Abstract

Like most models used in model-checking, timed automata are an idealized mathematical model used for representing systems with strong timing requirements. In such mathematical models, properties can be violated, due to unlikely (sequences of) events. We propose two new semantics for the satisfaction of LTL formulas, one based on probabilities, and the other one based on topology, to rule out these sequences. We prove that the two semantics are equivalent and lead to a PSPACE-Complete model-checking problem for LTL over finite executions.
