Abstracting the behaviour of a specification is a key technique for dealing with the
complexity of such tasks as reachability analysis and test generation. We adapted classical …

A method includes receiving a first progress request from a first state machine associated
with execution of a first thread on a processor. The method includes updating a current state …

Abstract A Discrete Event System (DES) is a dynamic system in which the state of the system
changes instantaneously in response to the occurrence of events. DESs arise as models of …

Presents a timed automata approach for modeling discrete event dynamic systems (DEDS)
in the context of supervision and monitoring of industrial processes by extending the TTM …

For pt. II, see ibid., pp. 2168-73 (2000). Discusses the problem of fault diagnosis in a discrete
event dynamic system (DEDS). We consider the timed transition model (TTM) framework for …

An abstraction A of an fsm M consists in partitioning its states, inputs, and outputs into
groups, thus turning it into a non-deterministic fsm MA. For fixed sets of states, inputs, and …

Suppose that M is a large, complex finite-state system (fsm), and we want to construct a
smaller model of it. A way of doing so, independent of any special properties that M might …
