    CORA

    Language Guide

    UPPAAL CORA is based on the newest internal development version of UPPAAL. On one hand this means that it contains all the new and exciting features of the next version of UPPAAL, but on the other it also means that it contains many new and untried features, that might change before the final release of UPPAAL. This page describes the new language features compared to the UPPAAL 4.0 series.

    Cost Annotation

    In LPTA, an implicit continuous monotonic variable called cost is defined. The rate at which this variable grows can be specified in the location invariant as:

    cost’ == INTEXPR

    where INTEXPR is an integer expression. If specified in multible locations, the actual cost rate is the sum of the cost rate specified in the current location of each process. The cost can be incremented on edges using the increment operator +=.

    Here is an example of the aircraft landing problem: xta, q.

    Remaining Cost Estimation

    The performance of UPPAAL CORA can be improved dramatically by annotating the model with an admissible estimate of the remaining cost to reach the goal condition. Admissible means that the estimate is not bigger than the actual cost of reaching the goal, i.e., the estimate provides a lower bound on the remaining cost. The estimate is specified by declaring a meta integer variable named remaining. Specifying a good value for remaining is crucial for good performance.

    In previous versions of UPPAAL, remaining had to be a lower bound on the remaining cost from the state and all its delay successors, but this is no longer required. Now remaining must simply be a lower bound on the remaining cost. When computing a successor, UPPAAL automatically adjusts the value of remaining. Thus even when you do not recompute remaining, it will still be a lower bound of the remaining cost. You will probably be able to come up with a better lower bound on the remaining cost, so you should try compute a remaining cost yourself on each edge transition.

    Command Line Options

    Below we describe the new options supported by the command line interface of UPPAAL (verifyta). Most of these options are also available from the options menu in the graphical frontend.

    Guiding

    A number of different search orders are supported. These can be selected with the -o option:

    • -o0 Breadth first.
    • -o1 Depth first.
    • -o2 Random depth first.
    • -o3 Smallest heur first.
    • -o4 Best first.
    • -o5 Best depth first.

    The first two are well known from previous releases of UPPAAL. Random depth first search is similar to depth first search, but it randomises the order in which the successors of a state are searched. Smallest heur first requires the presence of an integer variable named heur in the model. The state with the smallest value of this variable is always explored next. In most cases, this variable should be a meta variable. Best first and best depth first are used for optimal reachability, see the next topic.

    Optimal Reachability

    UPPAAL CORA has support for finding optimal schedules. Optimality is defined in terms of a cost variable, see the Language Guide for details. The optimal trace can be found by using the -t3 option. With this option, UPPAAL CORA keeps searching until a trace to a goal state with the smallest value for the cost variable has been found. Alternatively you can use the -E option to find the optimal cost without generating the trace.

    UPPAAL CORA automatically enables the -o4 option (best first) when using the -t3 option. This can be changed by manually using a different -o option after the -t3 option. In the best first search order, the state with the smallest value of the cost variable is searched next. An alternative is to use best depth first. This search order performs a depth first search, but always searches the state with the lowest cost first. If a remaining cost estimate annotation is provided, the interpretation of the best first and best depth first is changed to search the state with the smallest sum of the cost variable and the remaining variable next.

    Examples

    The jugs example has been updated to the new syntax. You can download it here: jugs2.ta, jugs2.q. You can find the optimal solution like this:

    verifyta -E jugs2.ta jugs2.q

    Limitations

    UPPAAL CORA has a number of limitations. These limitations are not fundamental, but are a result of using new internal data structures with a currently limited feature set. Over time, these limitations will be resolved.

    • No extrapolation, hence termination is not guaranteed unless you guarantee that either:
      • The system is acyclic.
      • All clocks are bound by invariants.
    • Simple reachability only:
      • No liveness check
      • No deadlock check
    • Limited use of guiding:
      • Support for (cost + remaining) sorting is implemented (best first search)
      • Support for heuristic variable is implemented, but the expression cannot refer to the cost variable.

    Concrete Simulator

    The concrete simulator is similar to the symbolic simulation in the sense that it is a validation tool that enables examination of the possible dynamic executions of a system during early design (or modeling) stages. The difference is that the simulation is based on concrete traces, i.e. one can choose a specific time to fire a transition. The tool helps to see at which time a transition can be fired.

    Simulation Control

    The simulation control is the left panel of the simulator. It is used to control the simulation and to select the state or transition to be visualized in the others panels of the simulator. The control panel is divided in two parts:

    The upper part is used for performing step-by-step simulation. The Transition chooser area is a clickable area where vertical axis displays the active transitions at this location and horizontal axis displays the time at which the transition will be fired. The time interval where a transition is enabled and the time interval where a transition is selectable are colored in different way. The time interval in which a transition can be fired (where the transition is selectable) is delimited by markers: one small circle at the beginning and one at the end of the interval (full if it is close, empty if it is open). When the mouse move to a selectable area, the color of the interval become brighter. By clicking one can select a specific transition and a specific time for firing the transition. The selected transition will be highlighted. The time selected is displayed in the Delay-combo box. One can also specified directly the time in the Delay-combo, once the transition has been selected. If one click in a non-selectable zone of a transition, the tool chooses the closest valid time. The Reset Delay-button is used to reset the delay to zero. Pressing the Take transition-button causes the simulated system to fire the selected transition at the specified time. The Reset-button is used to reset the simulated system to its initial state.

    The lower part of the control panel, the Simulation Trace area, has a view displaying the generated trace. The displayed trace is an alternating sequence of control location vectors and transitions. The simulation always progresses from the highlighted element in this view. It is possible to change the selection using the mouse.

    The Simulation Trace area contains a combo box that displays the current time (according to the hightlighted state in the trace) and the following buttons:

    • First: highlights the first element in the trace.
    • Last: highlights the last element in the trace.
    • Prev: highlights the element immediately preceding the current selection (if any) in the trace.
    • Next: highlights the element immediately following the current selection (if any) in the trace.
    • Play: replays the trace starting from the currently selected element.
    • Open: opens a file dialog for loading a trace from file.
    • Save: opens a file dialog for saving the current trace on file. The valid file extension is “uctr”. When no file extension is provided, it will be automatically appended.
    • Random: starts a random simulation where the simulator proceed automatically by randomly selecting enabled transitions at random time.

    The slider is used to control the speed used when traces are replayed and when random simulation is performed.

    Options Menu

    The options menu contains settings to control the behavior of the model-checker.

    Search Order

    This option influences the order in which the state space is explored.

    Breadth first
    Search the state space in breadth first search order. This is typically the most efficient option when the complete state space must be searched. When generating shortest or fastest traces, this is likely the best setting.
    Depth first
    Search the state space in depth first search order. If a counter example or witnessing trace is expected to exist, this setting is usually better than the breadth first setting. It is not recommended to use this search order when generating shortest or fastest traces.
    Random depth first
    Search the state space in randomised depth first search order. If a counter example or witnessing trace is expected to exist, this is usually the best setting. Due to the randomisation, traces may vary from run to run. It is not recommended to use this search order when generating shortest or fastest traces.

    State Space Reduction

    When searching the state space, UPPAAL does not necessarily have to store all states in memory in order to guarantee termination. This option influences how aggressively UPPAAL tries to avoid storing states. There is normally a tradeoff between space and speed.

    None
    Store all states.
    Conservative
    Avoid storing committed states.
    Aggressive
    Avoid storing more than one state per cycle.

    State Space Representation

    This option determines how the state space should be represented in the model checker.

    Some representations are approximative in the sence that either a larger or smaller state space than the real one is generated. When an approximative representation is used, UPPAAL may conclude that a query is maybe satisfied, i.e., UPPAAL cannot make a decisive conclusions given the representation selected.

    Difference Bound Matrices (DBM)
    DBMs are often fast, but for models with many clocks they require a lot of memory.
    Compact Data Structure
    A more compact, but slower representation than DBMs. In particular for models with many clocks, this setting will often significantly reduce memory consumption. Even for models with no or few clocks, this option enables other memory saving techniques at the expense of speed.
    Under Approximation
    Uses bit-state hashing to represent the state space. This results in an under approximation, however the degree of approximation can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the hash table: Large hash tables result in a larger part of the state space being searched. The hash table size can be selected with the hash table size option.
    Over Approximation
    Uses convex-hull approximation of zones. This results in an over approximation of the state space. For models without clocks, this setting has no effect.

    Note that if a model contains stopwatches (invariant expressions like x'==0 where x is a clock), then the resulting analysis is overapproximate even if DBM or Compact Data Structure options are selected (DBM cannot represent additional constraints required by stopwatches). In such case, UPPAAL may also report that a reachability propery is maybe satisfied, meaning that the found counter-example trace may be spurious (i.e. not realizable).

    This option controls if a counter-example or witnessing trace (if there is one) should be generated during verification. The trace is loaded into the simulator after verification. Enabling trace generation has two side effects:

    • Only one property at a time can be verified.
    • Symmetry reduction is disabled.

    The possible settings for trace generation are:

    None
    Do not generated any diagnostic trace.
    Some
    Generate a diagnostic trace.
    Shortest
    Generate a shortest trace, i.e. a trace with the smallest number of transitions.
    Fastest
    Generate a fastest trace, i.e. a trace with the shortest accumulated time delay.

    Extrapolation

    The range of clocks is unbounded, i.e., clocks can obtain arbitrarily large real values. To guarantee termination, UPPAAL uses an abstraction techniques called extrapolation. The extrapolated state space is finite. UPPAAL implements a number of extrapolation techniques that differ in the size of the extrapolated state space. Not all extrapolation techniques preserve all properties for all kinds of models. UPPAAL automatically selects the coarsets extrapolation, which still preserves the property being analysed.

    Sometimes it may be of benefit to use a coarser (and faster) extrapolation that the one selected by UPPAAL. By doing so, the analysis will use an over-approximation of the state space. Listed from finest to coarsets, the choices are: None, Difference, Local, and Lower/Upper.

    Automatic
    Selects the coarsest extrapolation preserving the property being analysed. If in doubt, use this setting.
    None
    Do not use extrapolation. Termination is no longer guaranteed. Since performing the extrapolation is relatively expensive, this may be of use if you know that the symbolic state space is finite.
    Difference
    Used whenever the model or the query contain difference constraints over clocks, e.g., x - y < 3.
    Local
    Used whenever the query contains either the deadlock keyword or involves a liveness property (except if the model or the query contain difference constraints).
    Lower/Upper
    Used whenever a reachability analysis is performed, except when the deadlock keyword is used or when the model or the query contain difference constraints.

    Hash table size

    Adjusts the amount of memory used to represent the state space when using bit-state hashing. This option has no effect unless under approximation is selected.

    Reuse

    When selected, instructs the verifier to (whenever possible) reuse the generated portion of the state space when several properties of the same system are checked.

    Statistical Parameters

    Lower probabilistic deviation (-δ)
    Used in hypothesis testing (qualitative model-checking) to specify the lower bound of indifference region from the specified probability.
    Upper probabilistic deviation (+δ)
    Used in hypothesis testing (qualitative model-checking) to specify the upper bound of indifference region from the specified probability.
    Probability of false positives (α)
    Used in hypothesis testing (qualitative model-checking queries like Pr[...](...) <= 0.5) and probability estimation (quantitative model-checking queries like Pr[...](...)) to specify the level of significance (probability of Type I error).
    Probability of false negatives (β)
    Used in hypothesis testing (qualitative model-checking queries like Pr[...](...) <= 0.5) to specify the level of significance (probability of Type II error).
    Probability uncertainty (ε)
    Used in probability estimation (qualitative model-checking) to constrain the size of the confidence interval in a form of p ± ε (1-α CI).
    Ratio lower bound (u0)
    Used in comparison of two probabilities.
    Ratio upper bound (u1)
    Used in comparison of two probabilities.
    Histogram bucket width
    Specifies the width of each column in the histogram. By default it is set to zero meaning that the width is determined by ratio of entire histogram width divided by a bucket count.
    Histogram bucket count
    Specifies the number of columns in the histogram. By default it is set to zero meaning that the count is determined by taking a square root of a total number of samples and dividing by four.

