Modeling and specification of distributed timed systems

Increasing complexity in distributed and real-time systems makes them very hard to model and specify correctly. Different formal methods are useful for the process of modeling and specification of these kinds of systems. Timed Automata (TA) and Distributed Timed Automata (DTA) are the dominant models of distributed and realtime systems. Unfortunately, their language inclusion and complementation are undecidable. In this paper, we will present logics and automata (Distributed Event Clock Automata (DECA), Memory Event Clock Automata (RMECA), Distributed Event Clock Temporal Logic (DECTL), Memory Event Clock Temporal eling, specifying and studying the behavior and in Logic (RMECTL) fully decidable and they were designed to modparticular verifying the correct operation of distributed and real-time systems.
