Probabilistic model checking is a powerful technique for formally verifying quantitative
properties of systems that exhibit stochastic behaviour. Such systems are found in many …

Turing Lecture from the winners of the 2007 ACM AM Turing Award. In 1981, Edmund M.
Clarke and E. Allen Emerson, working in the USA, and Joseph Sifakis working …

Uppaal Stratego is a novel tool which facilitates generation, optimization, comparison as
well as consequence and performance exploration of strategies for stochastic priced timed …

We introduce a platform-based design methodology that uses contracts to specify and
abstract the components of a cyber-physical system (CPS), and provide formal support to the …

Timed automata are a popular formalism to model real-time systems. They were introduced
two decades ago to support formal verification. Since then they have also been used for …

This paper offers a survey of uppaalsmc, a major extension of the real-time verification tool
uppaal. uppaalsmc allows for the efficient analysis of performance properties of networks of …

We present PRISM-games, a model checker for stochastic multi-player games, which
supports modelling, automated verification and strategy synthesis for probabilistic systems …

A specification theory combines notions of specifications and implementations with a
satisfaction relation, a refinement relation and a set of operators supporting stepwise design …

Probabilistic timed automata (PTAs) are a formalism for modelling systems whose behaviour
incorporates both probabilistic and real-time characteristics. Applications include wireless …

Formal methods encompass a wide choice of techniques and tools for the specification,
development, analysis, and verification of software and hardware systems. Formal methods …