    Simulation Control

    The simulation control is the left panel of the simulator. It is used to control the simulation and to select the (symbolic) state or transition to be visualized in the other two panels of the simulator. The control panel is divided in two parts:

    The upper part is used for performing step-by-step simulation. A list view displays the enabled transitions, with the currently selected transition highlighted. Pressing the Next-button causes the simulated system to take the selected transition. The Reset-button is used to reset the simulated system to its initial state.

    The lower part of the control panel has a view displaying the generated trace. The displayed trace is an alternating sequence of control location vectors and transitions. The simulation always progresses from the highlighted element in this view. It is possible to change the selection using the mouse.

    The six buttons below the trace view have the following semantics:

    • Prev: highlights the element immediately preceding the current selection (if any) in the trace.
    • Next: highlights the element immediately following the current selection (if any) in the trace.
    • Replay: replays the trace starting from the currently selected element.
    • Open: opens a file dialog for loading a trace from file.
    • Save: opens a file dialog for saving the current trace on file. The valid file extension is “xtr”. When no file extension is provided, it will be automatically appended.
    • Random: starts a random simulation where the simulator proceed automatically by randomly selecting enabled transitions.

    The slider at the bottom of the control panel is used to control the speed used when traces are replayed and when random simulation is performed.

    Symbolic Traces

    Since clocks range over the non-negative reals, timed automata can have infinitely many states (not to be confused with locations) and infinitely many traces. The simulator cannot visualize all these concrete traces. Instead it shows an infinite set of traces - a so called symbolic trace. Each symbolic state of a symbolic trace is a set of states and their delay successors described by a number of constraints on the clocks. In a given symbolic state, the active locations and the values of discrete variables are the same for all states.

    Symbolic traces shown in the simulator are backward stable, but not forward stable:

    **Forward stable**
    Given two symbolic states A and B on a symbolic trace such that A is before B, every state in A can reach a state in B.
    **Backward stable**
    Given two symbolic states A and B on a symbolic trace such that A is before B, every state in B can be reached by a state in A.

    In particular, care must be taken when interpreting a counter example produced by the model checker: Not every state in the symbolic states along a symbolic trace will necessarily lead to an error state, although all states in the last symbolic state are indeed reachable from the initial state.

    Note: verifyta can be used to produce forward stable traces.

    Variables Panel

    The variables panel is the middle panel of the simulator. It displays the values of the data and clock variables in the current state or transition selected in the trace of the simulation control panel.

    The data variable values are always shown as integers. The clock values are shown symbolically as a conjunction of clock guards of lower and upper bounds on individual clocks or differences between pairs of clocks (see Expressions section for more information on clock guards). The possible clock values of the associated state (or transition) are all possible solutions to the conjunction of all clock constraints. The symbols “[” and “]” are used for closed intervals and “(” and “)” for open intervals in the usual way.

    If the selected element in the simulation control panel is a state, the variables panel shows the symbolic values of the state (in normal black color). If the selected element is a transition, the shown symbolic values are those of the immediately preceding state satisfying the guard(s) of the transition (shown in blue color).

    Note: variables can be hidden and displayed using the “Variables…” item in the View menu. The representation of the clock constraints can also be changed from this menu, using the “Full DBM” item. When “Full DBM” is checked a constraint is shown for each pair of clocks, otherwise a minimum set of constraints is shown. The minimum set of constraints is such that all constraints that are in the full DBM but not in the minimum set can be derived from constraints in the minimum set.

    Drawing

    The rightmost panel of the system editor is used for drawing automata. There are currently four drawing tools named Select, Location, Edge, and Nail represented by the buttons in the tool bar.

    • Select tool: The select tool is used to select, move, modify and delete elements. Elements can be selected by clicking on them or by dragging a rubber band arround one or more elements. Elements can be added or removed from a selection by holding down the control key while clicking on the element. The current selection can be moved by dragging them with the mouse. Double clicking an element brings up the editor for that element. Right clicking an element brings up a pop-up menu from which properties of the element can be changed. It is possible to change the source and target of an edge by moving the mouse to the beginning or end of an edge until a small circle appears. Drag this circle to a new location in order to change the source or target of the edge.
    • Location tool: The location tool is used to add new locations. Simply click with the left mouse button in order to add a new location.
    • Branch tool: The branch tool is used to create probabilistic branches. Simply click with the left mouse button in order to add a new branch point, then choose edge tool to create connecting edges.
    • Edge tool: The edge tool is used to add new edges between locations. Start the edge by clicking on the source location, then click in order to place nails and finally click the target location. The operation can be cancelled by pressing the right mouse button.
    • Nail tool: The nail tool is used to add new nails to an edge. Simply click and drag anywhere on an edge to add and place a new nail.

    For users with a three button mouse, the middle mouse button can be used to create new elements. The editor automatically chooses the correct tool: Clicking on an empty spot creates a new location, clicking on a location creates a new edge and clicking on an edge creates a new nail. With this feature it is possible to use the functionallity of all four tools without having to select the tools directly.

    Colors

    The display color of individual locations and edges can be changed from the pop-up menu for these elements. UPPAAL does not assign any semantic meaning to the colors of locations and edges.

    Comments

    Comments can be added to locations and edges. Double click the location or edge to bring up the editor for that element. The editor has a Comments tab for adding comments. UPPAAL does not assign any semantic meaning to the comments.

    Comments are shown as document elements on the canvas. These elements can be resized by distributing the content of the comments over multiple lines.

    When shown in the tooltip of an element, comments are interpreted as HTML, i.e. tags like <p> and <b> may be used for formating.

    Verifying Requirements

    The queries (i.e. the system requirements) are verified from the verifier interface of UPPAAL. A verification is always performed according to the settings specified in the Options menu of the main menu bar.

    The selected queries are verified when the button named Check is pressed. The verification progress dialog displays the progress of how many queries have been verified, what is the current load of a passed-waiting list, current processor time usage (the time spent for verification is in blue, the time spent by operating system is in red), current usage of host’s random access memory (verification memory is in blue, memory used by other running processes is in gray and operating system cache and buffers are in yellow), swap disk usage (swapped out verification is in blue, other is in grey). Note that resource figures do not include the overhead of UPPAAL GUI and command line utilities (like memtime run on verifyta) are more accurate. Some figures are not available on some OSes (system cache allocation is not documented on Windows API and swap usage per process is not maintained by Linux kernel), therefore they might not show up.

    The verification output is displayed in the Status field at the bottom of the verifier panel. The result is also indicated by the circular markers in the rightmost column of the Overview panel. A grey marker indicates that the truth value of the property is unknown, a green marker that the property is satisfied, and a red marker that the property is not satisfied.

    In case the Over Approximation or the Under Approximation options are selected for State Space Representation, the output of the verifier might be that property is “maybe satisfied”. This happens when the verifier cannot determine the truth value of the property due to the approximations used.

    Statistical Model Checking

    Parameters for statistical model checking can be changed in the Options menu. Various data plots (if available) can be accessed via popup-menu by right-clicking the statistical property. The y-axis always denotes a probability or its density, while x-axis denotes either the variable values limited by the statistical query or a step (transition) count in the model run.

    Probability density distribution
    A histogram created from probability distribution where each bucket is normalized by a bucket width. Useful for comparison of various distributions, potentially with different bucket widths.
    Probability distribution
    A histogram created from a frequency histogram where each bucket is normalized by a total number of runs. Useful for assessing a probability of a property being satisfied at a particular moment in time interval.
    Cumulative probability distribution
    A histogram created by adding up all frequency histogram buckets up to the current bucket and normalized by a total number of runs.
    Confidence Intervals for Probabilities
    The confidence intervals for probabilities are computed using Clopper-Pearson method (also known as “exact”) for binomial distribution for a given level of confidence (1-α). The method is conservative in a sense that it guarantees the minimum coverage of the real probability in (1-α) of cases. In the plots, the estimated confidence is valid only for one bucket at a time (the gathered data is reused to compute each individual bucket).
    Confidence Intervals for Mean
    The confidence intervals for mean estimation are computed using quantiles of Student’s t-distribution for a given level of confidence of 1-α. Note that t-distribution approaches the commonly used Normal (Gaussian) distribution when the number of samples is high.
    Frequency histogram
    The frequency histogram is created by calculating the number of runs satisfying the property at a particular moment in time interval. Useful for calculating the number of runs.

    Any plot can be customized from a popup menu by right-clicking on the plot.

    Further, the plot labels and titles can be edited and several data sets can be superimposed in one figure by using Plot Composer, accessible from the Tools menu. It is possible to create several composite plots at a time by invoking Plot Composer multiple times.

    Test Cases (Yggdrasil)

    Test Cases (Yggdrasil) tab contains an offline test-case generation tool with a purpose of increasing edge coverage. It generates traces from the model, and translates them into test cases based on test code entered into the model on edges and locations next to comments.

    The main features of the Test Cases generator are:

    • The generated test code is backend agnostic, meaning that it is user-defined and independent of specific test execution engines.
    • Three modes for test case generation:
      • Test purpose mode: Generates a test case specified by a reachability query
      • An auto-depth mode: Generates tests automatically aiming at achieving edge/location coverage
      • Single-step mode: Generates an individual test case per uncoverd edge.
    • Visualization of coverage

    Determinism

    Test generator expects a deadlock free and mostly deterministic model.

    Deadlocks can be checked against in the Verifier tab using A[] not deadlock query.

    There are no checks or reinforcements made for determinism. Non-deterministic implementation requirements (behavior not controlled by a test execution harness) may yield test-cases which cannot be executed in a controlled manner. For example, test execution harness might not be able to force the implementation under test to respond in a specific way assumed by a test case if the implementation is allowed to respond in multiple ways non-deterministically. The environment assumption model (edges controlled by the test execution harness) is encouraged to be non-deterministic to facilitate a more focused and flexible control when selecting test cases.

    Basic operation

    The buttons Add will generate traces based on the verification options selected in the Options menu where the search order and diagnostic trace options are overridden by the corresponding drop-down list selection. Unless intimately familiar with the search algorithms of Uppaal, leave the options at their default settings.

    The traces are added and shown in the Traces list below on the left. Selecting a trace will show the statistics for this trace in the Trace statistics on the right. The Total Coverage button will show the combined statistics of all the traces added so far. Double clicking a trace loads the trace in the Simulator tab, where the execution scenario can be examined in detail. Simulator colors the covered locations and edges in blue when Mark Visited option is selected under the View menu.

    Test cases are exported to a specified directory specified by clicking Save Test Cases button at the bottom. Previously stored test cases are overwritten by new test ones.

    Test Cases Generator tab

    Note: the traces and statistics are lost when the model is reloaded. Traces and statistics are not saved with the model. Only the test cases can be saved.

    Suggested methodology:

    Test Cases can be generated in several ways, depending on the actual project, but it is designed to support the method outlined below:

    1. Test purposes very often represent mandatory critical observations that must be observed on the system under test. First, Add the test cases representing the test purposes. These test are mandated anyway, and will cover some parts of the model, but this coverage is typically insufficient.
    2. Generate tests that improves the (edge/location) coverage of the model (but does not guarantee so). Second, Add the test cases using the auto-depth mode to improve the coverage.
    3. The coverage achieved by the second step can be completed by adding an individual test-case for each of these uncovered edges or locations. Hence, third, Add the test cases using the single-step mode.

    Generating Traces

    Traces are generated using three purposes: queries, depth search, and individual edges.

    In the Verifier tab the existential queries (E<>) can be used to specify a desired functionality to be tested and hence can be selected as a test purpose for test case generation. All or specific queries can be selected and the resulting trace is added to be used as a test case.

