Timed Strategies for Real-Time Rewrite Theories

TL;DR

A language for conveniently defining a wide range of execution strategies for real-time rewrite theories, and Maude-strategy-implemented versions of most Real-Time Maude analysis methods, albeit with user-defined discrete and timed strategies are proposed.

Abstract

In this paper we propose a language for conveniently defining a wide range of execution strategies for real-time rewrite theories, and provide Maude-strategy-implemented versions of most Real-Time Maude analysis methods, albeit with user-defined discrete and timed strategies. We also identify a new time sampling strategy that should provide both efficient and exhaustive analysis for many distributed real-time systems. We exemplify the use of our language and its analyses on a simple round trip time protocol, and compare the performance of standard Maude search with our strategy-implemented reachability analyses on the CASH scheduling algorithm benchmark.
