Specification and Analysis of Real-Time Systems Using Real-Time Maude

Abstract

Real-Time Maude is a language and tool supporting the formal specification and analysis of real-time and hybrid systems. The specification formalism is based on rewriting logic, emphasizes generality and ease of specification, and is particularly suitable to specify objectoriented real-time systems. The tool offers a wide range of analysis techniques, including timed rewriting for simulation purposes, search, and time-bounded linear temporal logic model checking. It has been used to model and analyze sophisticated communication protocols and scheduling algorithms. Real-Time Maude is an extension of Maude and a major redesign of an earlier prototype. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
