Abstract
Extended Real Time Logic (ERTL) is proposed for the modelling and analysis of hybrid systems, taking as a basis Real Time Logic (RTL). RTL is a first order logic with uninterpreted predicates which relate events of a system to the time of their occurrence, thereby providing the means for reasoning about absolute timing properties of real-time systems. The extensions provided by ERTL allow reasoning about system behaviour in both value and time domains through predicates defined in terms of system variables. We illustrate the use of ERTL through the modelling and analysis of an industrial press.
