Timed automata are a convenient mathematical model for modelling and reasoning about real-time systems. While they provide a powerful way of representing timing aspects of such systems, timed automata assume arbitrary precision and zero-delay actions; in particular, a state might be declared reachable in a timed automaton, but impossible to reach in the physical system it models. In this paper, we consider permissive strategies as a way to overcome this problem: such strategies propose intervals of delays instead of single delays, and aim at reaching a target state whichever delay actually takes place. We develop an algorithm for computing the optimal permissiveness (and an associated maximally-permissive strategy) in acyclic timed automata and games.

The paper addresses the problem of computing maximal expected time to termination of probabilistic timed automata (PTA) models, under the condition that the system will, eventually, terminate. This problem can exhibit high computational complexity, i n particular when the automaton under analysis contains cycles that may be repeated very often (due to very high probabilities, e.g. p =0.999). Such cycles can degrade the performance of typical model checking algorithms, as the likelihood of repeating the cycle converges to zero arbitrarily slowly. We introduce an acceleration technique that can be applied to improve the execution of such cycles by collapsing their iterations. The acceleration process of a cyclic PTA consists of several formal steps necessary to handle the cumulative timing and probability information that result from successive executions of a cycle. The advantages of acceleration are twofold. First, it helps to reduce the computational complexity of the problem without adversely affecting the outcome of the analysis. Second, it can bring the worst case execution time problem of PTAs within the bounds of feasibility for model checking techniques. To our knowledge, this is the first work that addresses the problem of accelerating execution of cycles that exhibit both timing and probabilistic behavior.
We consider a notion of non-interference for timed automata (TAs) that allows to quantify the frequency of an attack; that is, we infer values of the minimal time between two consecutive actions of the attacker, so that (s)he disturbs the set of reac hable locations. We also synthesize valuations for the timing constants of the TA (seen as parameters) guaranteeing non-interference. We show that this can reduce to reachability synthesis in parametric timed automata. We apply our method to a model of the Fischer mutual exclusion protocol and obtain preliminary results.
Model checking timed automata becomes increasingly complex with the increase in the number of clocks. Hence it is desirable that one constructs an automaton with the minimum number of clocks possible. The problem of checking whether there exists a ti med automaton with a smaller number of clocks such that the timed language accepted by the original automaton is preserved is known to be undecidable. In this paper, we give a construction, which for any given timed automaton produces a timed bisimilar automaton with the least number of clocks. Further, we show that such an automaton with the minimum possible number of clocks can be constructed in time that is doubly exponential in the number of clocks of the original automaton.
In this paper, we study the parameter synthesis problem for a class of parametric timed automata. The problem asks to construct the set of valuations of the parameters in the parametric timed automa- ton, referred to as the feasible region, under whi ch the resulting timed automaton satisfies certain properties. We show that the parameter syn- thesis problem of parametric timed automata with only one parametric clock (unlimited concretely constrained clock) and arbitrarily many pa- rameters is solvable when all the expressions are linear expressions. And it is moreover the synthesis problem is solvable when the form of con- straints are parameter polynomial inequality not just simple constraint and parameter domain is nonnegative real number.
In this paper, we propose a novel framework for the synthesis of robust and optimal energy-aware controllers. The framework is based on energy timed automata, allowing for easy expression of timing constraints and variable energy rates. We prove deci dability of the energy-constrained infinite-run problem in settings with both certainty and uncertainty of the energy rates. We also consider the optimization problem of identifying the minimal upper bound that will permit the existence of energy-constrained infinite runs. Our algorithms are based on quantifier elimination for linear real arithmetic. Using Mathematica and Mjollnir, we illustrate our framework through a real industrial example of a hydraulic oil pump. Compared with previous approaches our method is completely automated and provides improved results.
