Abstract

We study certain classes of verification problems for parametric reactive and hybrid systems, and identify the types of logical theories which can be used for modeling such systems and the reasoning tasks which need to be solved in this context. We identify properties of the underlying theories which ensure that these classes of verification problems can be solved efficiently, give examples of theories with the desired properties, and illustrate the methods we use on several examples.