    The second option uses heuristics of random depth first search of the specified number of steps with a hope of increasing the coverage. The resulting trace is used as a test case. The search process is repeated until the newly generated trace does not contribute new coverage over the previous traces. In order to use this method a global integer variable named __reach__ must be declared, initialized to zero and should not be used anywhere in the model. The number of steps depends on the model (size and depth of the model) and application domain (how long test cases are acceptable). If depth is configured too small there is a risk that many edges wil not be covered. If depth is configured very high, needlessly long test cases will be generated.

    The third option attempts to cover the remaining edges which are not covered by the previously generated traces. This method submits a separate reachability query for each uncovered edge. Large models may have many edges, and therefore many queries may take a long time to execute. Even worse: some edges might be unreachable at all and thus require exhaustive search which may consume a lot of time and memory. In order to use this method a global integer variable named __single__ must be declared, initialized to zero and should not be used throughout the model.

    Tutorial

    This tutorial shows how to use the Uppaal Test Generator (Yggdrasil) to generate test scripts step-by-step. It assumes that you are familar with the basic syntax and semantics of Uppaal automata, the basic query language, and is able to use the model-editor.

    At the end of the tutorial you will be able to generate simple executable test cases.

    The features for generating offline test cases are presented terms of two simple example systems: An On/Off system and an Up/Down counter. The behavior of these systems are generic, but could, respectively, represent a lamp with on/off capabilities and a dimmer lamp, which can be turned up or down.

    Both examples include a model, decorated with test-code, a (supposedly) correct implementation of the system, and a implementation mutant representing an implementation mistake. The system and mutant are implemented in Java so they should be platform independent. The generated test cases are output in Java and is, when compiled, executable on these implementations. Execution scripts are included for Windows and Linux.

    The necessary files are provided as part of the Uppaal distribution in the directory demo/testcases/.

    The tutorial proceeds in three steps:

    1. Basic Test Cases Generation. Here you will learn the basic steps involved in annotating the model with test code, and generating simple test cases.
    2. Test cases with model-variables. Here you will learn how to insert the values of model variables into the test code, and how to generate a covering test suite.
    3. Generating testcases using queries (test purposes). Here you will learn to generate test cases based on test purpose queries.

    The concepts of Test Cases generation is explained in the Test Cases section.

    Using Queries

    This tutorial assumes you have understood using variables.

    The system model

    This tutorial uses the same Up/Down model as in the section using variables. Open the updown/updown.xml file in Uppaal.

    Editing the Queries

    Sometimes it is desirable to generate test cases for specific purposes. This can be done by creating a verification query for the purpose, and use that to generate a test trace.

    In the Verifier tab you can enter queries. The Test Cases generator is able to search for traces satisfying reachability queries (that is queries which start with E<>. The query entered in this tutorial should be E<> System.Max, which asks the verifier to find a trace where the System process is in the location Max.

    Test case queries

    Generating test traces from queries

    To generate test cases go to the Test Cases tab and activate the Query mode, and hit Add.

    Test Case Generation with queries

    This will generate a trace from the query file that leads to the Max location. You can inspect in the trace statistics that that location is infact now covered. By default, a test trace will be generated per query for all queries in the query file. In the drop-down selector you can chosse a specific query to generate and add.

    Resulting test trace

    Further, you can double click the trace and go to the Simulator tab and verify that this trace does indeed lead to the Max location. From the Off location this requires doing up ten successive times. Inspecting the test trace in Simulator

    Generating tests using the combined methodology

    As recommended, start by adding test cases for the test purposes (queries), then optimize coverage by the auto-depth mode, and finally single-step mode. This results in the three sections listed the test traces output panel.

    UPPAAL Help

    UPPAAL is a tool for modeling, validation and verification of real-time systems. It is appropriate for systems that can be modeled as a collection of non-deterministic processes with finite control structure and real-valued clocks (i.e. timed automata), communicating through channels and (or) shared data structures. Typical application areas include real-time controllers, communication protocols, and other systems in which timing aspects are critical.

    The UPPAAL tool consists of three main parts:

    • a graphical user interface (GUI),
    • a verification server, and
    • a command line tool.

    The GUI is used for modelling, symbolic simulation, concrete simulation, and verification. For both simulation and verification, the GUI uses the verification server. In simulation, the server is used to compute successor states. See also the section on setting up a remote server. The command line tool is a stand-alone verifier, appropriate for e.g. batch verifications.

    More information can be found at the UPPAAL web site: http://www.uppaal.org.

The User models the possible user interactions with the system.\nThe system can be either On or Off, with channels on and off changing between them. The user can non-deterministically press on or off.\nSystem template User template Add Test Cases specific model annotations First, some Test Cases specific declarations muse be made; these are required for the generator to use depth-first reachability and single step techniques for test-case generation.

Hence, these two variables must be declared in the global Declarations section:\nint __reach__ = 0; int __single__ = 0; Add test pre-fix and post-fix code Second, there are two blocks of comments in the System declarations section of the model. The contents of a multi-line comment starting with TEST_PREFIX or TEST_POSTFIX are ejected as prefix code (before the actual test case behavior) or postfix code (after actual test case behavior) for each test case.\nIn this example each test case is a Java class with a main method; executing this Java class constitutes running the test case. Therefore the prefix and postfix code is the wrapper code to setup this Java class.\n/** TEST_PREFIX package app; import app.App; class Test extends App { public static void main(String[] args) { */ /** TEST_POSTFIX } } */ The test case class extends the App class we are testing. If you use a specific unit test framework, these lines should be changed to match its requiements.

If a timed automaton is considered as a directed graph, then locations represent the vertices of this graph. Locations are connected by edges.\nNames Locations can have an optional name. Besides serving as an identifier allowing you to refer to the location from the requirement specification language, named locations are useful when documenting the model. The name must be a valid identifier and location names share the name space with variables, types, templates, etc.\nInvariants Locations are labelled with invariants. Invariants are expressions and thus follow the abstract syntax of expressions. However, the type checker restricts the set of possible expressions allowed in invariants.\nAn invariant must be a conjunction of simple conditions on clocks, differences between clocks, and boolean expressions not involving clocks. The bound must be given by an integer expression. Furthermore lower bounds on clocks are disallowed. It is important to understand that invariants influence the behaviour of the system \u0026ndash; they are distinctly different from specifying safety properties in the requirements specification language. States which violate the invariants are undefined; by definition, such states do not exist. This influences the interpretation of urgent channels and broadcast channels. Please see the section on synchronisations for a detailed discussion of this topic.\nIn addition, stopwatches are supported and they are declared within invariant expressions using Lagrangian derivative notation (x' == 0 for clock x) through conjunction (\u0026amp;\u0026amp; or and). Furthermore, the forall construct is accepted in invariants to ease use of clock arrays.\nStatistical model checker supports arbitrary floating point expression as a clock rate/derivative which allows modeling of dynamical costs. Dynamical cost variables declared as hybrid clock are abstracted away from symbolic analysis, which allows to combine statistical and symbolic queries over the same model.\nRate of Exponential The rate of exponential is a ratio expression which specifies the rate of exponential probability distribution. The rate expression can be a simple integer expression or two integer expressions separated by a colon like r:q where the rate is determined as ratio r/q.\nThe rate of exponential is used in a statistical model checking. If the location does not have an invariant over time, then it is assumed that the probability of leaving the location is distributed according to the exponential distribution: Pr(leaving after t)=1−e−λt, where e=2.718281828…, t is time and λ is the fixed rate. Probability density of the exponential distribution is λe−λt and thus intuitively λ means the probability density of leaving at time zero, i.e. as soon as some edge is enabled. The smaller the rate is specified, the longer the delay is preferred.\nThe generation of exact delay relies on pseudo random number generator and on 32-bit architectures the longest possible delay is rather limited: ln(231)/λ ≈ 21.49/λ.\nExamples The following are valid invariants. Here x and y are clocks and i is an integer array.\nx \u0026lt;= 2 x is less than or equal to 2. x \u0026lt; y x is (strictly) less than y. forall(i:int[0,2]) x[i] \u0026lt;= 3 The clocks x[0], x[1] and x[2] of the clock array x are less or equal to 3. forall(i:int[0,2]) y[i]' == b[i] The clock rates/derivatives y[0]', y[1]', and y[2]' are set to, respectively, b[0], b[1] and b[2]. Note that for symbolic queries the only valid values are 0 and 1. Setting the rate to 0 effectively stops a clock (makes it a stopwatch). In statistical model checking the rate is allowed to be any floating point expression. hybrid clock can be interpreted as a dynamical cost and abstracted away in symbolic queries while maintaining concrete values in statistical queries. Initial locations Each template must have exactly one initial location. The initial location is marked by a double circle.\nUrgent locations Urgent locations freeze time; i.e. time is not allowed to pass when a process is in an urgent location.\nSemantically, urgent locations are equivalent to:\nadding an extra clock, say x, that is reset on every incomming edge, and adding an invariant x \u0026lt;= 0 to the location. Committed locations Like urgent locations, committed locations also freeze time. Furthermore, if any process is in a committed location, the next transition must involve an edge from one of the committed locations.\nCommitted locations are useful for creating atomic sequences and for encoding synchronization between more than two components. Notice that if several processes are in a committed location at the same time, then they will interleave.\n\u0026ldquo;The Impressive Power of Stopwatches\u0026rdquo; by Frank Cassez and Kim G.

We assume the existence of a timed transition system (S, s0, →) as defined in the semantics of UPPAAL timed automata. In the following, p and q are state properties for which we define the following temporal properties:\nSee also Syntax of Symbolic Queries.\nPossibly The property E\u0026lt;\u0026gt; p evaluates to true for a timed transition system if and only if there is a sequence of delay and action transitions s0 → s1 → \u0026hellip; → sn, where s0 is the initial state and sn satisfies p.\nInvariantly The property A[] p evaluates to true if (and only if) every reachable state satisfy p.\nAn invariantly property A[] p can be expressed as the possibly property not E\u0026lt;\u0026gt; not p.\nPotentially always The property E[] p evaluates to true for a timed transition system if and only if there is a sequence of delay and action transitions s0 → s1 → \u0026hellip; → si → \u0026hellip; for which p holds in all states si and which either:\nis infinite, or ends in a state (Ln, vn) such that either for all d: (Ln, vn+d) satisfies p and Inv(Ln), or there is no outgoing transition from (Ln, vn) Eventually The property A\u0026lt;\u0026gt; p evaluates to true if (and only if) all possible transition sequences eventually reaches a state satisfying p.\nAn eventually property A\u0026lt;\u0026gt; p can be expressed as the potentially property not E[] not p.\nLeads To The syntax p --\u0026gt; q denotes a leads to property meaning that whenever p holds eventually q will hold as well. Since UPPAAL uses timed automata as the input model, this has to be interpreted not only over action transitions but also over delay transitions.\nA leads to property p --\u0026gt; q can be expressed as the property A[] (p imply A\u0026lt;\u0026gt; q) (note that the leads-to property is a special case and in general nested quantifiers are not supported).\nState Properties Any side-effect free expression is a valid state property. In addition it is possible to test whether a process is in a particular location and whether a state is a deadlock. State proprerties are evaluated for the initial state and after each transition. This means for example that a property A[] i != 1 might be satisfied even if the value of i becomes 1 momentarily during the evaluation of initializers or update-expressions on edges.\nLocations Expressions on the form P.ℓ, where P is a process and ℓ is a location, evaluate to true in a state (L, v) if and only if P.ℓ is in L.\nDeadlocks The state property deadlock evaluates to true for a state (L, v) if and only if for all d ≥ 0 there is no action successor of (L, v + d).\nProperty Equivalences The UPPAAL requirement specification language supports five types of properties, which can be reduced to two types as illustrated by the following table.\nName Property Equivalent to Possibly E\u0026lt;\u0026gt; p Invariantly A[] p not E\u0026lt;\u0026gt; not p Potentially always E[] p Eventually A\u0026lt;\u0026gt; p not E[] not p Leads to p --\u0026gt; q A[] (p imply A\u0026lt;\u0026gt; q) "},{"uri":"/gui-reference/concrete-simulator/simulation-control/","title":"Simulation Control","tags":[],"description":"","content":"The simulation control is the left panel of the simulator. It is used to control the simulation and to select the state or transition to be visualized in the others panels of the simulator. The control panel is divided in two parts:\nThe upper part is used for performing step-by-step simulation. The Transition chooser area is a clickable area where vertical axis displays the active transitions at this location and horizontal axis displays the time at which the transition will be fired. The time interval where a transition is enabled and the time interval where a transition is selectable are colored in different way. The time interval in which a transition can be fired (where the transition is selectable) is delimited by markers: one small circle at the beginning and one at the end of the interval (full if it is close, empty if it is open). When the mouse move to a selectable area, the color of the interval become brighter. By clicking one can select a specific transition and a specific time for firing the transition. The selected transition will be highlighted. The time selected is displayed in the Delay-combo box. One can also specified directly the time in the Delay-combo, once the transition has been selected. If one click in a non-selectable zone of a transition, the tool chooses the closest valid time. The Reset Delay-button is used to reset the delay to zero. Pressing the Take transition-button causes the simulated system to fire the selected transition at the specified time. The Reset-button is used to reset the simulated system to its initial state.\nThe lower part of the control panel, the Simulation Trace area, has a view displaying the generated trace. The displayed trace is an alternating sequence of control location vectors and transitions. The simulation always progresses from the highlighted element in this view. It is possible to change the selection using the mouse.\nThe Simulation Trace area contains a combo box that displays the current time (according to the hightlighted state in the trace) and the following buttons:\nFirst: highlights the first element in the trace.

