s may occur in between)

47

Roughly speaking....

Model checking a timed automata against a TCTL-formula amounts to

model checking its region graph against a CTL-formula

Model checking a timed automata against a TCTL-formula amounts to

model checking its region graph against a CTL-formula

Problem to be solved

Model Checking TCTL is PSPACE-hard
