Abstract

We show that the class of distributed time-asynchronous automata is more expressive than timed automata, has a decidable emptiness problem, is closed under union, concatenation, star, shuffle and renaming, but not under intersection. The closure results are obtained by showing that distributed time-asynchronous automata are equivalent with a subclass of shuffle regular expressions and its related class of stopwatch automata.