The new template has the same automaton structure and the same local variables as the template it is defined from. However, arguments are provided for any formal parameters of the template, thus changing the interface of the template.\nInstantiation ::= ID [ \u0026#39;(\u0026#39; [Parameters] \u0026#39;)\u0026#39; ] \u0026#39;=\u0026#39; ID \u0026#39;(\u0026#39; [Arguments] \u0026#39;)\u0026#39; \u0026#39;;\u0026#39; Template instantiation is most often used to bind formal parameters to actual arguments. The resulting template is later instantiated into a process by listing it in the system line.\nThe new template can itself be parameterised. This provides the opportunity to make a partial instantiation of a template, where some formal parameters are bound while others remain free. Examples of typical uses are listed below.\nFor more examples, see the example systems included in the UPPAAL distribution.\nExamples Renaming P1 = Q(); P2 = Q(); system P1, P2; Q is a template without any formal parameters. P1 and P2 become templates identical to Q. This is used to make several instances of Q with different names. Notice that P1=Q() is a shorthand of P1()=Q().\nBinding parameters In this example we use the textual syntax for template declaration as used in the XTA format. In the GUI, these templates would be defined graphically.\nprocess R(int \u0026amp;i, const int j) { ... } int x; S = R(x, 1); system S; Here we bind the formal parameters of R, i and j, to x and 1 respectively. S becomes a template without any parameters. When listed in the system line, S is instantiated into a process with the same name.\nPartial instantiation In this example we use the textual syntax for template declaration as used in the XTA format. In the GUI, these templates would be defined graphically.\nprocess P(int \u0026amp;x, int y, const int n, const int m) { ... } int v, u; const struct { int a, b, c; } data[2] = { { 1, 2, 3 }, { 4, 5, 6 } }; Q(int \u0026amp;x, const int i) = P(x, data[i].a, data[i].b, 2 * data[i].c); Q1 = Q(v, 0); Q2 = Q(u, 1); system Q1, Q2; Here P is a template with four formal parameters integer parameters. The first must be passed by reference, the remaining by value. Q is a template with two formal integer parameters. The first must be passed by reference, the second by value. Q1 is equivalent to P(v, data[0].a, data[0].b, 2 * data[0].c.\nThis is very convenient when defining many instances of the same template with almost the same arguments. It is also useful to bind some formal parameters and leave others free. When the resulting template is listed in the system line, UPPAAL will create a process for each possible combination of arguments to the free parameters.\n"},{"uri":"/language-reference/system-description/declarations/types/","title":"Types","tags":[],"description":"","content":"There are 6 predefined types: int, bool, clock, chan, double and string.

Any assignment out of range will cause the verification to abort.\nVariables of type bool can have the values false and true, which are equivalent to the the integer values 0 and 1. Like in C, any non-zero integer value evalutes to true and 0 evaluates to false.\nChannels can be declared as urgent and/or broadcast channels. See the section on synchronisations for information on urgent and broadcast channels.\nFloating-point variables of the double-type behave like C-double. Doubles values are not supported in the symbolic verification and simulation engine and are simply ignored, which can lead to unexpected results.\nVariables of string type must be declared constant. The primary use of string variables is in combination with External Functions\nConstants Integers, booleans, doubles strings, and arrays and records over integers and booleans can be marked constant by prefixing the type with the keyword const.\nMeta variables Integers, booleans, doubles, and arrays and records over integers and booleans can be marked as meta variables by prefixing the type with the keyword meta.\nMeta variables are stored outside of the state vector and are semantically not considered part of the state. I.e. two states that only differ in meta variables are considered to be equal.\nArrays The size of an array is specified either as an integer or as a bounded integer type or scalar set type. In the first case the array will be 0-indexed. In the latter case, the index will be of the given type. The following declares a scalar set s_t of size 3 and an integer array a of size 3 indexed by the scalar:\ntypedef scalar[3] s_t; int a[s_t]; Record Variables Record types are specified by using the struct keyword, following the C notation. For example, the record s below consist of the two fields a and b:\nstruct { int a; int b; } s; Scalars Scalars in UPPAAL are integer like elements with a limitted number of operations: Assignment and identity testing. Only scalars from the same scalar set can be compared.\nThe limitted number of operations means that scalars are unordered (or that all orders are equivalent in the sense that the model cannot distinguish between any of the them). UPPAAL applies symmetry reduction to any model using scalars. Symmetry reduction can lead to dramatic reductions of the state space of the model. resulting in faster verification and less memory being used.\nNotice that symmetry reduction is not applied if diagnostic trace generation is enabled or when A\u0026lt;\u0026gt;, E[] or --\u0026gt; properties are verified.\nScalar sets are treated as types. New scalar sets are constructed with the scalar[n] type constructor, where n is an integer indicating the size of the scalar set. Scalars of different scalar sets are incomparable. Use typedef to name a scalar set such that is can be used several times, e.g.\ntypedef scalar[3] mySet; mySet s; int a[mySet]; Here mySet is a scalar set of size 3, s is a variable whos value belongs to the scalar set mySet and a is an array of integers indexed by the scalar set mySet. Thus a[s] = 2 is a valid expression.\nCharacter Strings or Textual Type UPPAAL supports text constants via const string type for calling External Functions and refering to file system paths.\nFor example:\nconst string text = \u0026#34;message\u0026#34;; "},{"uri":"/toolsandapi/uppaal/","title":"UPPAAL","tags":[],"description":"","content":"UPPAAL can be executed from the command line using the following command on unix:\nuppaal [OPTION] \u0026hellip; [FILENAME]\nOn windows, the following command can be used (for instance, using \u0026ldquo;Run\u0026rdquo; from the Start Menu):\njava -jar \\path\\uppaal.jar [OPTION] \u0026hellip; [FILENAME]\nwhere path is the complete path to the uppaal.jar file (it might also be necessary to specify the complete path to the java executable).\nThe optional filename refers to a model to be loaded at startup.\nThe available command line options are:\n--antialias on|off (default on) turns antialiasing on or off in the automata rendering. --engineName The name of verification server (default is server on Unix and server.exe on Windows) to be used by the GUI. --enginePath The path to the verification server (e.g. bin-Windows) to be used by the GUI. --help Displays a summary of options. --serverHost Host name of remote machine running verification server. --serverPort Port number used by verification server on remote machine. --export templateName filename.ext Export the named template to a graphics file.

The state On is different, since here we want to verify the value of the variable val as well as the location. This is done by entering the value of val into the test case using the code expect_on($(System.val));. This will execute the expect_on with the value of val as parameter. Since val is local to the process System the name is entered as System.val. Generating the test cases Like the basic case, to generate test cases go to the Test Cases tab.Select which techniques for test case generation to use. For now only select Depth auto mode and a depth of 20. Click Add to generate the test cases. Inspecting the coverage The test generation will normally generate 2-3 test case traces (depending on randomization). Here 3 traces were generated. Each trace generated will have a line in the list similar to Trace coverage: 5/8. This shows that the trace covered five out of eight edges. Selecting a specific trace will show furter coverage statistics about that trace, i.e., which locations/edges are traversed how many times. Here, the System\u0026rsquo;s edge from location On to On has been traversed 6 times, whereas the edge from On to Off is traversed 0 times, revealing that it is not covered by this trace.\nBy double clicking the trace and then selecting the Simulator tab, the trace can be further examined. By selecting Mark Visited in the View menu, all covered edges will be colored blue in the simulator.\nThe total coverage achieved by the previous steps can be viewed by clicking the Total Coverage button which updates the trace statistics with the combined coverage. Due to the randomness of the model and the test case generation algorithm it is unlikely to get 100% coverage. Here, 1 location and 3 edges are left uncovered.\nCompleting coverage using the Single Step method This coverage can be increased by using the Single step method. This method searches for traces for uncovered edges. Adding these, should result in a number of test trace being added (here one, thus four in total) giving 8/8 in total coverage, thereby achieving the desired high coverage; here complete edge- and location-coverage.\nInspecting the test case code Save the test cases using the Save Test Cases button; select the output folder for test case to be the updown folder in this tutorial. This will produce a test-case file named testcase0.code in the selected output folder. If several traces have been generated, several files will be generated with sequential numbering.\nEach of these will be a Java class with the sequence of method invocations induce by the generated trace.

Elements can be selected by clicking on them or by dragging a rubber band arround one or more elements. Elements can be added or removed from a selection by holding down the control key while clicking on the element. The current selection can be moved by dragging them with the mouse. Double clicking an element brings up the editor for that element. Right clicking an element brings up a pop-up menu from which properties of the element can be changed. It is possible to change the source and target of an edge by moving the mouse to the beginning or end of an edge until a small circle appears. Drag this circle to a new location in order to change the source or target of the edge. Location tool: The location tool is used to add new locations. Simply click with the left mouse button in order to add a new location. Branch tool: The branch tool is used to create probabilistic branches. Simply click with the left mouse button in order to add a new branch point, then choose edge tool to create connecting edges. Edge tool: The edge tool is used to add new edges between locations. Start the edge by clicking on the source location, then click in order to place nails and finally click the target location. The operation can be cancelled by pressing the right mouse button. Nail tool: The nail tool is used to add new nails to an edge. Simply click and drag anywhere on an edge to add and place a new nail. For users with a three button mouse, the middle mouse button can be used to create new elements. The editor automatically chooses the correct tool: Clicking on an empty spot creates a new location, clicking on a location creates a new edge and clicking on an edge creates a new nail. With this feature it is possible to use the functionallity of all four tools without having to select the tools directly.\nColors The display color of individual locations and edges can be changed from the pop-up menu for these elements. UPPAAL does not assign any semantic meaning to the colors of locations and edges.\nComments Comments can be added to locations and edges.

