Abstract

Formal verification of timed systems is well understood, but their implementation is still challenging. Recent works by Raskin et al. have brought out a model of parameterized timed automata that can be used to prove implementability of timed systems for safety properties. We define here a more general notion of robust model-checking for linear-time properties, which consists in verifying whether a property still holds even if the transitions are slightly delayed or expedited. We provide PSPACE algorithms for the robust model-checking of Büchi-like and LTL properties. We also verify bounded-response-time properties.
