Abstract

We develop a new technique for generating small-complexity abstractions of timed automata that provide an approximation of their timed input-output behavior. This abstraction is obtained by first augmenting the automaton with additional input clocks, computing the "reachable" timed automaton that corresponds to the augmented model and finally "hiding" the internal variables and clocks of the system. As a result we obtain a timed automaton that does not allow any qualitative behavior which is infeasible due to timing constraints, and which maintains a relaxed form of the timing constraints associated with the feasible behaviors. We have implemented this technique and applied it to several examples from different application domains.
