In this paper, we study thetime-bounded reachability problem for rectangular hybrid automata with non-negative rates (RHA+). This problem was recently shown to be decidable [Brihaye et al, ICALP11] (even though the unbounded reachability…
Control applications for cyber-physical systems must make reliably safe control decisions in the presence of continuous dynamics as well as stochastic uncertainty. Providing safety guarantees for such systems requires formal modeling and…
In this paper, we consider partially observable timed automata endowed with a single clock. A time interval is associated with each transition specifying at which clock values it may occur. In addition, a resetting condition associated to a…
Timed automata (TA) have been widely adopted as a suitable formalism to model time-critical systems. Furthermore, contemporary model-checking tools allow the designer to check whether a TA complies with a system specification. However, the…
Weighted timed games are played by two players on a timed automaton equipped with weights: one player wants to minimise the accumulated weight while reaching a target, while the other has an opposite objective. Used in a reactive synthesis…
Markov automata (MAs) extend labelled transition systems with random delays and probabilistic branching. Action-labelled transitions are instantaneous and yield a distribution over states, whereas timed transitions impose a random delay…
