Model Checking Hierarchical Communicating Real-Time State Machines
Angelo Furfaro, Libero Nigro · 2006
Hierarchical communicating real-time state machines (H-CRSM) is a formal modelling language for the modular development of distributed real-time systems. The formalism is characterized by the use of state transitions with guarded commands and timing constraints, the adoption of a few distilled statecharts constructs, and the modular specification of timing constraints along a state hierarchy. This paper proposes a translation of H-CRSM into UPPAAL which enables model checking. Translation rests on unfolding a hierarchical model on a flat representation
