SAT-based Reachability Checking for Timed Automata with Diagonal Constraints

摘要

This paper deals with the problem of checking reachability for timed automata with diagonal constraints. Such automata are needed in many applications e.g. to model scheduling problems. We introduce a new discretization for timed automata which enables SAT based reachability analysis for timed automata for which comparisons between two clocks are allowed. In our earlier papers SAT based reachability analysis was restricted to the so called diagonal-free timed automata, where only comparisons between clocks and constants are allowed.
