Abstract

A technique for the verification of concurrent parametric timed systems is presented. In the systems under study, each action has a bounded delay where the bounds are either constants or parameters. Given a safety property, the analysis computes automatically a set of constraints on the parameters that is sufficient to guarantee the property. The main contribution is an innovative representation of the parametric timed state space based on bit-vectors. Experimental results from the domain of timed circuits show that this representation improves the efficiency of the verification significantly with a small impact on the accuracy of the derived constraints.