Edges are annotated with selections, guards, synchronisations and updates. Edges may also have branches of possible destinations with their own updates and probabilistic weights.\nSelections Selections non-deterministically bind a given identifier to a value in a given range. The other three labels of an edge are within the scope of this binding. Guards An edge is enabled in a state if and only if the guard evaluates to true. Synchronisation Processes can synchronize over channels. Edges labelled with complementary actions over a common channel synchronise. Updates When an edge is traversed, the update expression of the edge is evaluated. The side effect of this expression changes the state of the system. Weights Edges emanating from a branchpoint can be assigned a probabilistic weight. The probability such edge-transition is proportional to the edge weight and inversely proportional to the sum of weights over all edges leaving that branchpoint. Selections SelectList ::= ID \u0026#39;:\u0026#39; Type | SelectList \u0026#39;,\u0026#39; ID \u0026#39;:\u0026#39; Type For each ID in SelectList, bind ID non-deterministically to a value of type Type domain. The identifiers are available as variables within the other labels of this edge (guard, synchronization, or update). The supported types are bounded integers and scalar sets. Note: The identifiers will shadow any variables with the same name.\nExample Select: i : int[0,3]\nSynchronization: a[i]?\nUpdate: receive_a(i)\nThis edge will non-deterministically bind i to an integer in the range 0 to 3, inclusive. The value i is then used both as an array index when deciding what channel to synchronize on, and as an argument in the subsequent call to the function receive_a.\nGuards Guards follow the abstract syntax of expressions. However, the type checker restricts the set of possible expressions allowed in guards: A guard must be a conjunction of simple conditions on clocks, differences between clocks, and boolean expressions not involving clocks. The bound must be given by an integer expression.\nExamples x \u0026gt;= 1 \u0026amp;\u0026amp; x \u0026lt;= 2 x is in the interval [1,2]. x \u0026lt; y x is (strictly) less than y. (i[0]+1) != (i[1]*10) Value at position 0 in an integer array i plus one is not equal to value at position 1 times 10 (i must be an integer array since we use arithmetic operations on its elements). Synchronisations Channels are used to synchronise processes. This is done by annotating edges in the model with synchronisation labels. Synchronisation labels are syntactically very simple. They are of the form e? or e!, where e is a side effect free expression evaluating to a channel.\nThe intuition is that two processes can synchronise on enabled edges annotated with complementary synchronisation labels, i.e. two edges in different processes can synchronise if the guards of both edges are satisfied, and they have synchronisation labels e1? and e2! respectively, where e1 and e2 evaluate to the same channel.\nWhen two processes synchronise, both edges are fired at the same time, i.e. the current location of both processes is changed. The update expression on an edge synchronizing on e1! is executed before the update expression on an edge synchronizing on e2?. This is similar to the kind of synchronisation used in CCS or to rendezvous synchronisation in SPIN.\nUrgent channels are similar to regular channels, except that it is not possible to delay in the source state if it is possible to trigger a synchronisation over an urgent channel. Notice that clock guards are not allowed on edges synchronising over urgent channels.\nBroadcast channels allow 1-to-many synchronisations. The intuition is that an edge with synchronisation label e! emits a broadcast on the channel e and that any enabled edge with synchronisation label e? will synchronise with the emitting process. I.e. an edge with an emit-synchronisation on a broadcast channel can always fire (provided that the guard is satisfied), no matter if any receiving edges are enabled. But those receiving edges, which are enabled will synchronise. Notice that clock guards are not allowed on edges receiving on a broadcast channel. The update on the emitting edge is executed first. The update on the receiving edges are executed left-to-right in the order the processes are given in the system definition.\nNotice that for both urgent and broadcast channels it is important to understand when an edge is enabled. An edge is enabled if the guard is satisfied. Depending on the invariants, the target state might be undefined. This does not change the fact that the edges are enabled! E.g. when two edges in two different processes synchronise via a broadcast channel, and the invariant of the target location of the receiving edge is violated, then this state is not defined. It is not the case that the emitting edge can be fired by itself since the receiving edge is enabled and thus must synchronise. Please see the section about the semantics for further details.\nUpdates An update is a comma separated list of expressions. These expressions will typically have side effects. Assignments to clocks are limited to the regular = assignment operator and only integer expressions are allowed on the right hand side of such assignments. The syntax of updates is defined by the grammar for Update:\nUpdate ::= [Expression (\u0026#39;,\u0026#39; Expression)*] Note: Assignments are evaluated sequentially (not concurrently). On synchronizing edges, the assignments on the !-side (the emitting side) are evaluated before the ?-side (the receiving side).\nThe regular assignment operator, =, can be used for assigning values to integer, boolean, record and clock variables. The other assignment operators are limitted to integer and boolean variables and work as in C, e.g. i += 2 is equivalent to i = i + 2 except that any side effect of evaluating i is only executed once in the first case whereas it is executed twice in the latter case.\nPlease remember that any integers are bounded. Any attempt to assign a value outside the declared range to an integer, will cause an error and the verification will be aborted.\nExamples x = 0 clock (or integer variable) x is reset. j = ( i[1]\u0026gt;i[2] ? i[1] : i[2] ) integer j is assigned the maximum value of array elements i[1] and i[2]. This is equivalent to j = i[1] \u0026gt;? i[2], except that one of the sub-expressions is evaluated twice in the example (once in the condition, and again in either the true case or the false case). x = 1, y = 2 * x integer variable x is set to 1 and y to 2 (as assignments are interpreted sequentially). Weights The weight over branch is a constant non-negative integer expressions denoting the probabilistic likely-hood of the branch being executed. The probability of a particular branch is determined as a ratio of its weight over the sum of weights of all branches emanating from the same branch node.\nThe weights are used in probabilistic and statistical model checking.\nExample Select: i : int[0,3]\nUpdate: gen_data(i)\nWeight: w[i]\n"},{"uri":"/gui-reference/menu-bar/edit/","title":"Edit Menu","tags":[],"description":"","content":"The Edit menu offers a set of commands supported in the system editor.

A template is instantiated by a process assignment (in the system definition).\n"},{"uri":"/gui-reference/toolbar/","title":"Tool Bar","tags":[],"description":"","content":"The tool bar is normally located just below the menu bar but can be moved (using the mouse) to other positions or even to a separate window.

A verification is always performed according to the settings specified in the Options menu of the main menu bar.\nThe selected queries are verified when the button named Check is pressed. The verification progress dialog displays the progress of how many queries have been verified, what is the current load of a passed-waiting list, current processor time usage (the time spent for verification is in blue, the time spent by operating system is in red), current usage of host\u0026rsquo;s random access memory (verification memory is in blue, memory used by other running processes is in gray and operating system cache and buffers are in yellow), swap disk usage (swapped out verification is in blue, other is in grey). Note that resource figures do not include the overhead of UPPAAL GUI and command line utilities (like memtime run on verifyta) are more accurate. Some figures are not available on some OSes (system cache allocation is not documented on Windows API and swap usage per process is not maintained by Linux kernel), therefore they might not show up.\nThe verification output is displayed in the Status field at the bottom of the verifier panel. The result is also indicated by the circular markers in the rightmost column of the Overview panel. A grey marker indicates that the truth value of the property is unknown, a green marker that the property is satisfied, and a red marker that the property is not satisfied.\nIn case the Over Approximation or the Under Approximation options are selected for State Space Representation, the output of the verifier might be that property is \u0026ldquo;maybe satisfied\u0026rdquo;. This happens when the verifier cannot determine the truth value of the property due to the approximations used.\nStatistical Model Checking Parameters for statistical model checking can be changed in the Options menu. Various data plots (if available) can be accessed via popup-menu by right-clicking the statistical property. The y-axis always denotes a probability or its density, while x-axis denotes either the variable values limited by the statistical query or a step (transition) count in the model run.\nProbability density distribution A histogram created from probability distribution where each bucket is normalized by a bucket width. Useful for comparison of various distributions, potentially with different bucket widths. Probability distribution A histogram created from a frequency histogram where each bucket is normalized by a total number of runs. Useful for assessing a probability of a property being satisfied at a particular moment in time interval. Cumulative probability distribution A histogram created by adding up all frequency histogram buckets up to the current bucket and normalized by a total number of runs. Confidence Intervals for Probabilities The confidence intervals for probabilities are computed using Clopper-Pearson method (also known as \u0026ldquo;exact\u0026rdquo;) for binomial distribution for a given level of confidence (1-α). The method is conservative in a sense that it guarantees the minimum coverage of the real probability in (1-α) of cases. In the plots, the estimated confidence is valid only for one bucket at a time (the gathered data is reused to compute each individual bucket). Confidence Intervals for Mean The confidence intervals for mean estimation are computed using quantiles of Student\u0026rsquo;s t-distribution for a given level of confidence of 1-α. Note that t-distribution approaches the commonly used Normal (Gaussian) distribution when the number of samples is high. Frequency histogram The frequency histogram is created by calculating the number of runs satisfying the property at a particular moment in time interval. Useful for calculating the number of runs. Any plot can be customized from a popup menu by right-clicking on the plot.\nFurther, the plot labels and titles can be edited and several data sets can be superimposed in one figure by using Plot Composer, accessible from the Tools menu. It is possible to create several composite plots at a time by invoking Plot Composer multiple times.\nSee also:\nUPPAAL SMC tutorial, Alexandre David, Kim G.

The first list maps in the discrete space (values interpreted as distinct categories) and the second list maps in continuous space (assumes distance between values: similar values yield similar cost). See rail road diagram for the entire LearningQuery syntax.\nExamples minE(cost) [\u0026lt;=10] : \u0026lt;\u0026gt; goal learns a strategy that minimizes the expected cost expression within 10 time units or when goal predicate becomes true given that the entire system state is observable. maxE(gain) [\u0026lt;=10] : \u0026lt;\u0026gt; goal learns a strategy that maximizes the expected gain expression withing 10 time units or when goal predicate becomes true given that the entire system state is observable. The goal predicate is deprecated, for best results use a predicate which stops together with the simulation bound, like t\u0026gt;=10, where t is a clock that is never reset.\nminE(cost) [\u0026lt;=10] { i, j } -\u0026gt; { d, f } : \u0026lt;\u0026gt; goal learns a strategy that minimizes the expected cost expression within 10 time units or when goal predicate becomes true. Where only the expressions i, j, d and f are observable. The {..} -\u0026gt; {..} syntax controls what is observable. On one hand, by observing only a partial state learning times can be significantly reduced and the strategy structure simplified. On the other hand, the resulting strategy is not guaranteed to converge to a optimal solution under partial observability. There are two types of observable state expressions: discrete and continuous. The discrete are specified in the first bracket and the continuous in the second: {discrete expressions} -\u0026gt; {continuous expressions}. By default the entire state is considered during learning. Discrete expressions are observed as they are, i.e the query minE(cost) [\u0026lt;=10] { i, j } -\u0026gt; { } : \u0026lt;\u0026gt; goal creates a strategy by only observing the values of i and j.\nContinuous expressions are discretized using online partition refinement (see Teaching Stratego to Play Ball). The query minE(cost) [\u0026lt;=10] { } -\u0026gt; { d, f } : \u0026lt;\u0026gt; goal learns a strategy based on the discretized expressions d and f.\nIntegers, clocks, floating points or even arbitrary expressions can be used in either type of observabilty. However we suggest caution when using floating point numbers or clocks in discrete observability.\nProcess locations are ignored when specifying observability unless explicitly specified using location keyword. For example Cat.location and Mouse.location refer to the locations of Cat and Mouse processes.\nThe learning queries are usually used together with strategy assignment and refinement explained in Strategy Queries.\n"},{"uri":"/gui-reference/system-editor/declarations/","title":"Declarations","tags":[],"description":"","content":"Types, constants, variables and functions can be defined in the global scope by placing them in the global section labelled Declarations or System declarations, or locally for a template by placing in the Declarations section of a template.\nProcesses are instantiated by placing a process assignments in the System declarations section.\nFinally, the system is defined as a parallel composition of a number of processes by placing a system declaration in the System declarations section.\nThe syntax for each of these sections is defined in the Language Reference.\n"},{"uri":"/language-reference/expressions/","title":"Expressions","tags":[],"description":"","content":"Most of the expression syntax of UPPAAL coincides with that of C, C++ and Java.

