Abstract

Uppaal is a tool suite for automatic verification of safety and bounded liveness properties of real-time systems modeled as networks of timed automata. It includes: a graphical interface that supports graphical and textual representations of networks of timed automata, and automatic transformation from graphical representations to textual format, a compiler that transforms a certain class of linear hybrid systems to networks of timed automata, and a model-checker which is implemented based on constraint-solving techniques. Uppaal also supports diagnostic model-checking providing diagnostic information in case verification of a particular real-time systems fails.

The current version of Uppaal is available on the World Wide Web via the Uppaal home page http://www.docs.uu.se/docs/rtmv/uppaal.

This work has been supported by the European Communieties (under CONCUR2 and REACT), NUTEK (Swedish Board for Technical Development) and TFR (Swedish Technical Research Council)

This author would also like to thank the Chinese NSF and the Hong Kong Wang's Foundation for supporting a visit to the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 1995.
