Abstract

We propose a new hybrid I/O automaton model that is capable of describing both continuous and discrete behavior. The model, which extends the timed I/O automaton model of [12, 7] and the phase transition system models of [15, 2], allows communication among components using both shared variables and shared actions. The main contributions of this paper are: (1) the definition of hybrid I/O automata and of an implementation relation based on hybrid traces, (2) the definition of a simulation between hybrid I/O automata and a proof that existence of a simulation implies the implementation relation, (3) a definition of composition of hybrid I/O automata and a proof that it respects the implementation relation, and (4) a definition of receptiveness for hybrid I/O automata and a proof that, assuming certain compatibility conditions, receptiveness is preserved by composition.
