This is a tutorial paper on the tool Uppaal. Its goal is to be a short introduction on the flavor of
timed automata implemented in the tool, to present its interface, and to explain how to use …

Formal methods and testing are two important approaches that assist in the development of
high-quality software. While traditionally these approaches have been seen as rivals, in …

This monograph is based on the first author's lectures at the University of Toronto during the
sessions 1987–88 through 2017–18, as well as at Washington University (St. Louis) in May …

Abstract Model checking is an automatic technique for verifying finite-state reactive systems,
such as sequential circuit designs and communication protocols. Specifications are …

A comprehensive introduction to the foundations of model checking, a fully automated
technique for finding flaws in hardware and software; with extensive examples and both …

Hybrid systems describe the interaction of software, described by finite models such as finite-
state machines, with the physical world, described by infinite models such as differential …

This paper presents the overal structure, the design criteria, and the main features of the tool
box Uppaal. It gives a detailed user guide which describes how to use the various tools of …

We present a logic for stating properties such as,“after a request for service there is at least a
98% probability that the service will be carried out within 2 seconds”. The logic extends the …

We present a general framework for the formal specification and algorithmic analysis of
hybrid systems. A hybrid system consists of a discrete program with an analog environment …

In this paper, a brief account of the field of runtime verification is given. Starting with a
definition of runtime verification, a comparison to well-known verification techniques like …
