This state-of-the-art tutorial overview of computer-aided verification, hybrid systems, and publicly available tools for design and verification is based on a NATO workshop. It has two parts. Part 1 addresses the basics of computer-aided verification of discrete event systems from two perspectives: automated theorem proving and model checking. In model checking, the essential problem of computational complexity is addressed, and the basic heuristics for dealing with this problem are presented. Part 2 formulates and classifies hybrid systems that capture continuous dynamics interacting with...

Formal verification increasingly has become recognized as an answer to the problem of how to create ever more complex control systems, which nonetheless are required to behave reliably. To be acceptable in an industrial setting, formal verification must be highly algorithmic; to cope with design complexity, it must support a top-down design methodology that leads from an abstract design to its detailed implementation. That combination of requirements points directly to the widely recognized solution of automata-theoretic verification, on account of its expressiveness, computational...
