Verification and Performance Analysis of Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems using UPPAAL

Timed automata, priced timed automata and energy automata have emerged as useful formalisms for modeling a real-time and energy-aware systems as found in several embedded and cyber-physical systems. Whereas the real-time model checker UPPAAL allows for efficient verification of hard timing constraints of timed automata, model checking of priced timed automata and energy automata are in general undecidable notable exception being cost-optimal reachability for priced timed automata as supported by the branch UPPAAL Cora. These obstacles are overcome by UPPAAL-SMC, the new highly scalable engine of UPPAAL, which supports (distributed) statistical model checking of stochastic hybrid systems with respect to weighted metric temporal logic. The talk will review UPPAAL-SMC and its applications to the domains of energy-harvesting wireless sensor networks, schedulability and execution time analysis for mixed criticality systems, battery-aware scheduling with respect to correctness, faultand performance analysis. In the talk I will also indicate how UPPAAL SMC may play be of benefit for counter example generation, refinement checking, testing, controller synthesis and optimization.
