Finite-state programs over real-numbered time in a guarded-command language with real-valued clocks are described. Model checking answers the question of which states of a real-time program satisfy a branching-time specification. An algorithm that computes this set of states symbolically as a fixpoint of a functional on state predicates, without constructing the state space, is given.<<ETX>>

CLAIMS
CONCEPTS
- algorithm
A procedure for computing the state set that satisfies the specification.
- branching-time specification
A specification formalism that can quantify over different execution branches from a state.
Aliases: branching time specification
- finite-state programs
Programs described here as having finitely many states in a real-time setting.
Aliases: finite-state program
- fixpoint computation
An iterative computation that finds a stable point of a functional over state predicates.
Aliases: fixpoint of a functional
- guarded-command language
A programming language organized around commands that execute when guards are satisfied.
Aliases: guarded command language
- real-time program
A program model that includes timing behavior and clock-based constraints.
Aliases: real-time systems
- real-valued clocks
Clock variables whose values range over the real numbers.
Aliases: real-valued clock
- state space
The collection of all possible states of the program model.
- symbolic model checking
Model checking performed by manipulating symbolic state sets rather than enumerating individual states.
Aliases: symbolic verification