The inline-if operator does in some cases (e.g. when both the true and false operands evaluate to compatible references) also evaluate to a reference, i.e., it is possible to use an inline-if on the left hand side of an assignment.\nThe use of the deadlock keyword is restricted to the requirement specification language.\nSee rail road diagram for the entire Expression syntax.\nBoolean Values Boolean values are type compatible with integers. An integer value of 0 (zero) is evaluated to false and any other integer value is evaluated to true. The boolean value true evaluates to the integer value 1 and the boolean value false evaluates to the integer value 0. Notice: A comparison like 5 == true evaluates to false, since true evaluates to the integer value 1. This is consistent with C++.\nPrecedence UPPAAL operators have the following associativity and precedence, listed from the highest to lowest. Operators borrowed from C keep the same precedence relationship with each other.\nAssociativity Operator left () [] . right ! not ++ -- unary - unary + left * / % left binary - binary + left \u0026lt;\u0026lt; \u0026gt;\u0026gt; left \u0026lt;? \u0026gt;? left \u0026lt; \u0026lt;= \u0026gt;= \u0026gt; left == != left \u0026amp; left ^ left | left \u0026amp;\u0026amp; and left || or imply right ?: right = := += -= *= /= %= \u0026amp;= |= \u0026lt;\u0026lt;= \u0026gt;\u0026gt;= ^= left forall exists sum Operators Anybody familiar with the operators in C, C++, Java or Perl should immediately feel comfortable with the operators in UPPAAL. Here we summarise the meaning of each operator.\nOperator Description Example () Parenthesis alter the evaluation order 3 * (5 - 2) → 9 [] Array lookup my_array[0] . Infix lookup operator to access process or structure type scope my_struct.field1 ! Logical negation ! true → false not Logical negation not true → false ++ Increment (can be used as both prefix and postfix operator) ++counter counter++ -- Decrement (can be used as both prefix and postfix operator) --counter counter-- - Integer subtraction (can also be used as unary negation:-7) 5 - 3 → 2 + Integer addition (can also be used as unary plus: +7) 5 + 3 → 8 * Integer multiplication 5 * 3 → 15 / Integer division 5 / 3 → 1 % Modulo 5 % 3 → 2 \u0026lt;\u0026lt; Left bitshift 1 \u0026lt;\u0026lt; 4 → 16 \u0026gt;\u0026gt; Right bitshift 16 \u0026gt;\u0026gt; 4 → 1 \u0026lt;?

For example, x ? 1 : 2 is interpreted as (x != 0) ? 1 : 2.\nA few binary operators can be syntactically combined with assignment to produce a compact assignment expression:\nOperator Assignment Example Meaning + += x += y x = x + y - -= x -= y x = x - y * *= x *= y x = x * y / /= x /= y x = x / y % %= x %= y x = x % y \u0026amp; \u0026amp;= x \u0026amp;= y x = x \u0026amp; y ^ ^= x ^= y x = x ^ y | |= x |= y x = x | y \u0026lt;\u0026lt; \u0026lt;\u0026lt;= x \u0026lt;\u0026lt;= y x = x \u0026lt;\u0026lt; y \u0026gt;\u0026gt; \u0026gt;\u0026gt;= x \u0026gt;\u0026gt;= y x = x \u0026gt;\u0026gt; y Expressions Involving Clocks When involving clocks, the actual expression syntax is restricted by the type checker. Expressions involving clocks are divided into three categories: Invariants, guards, and constraints:\nAn invariant is a conjunction of upper bounds on clocks and differences between clocks, where the bound is given by an integer expression, and clock rates. A guard is a conjunction of bounds (both upper and lower) on clocks and differences between clocks, where the bound is given by an integer expression. A constraint is any boolean combination (involving negation, conjunction, disjunction and implication) of bounds on clocks and differences between clocks, where the bound is given by an integer expression. In addition, any of the three expressions can contain expressions (including disjunctions) over integers, as long as invariants and guards are still conjunctions at the top-level. The full constraint language is only allowed in the requirement specification language.\nOut of Range Errors and Invalid Evaluations An evaluation of an expression is invalid if out of range errors occur during evalution. This happens in the following situations:\nDivision by zero. Shift operation with negative count. Out of range assignment. Out of range array index. Assignment of a negative value to a clock. Function calls with out of range arguments. Function calls with out of range return values. In case an invalid evaluation occurs during the computation of a successor, i.e., in the evaluation of a guard, synchronisation, assignment, or invariant, then the verification is aborted.\nQuantifiers An expression forall (ID : Type) Expr evaluates to true if Expr evaluates to true for all values ID of the type Type. An expression exists (ID : Type) Expr evaluates to true if Expr evaluates to true for some value ID of the type Type. In both cases, the scope of ID is the inner expression Expr, and Type must be a bounded integer or a scalar set.\nExample The following function can be used to check if all elements of the boolean array a have the value true.\nbool alltrue(bool a[5]) { return forall (i : int[0,4]) a[i]; } Sum An expression sum (ID : Type) Expr evaluates to an integer and is equal to the sum of the expressions evaluated with ID ranging over the given type argument. Boolean or state predicates (in TCTL expressions only) are accepted but not clock constraints. The expressions must be side-effect free. The type must be a bounded integer or a scalar set.\nMITL Expressions Statistical model checking (SMC) supports the full logic of weighted metric interval temporal logic (MITL). The syntax of MITL expressions is defined by the grammar for MITLExpression.\nMITLExpression = BExpr | (MITLExpression \u0026amp;\u0026amp; MITLExpression) | (MITLExpression || MITLExpression) | (MITLExpression \u0026#39;U\u0026#39; \u0026#39;[\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;,\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;]\u0026#39; MITLExpression) | (MITLExpression \u0026#39;R\u0026#39; \u0026#39;[\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;,\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;]\u0026#39; MITLExpression) | (\u0026#39;X\u0026#39; MITLExpression) | (\u0026#39;\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u0026#39; \u0026#39;[\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;,\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;]\u0026#39; MITLExpression) | (\u0026#39;[]\u0026#39; \u0026#39;[\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;,\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;]\u0026#39; MITLExpression); BExpr describes a Boolean expression over clocks, variables, and locations. See rail road diagram of entire MITLExpression syntax: Floating Point Type Support Statistical model checking (SMC) supports double precision floating point type double. The clock variables also have floating point values in SMC. Symbolic and statistical model checking can be applied on the same model provided that double and hybrid clock type variables do not influencing the model logic, i.e. they cannot be used in guard and invariant constraints (but can be used in ODE expressions).\nThe following is the list of builtin floating point functions (mostly imported from C math library, hence the C math manual can be

External functions are local to the current scope, defined by the grammar:\nExternDecl = \u0026#39;import\u0026#39; Path \u0026#39;{\u0026#39; [FwdDeclList] \u0026#39;}\u0026#39; FwdDeclList = FwdDecl \u0026#39;;\u0026#39; | FwdDeclList FwdDecl \u0026#39;;\u0026#39; FwdDecl = [ID \u0026#39;=\u0026#39;] Type ID \u0026#39;(\u0026#39; [Parameters] \u0026#39;)\u0026#39; Path is a double-quoted (using \u0026quot;) character sequence (string) denoting a file path to the library placed on the same computer as the used engine (server or verifyta).\nNote that the backslash (\\) character in (Windows) paths needs to be either escaped with another backslash or replaced with the forwardslash (/), i.e. \\ should be replaced with either \\\\ or /. For example, \u0026quot;C:\\libexternal.dll\u0026quot; should be written as \u0026quot;C:\\\\libexternal.dll\u0026quot; or \u0026quot;C:/libexternal.dll\u0026quot;. The following code will load the external libary libexternal.so from the path /home/user/lib and import the functions get_sqrt, get_prime, fibonacci, is_the_world_safe and set_temperature. The function is_the_world_safe will be accessible using the name is_safe.\nEven though UPPAAL attempts to locate the library at several default paths, we recommend using a fully qualified path to the library file.\nIf you are using integers in external function, we recommend defining a full integer range in order to avoid UPPAAL int range ([-32768,32767]) errors.\nconst int INT32_MIN = -2147483648; // not needed since UPPAAL 5.0 (Stratego 4.1.20-11) const int INT32_MAX = 2147483647; // not needed since UPPAAL 5.0 (Stratego 4.1.20-11) typedef int[INT32_MIN,INT32_MAX] int32_t; // not needed since UPPAAL 5.0 (Stratego 4.1.20-11) import \u0026#34;/home/user/lib/libexternal.so\u0026#34; { int32_t get_sqrt(int32_t n); int32_t get_prime(int index); int32_t fibonacci(int32_t n); is_safe = bool is_the_world_safe(); void set_temperature(int degrees); }; Type Conversion and Restrictions The types transfarable between UPPAAL and external functions are curretly limited to bool, int, double, clock, chan, ptr_t and string. Omitting complex types such as structs and nested data structures. Only single-dimentional arrays are supported on only mutable types; arrays of chan and strings are not currently supported.\nThe following table summarizes the current support:\nUPPAAL Type C Type By Value Return Array bool bool x x x int int32_t x x x double double x x x clock double x chan const char* ptr_t size_t x x x string const char* \u0026lt;type\u0026gt;[] \u0026lt;type\u0026gt; A violation of a range of a bounded integer (either pass-by-reference or return) will cause a runtime error.\nResource Initialization and Release The library is loaded during document parsing and the library can be instructed to initialize and release its resources using Special Functions.\nDefining External Library An external library can be compiled from C or C++ code and linked into a shared library. UPPAAL uses C symbol name mangling, so C++ compiler needs to be instructed to export \u0026quot;C\u0026quot; names, whereas C compiler does it by default.\nThe following C/C++ code implements the library functions used for the example above.\nDeclarations in external.h (useful for testing outside UPPAAL):\n#ifndef LIBRARY_EXTERNAL_H #define LIBRARY_EXTERNAL_H #ifdef __cplusplus extern \u0026#34;C\u0026#34; { // tells C++ compiler to use C symbol name mangling (C compiler ignores) #endif // __cplusplus // Computes a square root and truncates to an integer int get_sqrt(int n); /// Retrieves a number from a table at specified index int get_prime(int index); /// Computes n-th number in Fibonacci series int fibonacci(int n); /// Consults with an external world bool is_the_world_safe(); /// Sets the global temperature void set_temperature(int value); #ifdef __cplusplus } // end of \u0026#34;C\u0026#34; symbol name mangling #endif // __cplusplus #endif // LIBRARY_EXTERNAL_H Implementation (definition) in external.cpp:\n#include \u0026#34;external.h\u0026#34; #include \u0026lt;vector\u0026gt; #include \u0026lt;cmath\u0026gt; #ifdef __cplusplus extern \u0026#34;C\u0026#34; { // tells C++ compiler to use C symbol name mangling (C compiler ignores) #endif // __cplusplus int get_sqrt(int n) { return std::sqrt(n); } int get_prime(const int index) { static const int primes[] = { 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41 }; if (index \u0026lt; 0 || sizeof(primes)/sizeof(primes[0]) \u0026lt; static_cast\u0026lt;size_t\u0026gt;(index)) return -1; return primes[index]; } int fibonacci(const int n) { static auto series = std::vector\u0026lt;int\u0026gt;{0,1,1}; // memoize if (n \u0026lt; 0) return -1; if (series.size() \u0026lt;= static_cast\u0026lt;size_t\u0026gt;(n)) { // need to extend the series auto i = series.size(); series.resize(n+1); for (; i \u0026lt; series.size(); ++i) series[i] = series[i-1] + series[i-2]; } return series[n]; } static int temperature = 21; // external state bool is_the_world_safe() { return temperature \u0026lt; 37; } void set_temperature(const int value){ temperature = value; } #ifdef __cplusplus } // end of \u0026#34;C\u0026#34; symbol name mangling #endif // __cplusplus Execute the following shell commands to compile the source external.cpp into object file external.o and then link external.o into a shared library libexternal.so:\ng++ -std=c++17 -Wpedantic -Wall -Wextra -fPIC -g -Og -o external.o -c external.cpp gcc -shared -o libexternal.so external.o For optimized builds replace -g Og with -DNDEBUG -O3 in the above command and strip the details with strip libexternal.so.\nFor more library examples please visit uppaal-libs repository.\nAssumptions UPPAAL assumes that the external function calls produce deterministic outcomes: for any argument values, the function produces the same outcome when called with the same values at any time.\nUPPAAL does not check and will not warn if an external function is behaving non-deterministically.\nIt is user\u0026rsquo;s responsibility to guarantee that the supplied external functions behave deterministically.\nExamples:\nPure (stateless or free) functions do not depend on static variables and do not communicate with outside world, therefore behave deterministically. For example, get_sqrt function above. Lookup functions like get_prime depend on static data, but it is immutable, therefore the function is deterministic too. Memoized functions like fibonacci modify static variable, but all the looked up values are computed only once, therefore calls produce deterministic results. Functions consulting with an external or shared mutable state (like is_the_world_safe) produce state-dependent outcomes, therefore may produce different results at different call sites even if the same argument values are passed. Such functions are non-deterministic and are not supported. The effects of non-deterministic functions are undefined due to undefined order of execution. Simulators and Verifier execute transitions in unspecified order corresponding to very different parts of the state space, thus unrelated transitions may share the library data in unintended ways and thus produce bogus varying results.\nSome state-dependent functions can be forced to behave determistically if the model state is synchronized with the library state during the same model transition. For example, call to is_the_world_safe() is safe if set_temperature(int) is called before on the same transition (could be on the same edge or on different edges synchronized over a channel).\nDebugging Inspect the library file using file /home/user/lib/libexternal.so:\nlibexternal.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, ...

