The Theory of Reachability Analysis Method Using Abstraction and Refinement of Priced Probabilistic Timed Automaton, and Its Application to Design Verification of Wireless Sensor Networks
The design and reliability assurance of embedded systems is a complex issue, since they need to handle not only digital behavior but also physical quantities such as time, cost, and sometimes randomness. In addition, since many embedded systems, such as networks and automobiles, have systems in which errors can be fatal, design verification for reliability assurance is an important research topic. With the above background, we adopt the approach of specifying and verifying embedded systems by formal models. […]
