Abstract

We propose a symbolic model checking procedure for timed systems that is based on operations on constraints. To accelerate the termination of the model checking procedure, we define history-dependent widening operators, again in terms of constraint-based operations. We show that these widenings are accurate, i.e., they don’t lose precision even with respect to the test of boundedness properties.
