Abstract

One clock alternating timed automata (OCATA) have been introduced as natural extension of (one clock) timed automata to express the semantics of MTL [15]. In this paper, we consider the application of OCATA to the problems of model-checking and satisfiability for MITL (a syntactic fragment of MTL), interpreted over infinite words. Our approach is based on the interval semantics (recently introduced in [5] in the case of finite words) extended to infinite words. We propose region-based and zone-based algorithms, based on this semantics, for MITL model-checking and satisfiability. We report on the performance of a prototype tool implementing those algorithms.

The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under Grant Agreement n°601148 (CASSTING).
