Title
Formal Verification of Statecharts with Instantaneous Chain Reaction
Abstract
We present a method for symbolic model checking of mu-Charts, a Statecharts dialect with instantaneous broadcast communication. Due to this communication concept, mu-Charts satisfy the perfect synchrony hypothesis. The well-known causality conflicts that arise under instantaneous feedback from negative trigger conditions are resolved semantically through oracle signals. We have implemented a prototypical tool that translates mu-Charts specifications into mu-calculus formulae. These formulae are checked against temporal specifications using a mu-calculus verifier.