On the left of the chart is a list of the activities and along the top is a suitable time scale. Each activity is represented by a bar; the position and length of the bar reflect the start date, duration and end date of the activity.\nIn UPPAAL Gantt Charts are used to automatic visualize traces in Concrete Simulator. One needs to specify the list of activities and for each activity, what the different colored parts of the bar should reflect.\nThe Gantt Chart specification is placed after the system definition.

The second part (the one after the colon) specifies for each activity, what the bar should reflect. An instance of GanttExpr consists of two expressions. The one before -\u0026gt; is evaluated to a boolean value. If it is evaluated to true, the expression after -\u0026gt; will be evaluated to an integer. Note that this integer is not necessarily a constant. The integer will be map to a color (e.g. 0 will be map to red and 1 to green), which is the color of the bar when the expression is evaluated to true. GanttDeclSelect and for (...) are to be considered as syntax shortcuts rather than constructs.\nExamples Sample color definitions:\nconst int C_RED = 0; const int C_GREEN = 1; const int C_BLUE = 2; const int C_PURPLE = 3; const int C_ORANGE = 5; const int C_YELLOW = 6; const int C_CYAN = 9; gantt { Red: true -\u0026gt; C_RED; Colors(i:int[0,32]): true -\u0026gt; i; } Scheduling gantt { Task(i : pid_t): Task(i).Ready -\u0026gt; 1, Task(i).Running -\u0026gt; 2, Task(i).Blocked -\u0026gt; 3, Task(i).Error -\u0026gt; 0, for(j : sid_t) Task(i).sema[j] -\u0026gt; 6; Scheduler: len==0 -\u0026gt; 0, len\u0026gt;0 -\u0026gt; 1; } Train Gate gantt { Xxxx: Train(0).Cross -\u0026gt; 0, Train(1).Cross -\u0026gt; 1, Train(2).Cross -\u0026gt; 2; Gate: true -\u0026gt; Gate.len; } Once declared, the Gantt chart is rendered in Concrete Simulator when enabled in the menu View \u0026gt; Gantt Chart.\n"},{"uri":"/toolsandapi/javaapi/","title":"Java API","tags":[],"description":"","content":"UPPAAL models can be created, loaded, saved, simulated and checked using libs/model.jar library.

However, if the samples are constrained to either 0 or 1 and we observe a repetitive sequence of 30 successes we could conclude much earlier with [0.9,1] (95% CI) just by using a statistical rule of three.\nInstead, UPPAAL uses Clopper-Pearson exact method for binomial distribution which samples from {0,1} and provides more precise bounds with fewer runs, especially when the probability is close to 0 or 1.\nIf the number of runs is not specified in the query, then the probability estimation uses Clopper-Pearson algorithm sequentially to determine when to stop generating the simulation runs thus allowing earlier termination. Therefore the number of runs is sensitive to α, ε and also the estimated probability itself. The α and ε parameters are controlled in the statistical parameters of engine options.\nThe following plots show the number of samples (runs) required to estimate the confidence interval using the exact method sequentially for a given α, ε and the true probability (estimating P\u0026gt;0.5 is symmetric to estimating 1-P): For example, for the default parameter values ε=0.05 and α=0.05 the sequential algorithm requires 411 — the highest number of samples (runs) — when the probability is close to 0.5, where the uncertainty is the highest. Whereas the algorithm cannot distinguish the true probabilities ≤ ε (0.05) and thus could terminate much earlier: after 72 runs. Note that the uncertainty of the required runs is the largest when the true probability is close to either 0 or 1.\nThe following plot shows the number of samples (runs) required when the width of the interval is halved to ε=0.025: The following plot shows the number of samples (runs) required when the width of the interval is even more narrow ε=0.01: The following series of plots demonstrates how the estimated confidence interval converges to the true probability P value as more samples are produced:\nNote that occasionally the confidence intervals may overstep and thus exclude the true probability value, which should not happen more often than the specified level of significance α.\nThe following sequence of plots show how the width of the confidence intervals converges as more samples are produced:\nNote that in case of extreme probability value (close to 0 or 1, e.g. P=0.01), repeated observations are more likely and thus they may create false confidence that the probability is extreme (i.e. 0 or 1), but then a single differing observation may disturb the interval size greately and therefore more samples are required than just single sided interval.\nSeveral sequential CI estimation algorithms for binomial proportion are described in the literature below.\nFixed-Width Sequential Confidence Intervals for a Proportion, Jesse Frey.

Such a model consists of one or more concurrent processes, local and global variables, and channels.\nGlobal variables, channels and functions can be defined in the system definition using the grammar for declarations. Such declarations have a global scope. However, they are not directly accessible by any template, as they are declared after the templates. They are most useful when giving actual arguments to the formal parameters of templates. The declarations in the system definition and in the top-level declarations section are part of the system model.\nThe processes of the system model are defined in the form of a system declaration line, using the grammar for System given below. The system line contains a list of templates to be instantiated into processes. Processes can be prioritised as described in the section on priorities.\nSystem ::= \u0026#39;system\u0026#39; ID ((\u0026#39;,\u0026#39; | \u0026#39;\u0026lt;\u0026#39;) ID)* \u0026#39;;\u0026#39; Templates without parameters are instantiated into exactly one process with the same name as the template. Parameterised templates give rise to one process per combination of arguments, i.e., UPPAAL automatically binds any free template parameters. Any such parameter must be either a call-by-value bounded integer and or a call-by-value scalar. Individual processes can be referenced in expressions using the grammar for Process given below. Notice that this is already covered by the grammar for expressions.\nProcess ::= ID \u0026#39;(\u0026#39; [Arguments] \u0026#39;)\u0026#39; It is often desirable to manually bind some or all formal parameters of a template to actual arguments. This can be done by partial instantiation of templates.\nAny progress measures for the model or Gantt chart are defined after the system line.\nExample In this example we use the textual syntax for template declaration as used in the XTA format. In the GUI, these templates would be defined graphically.\nprocess P() { state s...; ... } process Q(int[0,3] a) { state t...; ... } system P, Q; This defines a system consisting of five processes named P, Q(0), Q(1), Q(2) and Q(3). Automatic binding of template parameters is very useful in models in which a large number of almost identical processes must be defined, e.g., the nodes of a network in a model of a communication protocol. In order to express that, e.g., all Q processes must be in location s, an expression like forall (i : int[0,3]) Q(i).s suffices.\n"},{"uri":"/gui-reference/menu-bar/tools/","title":"Tools Menu","tags":[],"description":"","content":"The tools menu contains a set of tools useful in the system edtior.

The tool helps to see at which time a transition can be fired.\nThe concrete simulator consists of the following panels:\nSimulation Control Variables Panel Process Panel Message Sequence Chart Gantt Chart Panel "},{"uri":"/toolsandapi/file-formats/","title":"File Formats","tags":[],"description":"","content":"UPPAAL supports three file formats for models: XML, XTA and TA. XML and XTA files can be loaded and stored via the Open Project, Open System, Save System, and Save System As menus. When saving a file, the file type is determined by the file name extension used. Each format is explained in more details below.\nNotice that the above mentioned file formats are mostly independent from the type of changes made to the syntax between UPPAAL 3.4 and UPPAAL 4.0.\nIn additon to the file formats for models, UPPAAL uses clear text query files for storing queries and the XTR file format for storing traces.\nXML The newest format is XML based and files in this format have the ending .xml. This format supports all features of UPPAAL. Elements like templates, locations, edges and labels are described using tags. This format was introduced in the GUI in version 3.2. As of version 3.4, the XML format is also supported by the verification engine. The GUI uses this format as its native file format. The addition of colors and notes on labels and edges, and the select expresssion on edges in UPPAAL 4.0 has resulted in the addition of a color attribute and two new label types. If these features are not used, the XML files generated by UPPAAL 4.0 are readable by UPPAAL 3.4.\nThe level of abstraction in the format is chosen so that the format is independent of the actual syntax of declarations, invariants, guards, etc. Thus all labels are simply treated as strings without structure. In a GUI, this is very important, since the user might enter arbitrary text into the label fields and the file format must be able to cope with this situation. Before the introduction of the XML format, the XTA format was used. With this format it was not possible to save syntactically incorrect systems, i.e., if the user made a mistake in the syntax of a label it was not possible to save this systems.\nXTA The XTA format was introduced in version 3.0. This format can only reliably store syntactically correct systems. Anonymous locations are not supported by this format (UPPAAL automatically assigns a unique name to anonymous locations when saved to an XTA file). Graphical information (coordinates) about the objects are stored in a separate UGI file, although this is transparent to the user. XTA files use the ending .xta and UGI files the ending .ugi.\nIn UPPAAL 4.0, the XTA format was extended with support for the select expression on edges. The UGI format was extended with support for the color attributes. If these features are not used, the XTA files generated by UPPAAL 4.0 are readable by UPPAAL 3.4.\nTA The TA format is a subset of the XTA format and does not support the template concept nor does it contain any graphical information about the system. UPPAAL can no longer save files in this format, although TA files can still be read.\nQuery files Query files use a clear-text format listing all queries inleaved with comments. The format dates back to UPPAAL 2. Files in this format have the file ending .q.\nTrace files Symbolic simulation traces Symbolic simulation traces can be stored using the XTR format; files in this format have the extension .xtr. The format was introduced in UPPAAL 3.0.\nXTR files are intimately linked to the model from which they were generated. Any change (other than layout and white space changes) in the model may render the trace file unreadable. Even reordering some variable declarations will break the link.\nOur parser library, libutap, contains a small utility called tracer, which can read XTR files and translate them to a human readable format. The library and the utility are released under the LGPL license and may thus be used as a starting point for writing custom trace analysis tools. More information about the library can be found on the UPPAAL web page.\nConcrete simulation traces Concrete simulation traces can be stored using the UCTR format; files in this format have the extension .uctr.\n.uctr files are written in a JSON-like syntax, such that external editors can parse them.\nA .uctr file contains all transitions made in the simulation along with their delay in the transitions array.\n"},{"uri":"/gui-reference/concrete-simulator/gantt-chart/","title":"Gantt Chart Panel","tags":[],"description":"","content":"The Gantt Chart panel is the middle rightmost panel of the simulator.

