Specification, Modelling, Verification and Runtime Analysis of Real Time Systems

The book introduces a formal framework called Equinox, designed to ensure the correctness of real-time systems through specification, modeling, and verification. It presents timed Kripke structures as formal models that maintain quantitative properties while allowing abstraction. The development of JCTL, a temporal logic tailored for real-time applications, addresses limitations of existing logics and facilitates direct model generation, mitigating issues like state space explosion. Additionally, it offers detailed low-level runtime analysis, enhancing the verification process for real-time systems.
