Abstract

Fraenzle and Hansen investigated the model-checking problem of the subset of Duration Calculus without individual variables and quantifications w.r.t. some approximation semantics by reduction to the decision problem of Presburger Arithmetic, thus obtained a model-checking algorithm with 4-fold exponential complexity [6,7]. As an alternative, inspired by their work, we consider the bounded model-checking problem of the subset in the context of the standard discrete-time semantics in this paper. Based on our previous work [20], we reduce this problem to the reachability problem of timed automata. The complexity of our approach is singly exponential in the size of formulas and quadratic in the number of states of models. We implement our approach using UPPAAL and demonstrate its efficiency by some examples.
