Tool Environment for Validation and Verification of Real-Time Systems

Uppaal is an integrated tool environment for modeling, simulation and verification of real-time systems, developed jointly by Uppsala University, Sweden and Aalborg University, Denmark. It is appropriate for systems that can be modeled as a collection of non-deterministic processes with finite control structure and realvalued clocks, communicating through channels or shared variables [14, 9]. Typical application areas include real-time controllers and communication protocols in particular, those where timing aspects are critical.
