Abstract

In practice, many stochastic hybrid systems are not autonomous: they are objects that communicate with other objects by exchanging messages through an asynchronous medium such as a network. Issues such as: how to compositionally specify distributed object-based stochastic hybrid systems (OBSHS), how to formally model them, and how to verify their properties seem therefore quite important. This paper addresses these issues by: (i) defining a mathematical model for such systems that can be naturally regarded as a generalized stochastic hybrid system (GSHS) in the sense of [6]; (ii) proposing a formal OBSHS specification language in which system transitions are specified in a modular way by probabilistic rewrite rules; and (iii) showing how these systems can be subjected to statistical model checking analysis to verify their probabilistic temporal logic properties.
