Abstract

We present an algorithm for finding the minimal number of clocks of a given timed automaton recognizing the language described by a so-called bounded timed regular expressionw. This algorithm is based on the partition of the timed projection of w into so-called delay cells. Using this decomposition, we give a method to compute practically this number for w. We then apply this technique to prove that for some n-clock timed automation we need an additional clock to encode urgency.
