Abstract

In a parallel composition of timed automata, some transitions are independent to others. Generally the basic method generates one successors for each of the legal permutations of the transitions. These successors may be combined into one bigger symbolic state. In other words, the basic algorithm slices one big symbolic state into pieces. The number of these pieces can be up to n!, where n is the number of independent transitions.In this paper, we introduce a concept, 'partial order path', to avoid treating the permutations one by one. A partial order path includes a set of transitions and a partial order on this set. Our algorithm generates one symbolic successor w.r.t. each partial order path. This big symbolic successor is just the combination of the successors w.r.t. all the global paths which are consistent to this partial order path. It is shown by some case studies that this method may result in significant space reduction.