This is typically the most efficient option when the complete state space must be searched. When generating shortest or fastest traces, this is likely the best setting. Depth first Search the state space in depth first search order. If a counter example or witnessing trace is expected to exist, this setting is usually better than the breadth first setting. It is not recommended to use this search order when generating shortest or fastest traces. Random depth first Search the state space in randomised depth first search order. If a counter example or witnessing trace is expected to exist, this is usually the best setting. Due to the randomisation, traces may vary from run to run. It is not recommended to use this search order when generating shortest or fastest traces. State Space Reduction When searching the state space, UPPAAL does not necessarily have to store all states in memory in order to guarantee termination. This option influences how aggressively UPPAAL tries to avoid storing states. There is normally a tradeoff between space and speed.\nNone Store all states. Conservative Avoid storing committed states. Aggressive Avoid storing more than one state per cycle. State Space Representation This option determines how the state space should be represented in the model checker.\nSome representations are approximative in the sence that either a larger or smaller state space than the real one is generated. When an approximative representation is used, UPPAAL may conclude that a query is maybe satisfied, i.e., UPPAAL cannot make a decisive conclusions given the representation selected.\nDifference Bound Matrices (DBM) DBMs are often fast, but for models with many clocks they require a lot of memory. Compact Data Structure A more compact, but slower representation than DBMs. In particular for models with many clocks, this setting will often significantly reduce memory consumption. Even for models with no or few clocks, this option enables other memory saving techniques at the expense of speed. Under Approximation Uses bit-state hashing to represent the state space. This results in an under approximation, however the degree of approximation can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the hash table: Large hash tables result in a larger part of the state space being searched. The hash table size can be selected with the hash table size option. Over Approximation Uses convex-hull approximation of zones. This results in an over approximation of the state space. For models without clocks, this setting has no effect. Note that if a model contains stopwatches (invariant expressions like x'==0 where x is a clock), then the resulting analysis is overapproximate even if DBM or Compact Data Structure options are selected (DBM cannot represent additional constraints required by stopwatches). In such case, UPPAAL may also report that a reachability propery is maybe satisfied, meaning that the found counter-example trace may be spurious (i.e. not realizable).\nDiagnostic Trace This option controls if a counter-example or witnessing trace (if there is one) should be generated during verification. The trace is loaded into the simulator after verification. Enabling trace generation has two side effects:\nOnly one property at a time can be verified. Symmetry reduction is disabled. The possible settings for trace generation are:\nNone Do not generated any diagnostic trace. Some Generate a diagnostic trace. Shortest Generate a shortest trace, i.e. a trace with the smallest number of transitions. Fastest Generate a fastest trace, i.e. a trace with the shortest accumulated time delay. Extrapolation The range of clocks is unbounded, i.e., clocks can obtain arbitrarily large real values. To guarantee termination, UPPAAL uses an abstraction techniques called extrapolation. The extrapolated state space is finite. UPPAAL implements a number of extrapolation techniques that differ in the size of the extrapolated state space. Not all extrapolation techniques preserve all properties for all kinds of models. UPPAAL automatically selects the coarsets extrapolation, which still preserves the property being analysed.\nSometimes it may be of benefit to use a coarser (and faster) extrapolation that the one selected by UPPAAL. By doing so, the analysis will use an over-approximation of the state space. Listed from finest to coarsets, the choices are: None, Difference, Local, and Lower/Upper.\nAutomatic Selects the coarsest extrapolation preserving the property being analysed. If in doubt, use this setting. None Do not use extrapolation. Termination is no longer guaranteed. Since performing the extrapolation is relatively expensive, this may be of use if you know that the symbolic state space is finite. Difference Used whenever the model or the query contain difference constraints over clocks, e.g., x - y \u0026lt; 3. Local Used whenever the query contains either the deadlock keyword or involves a liveness property (except if the model or the query contain difference constraints). Lower/Upper Used whenever a reachability analysis is performed, except when the deadlock keyword is used or when the model or the query contain difference constraints. Hash table size Adjusts the amount of memory used to represent the state space when using bit-state hashing. This option has no effect unless under approximation is selected.\nReuse When selected, instructs the verifier to (whenever possible) reuse the generated portion of the state space when several properties of the same system are checked.\nStatistical Parameters Lower probabilistic deviation (-δ) Used in hypothesis testing (qualitative model-checking) to specify the lower bound of indifference region from the specified probability. Upper probabilistic deviation (+δ) Used in hypothesis testing (qualitative model-checking) to specify the upper bound of indifference region from the specified probability. Probability of false positives (α) Used in hypothesis testing (qualitative model-checking queries like Pr[...](...) \u0026lt;= 0.5) and probability estimation (quantitative model-checking queries like Pr[...](...)) to specify the level of significance (probability of Type I error). Probability of false negatives (β) Used in hypothesis testing (qualitative model-checking queries like Pr[...](...) \u0026lt;= 0.5) to specify the level of significance (probability of Type II error). Probability uncertainty (ε) Used in probability estimation (qualitative model-checking) to constrain the size of the confidence interval in a form of p ± ε (1-α CI). Ratio lower bound (u0) Used in comparison of two probabilities. Ratio upper bound (u1) Used in comparison of two probabilities. Histogram bucket width Specifies the width of each column in the histogram. By default it is set to zero meaning that the width is determined by ratio of entire histogram width divided by a bucket count. Histogram bucket count Specifies the number of columns in the histogram. By default it is set to zero meaning that the count is determined by taking a square root of a total number of samples and dividing by four.

The semantics defines a timed transition system (S, s0, →) describing the behaviour of a network of extended timed automata. The set of states S is defined as {(L, v) | v ⊨ Inv(L)}, where L is a location vector, v is a function (called a valuation) mapping integer variables and clocks to their values, and Inv is a function mapping locations and location vectors to invariants. The initial state s0 is the state where all processes are in the initial location, all variables have their initial value, and all clocks are zero. The transition relation, →, contains two kinds of transitions: delay transitions and action transitions. We will describe each type below.\nGiven a valuation v and an expression e, we say that v satisfies e if e evaluates to non-zero for the given valuation v.\nInvalid Evaluations If during a successor computation any expression evaluation is invalid (consult the section on expressions for further details about invalid evaluations), the verification is aborted.\nDelay Transitions Delay transitions model the passing of time without changing the current location. We have a delay transition (L, v) −d→ (L, v\u0026rsquo;), where d is a non-negative real, if and only if:\nv\u0026rsquo; = v+d, where v+d is obtained by incrementing all clocks with d. for all 0 ≤ d\u0026rsquo; ≤ d: v+d\u0026rsquo; ⊨ Inv(L) L contains neither committed nor urgent locations for all locations ℓ in L and for all locations ℓ\u0026rsquo; (not necessarily in L), if there is an edge from ℓ to ℓ\u0026rsquo; then either: this edge does not synchronise over an urgent channel, or this edge does synchronise over an urgent channel, but for all 0 ≤ d\u0026rsquo; ≤ d we have that v+d\u0026rsquo; does not satisfy the guard of the edge. Action Transitions For action transtions, the synchronisation label of edges is important. Since UPPAAL supports arrays of channels, we have that the label contains an expression evaluating to a channel. The concrete channel depends on the current valuation. To avoid cluttering the semantics we make the simplifying assumption that each synchronisation label refers to a channel directly.\nPriorities increase the determinism of a system by letting a high priority action transition block a lower priority action transition. Note that delay transitions can never be blocked, and no action transition can be blocked by a delay transition.\nFor action transitions, there are three cases: Internal transitions, binary synchronisations and broadcast synchronisations. Each will be described in the following.\nInternal Transitions We have a transition (L, v) −*→ (L\u0026rsquo;, v\u0026rsquo;) if there is an edge e=(ℓ,ℓ\u0026rsquo;) such that:\nthere is no synchronisation label on e v satisfies the guard of e L\u0026rsquo; = L[ℓ\u0026rsquo;/ℓ] v\u0026rsquo; is obtained from v by executing the update label given on e v\u0026rsquo; satisfies Inv(L\u0026rsquo;) Either ℓ is committed or no other location in L is committed. There is no action transition from (L, v) with a strictly higher priority. Binary Synchronisations We have a transition (L, v) −*→ (L\u0026rsquo;, v\u0026rsquo;) if there are two edges e1=(ℓ1,ℓ1\u0026rsquo;) and e2=(ℓ2,ℓ2\u0026rsquo;) in two different processes such that:\ne1 has a synchronisation label c! and e2 has a synchronisation label c?, where c is a binary channel. v satisfies the guards of e1 and e2. L\u0026rsquo; = L[ℓ1\u0026rsquo;/ℓ1, ℓ2\u0026rsquo;/ℓ2] v\u0026rsquo; is obtained from v by first executing the update label given on e1 and then the update label given on e2. v\u0026rsquo; satisfies Inv(L\u0026rsquo;) Either ℓ1 or ℓ2 or both locations are committed, or no other location in L is committed. There is no action transition from (L, v) with a strictly higher priority. Broadcast Synchronisations Assume an order p1, p2, … pn of processes given by the order of the processes in the system declaration statement. We have a transition (L, v) −*→ (L\u0026rsquo;, v\u0026rsquo;) if there is an edge e=(ℓ,ℓ\u0026rsquo;) and m edges ei=(ℓi,ℓi\u0026rsquo;) for 1≤i≤m such that:\nEdges e, e1, e2, …, em are in different processes. e1, e2, …, em are ordered according to the process ordering p1, p2,… pn. e has a synchronisation label c! and e1, e2, …, em have synchronisation labels c?, where c is a broadcast channel. v satisfies the guards of e, e1, e2, … em. For all locations ℓ in L not a source of one of the edges e, e1, e2, … em, all edges from ℓ either do not have a synchronisation label c? or v does not satisfy the guard on the edge. L\u0026rsquo; = L[ℓ\u0026rsquo;/ℓ, ℓ1\u0026rsquo;/ℓ1, ℓ2\u0026rsquo;/ℓ2, … ℓm\u0026rsquo;/ℓm] v\u0026rsquo; is obtained from v by first executing the update label given on e and then the update labels given on ei for increasing order of i. v\u0026rsquo; satisfies Inv(L\u0026rsquo;) Either one or more of the locations ℓ, ℓ1, ℓ2, … ℓm are committed, or no other location in L is committed. There is no action transition from (L, v) with a strictly higher priority. Probabilistic Transitions In statistical model checking the concrete delay and transition are determined as follows:\nEach process chooses a delay based on its current location: If the current location invariant has a time bound, then the concrete delay is taken according uniform distribution up to that bound. Otherwise (the time invariant is absent) the delay is chosen by exponential distribution using the rate λ specified on the current location. The probability density function of delay d∈[0;∞) is F(d)=λe−λd, where e=2.718281828… and the concrete delay is generated by −ln(u)/λ where u is a uniform random number from (0;1] interval. The process with the shortest delay is chosen. If there are several such processes then a random one of these is chosen (according to uniform distribution). The shortest delay is executed and continuous variables are updated. The chosen process attempts to take a transition: Compute all enabled internal and sending edge-transitions. Pick the concrete edge according to uniform distribution. If the edge has probabilistic branches, then the probability of taking a branch i is determined by the ratio wi/W, where wi is the weight of the branch i and W is the sum of all branch weights: W=Σjwj. Statistical model checking has the following assumptions about the model:\nInput enableness (non-blocking inputs): Sending cannot be blocked, i.e. the channel is either broadcast or there is always one process with an enabled receiving edge-transition. Input determinism: There is exactly one enabled receiving edge-transition at a time. For binary synchronizations there is at most one receiving process at a time.

The simulator cannot visualize all these concrete traces. Instead it shows an infinite set of traces - a so called symbolic trace. Each symbolic state of a symbolic trace is a set of states and their delay successors described by a number of constraints on the clocks. In a given symbolic state, the active locations and the values of discrete variables are the same for all states.\nSymbolic traces shown in the simulator are backward stable, but not forward stable:\n**Forward stable** Given two symbolic states A and B on a symbolic trace such that A is before B, every state in A can reach a state in B. **Backward stable** Given two symbolic states A and B on a symbolic trace such that A is before B, every state in B can be reached by a state in A. In particular, care must be taken when interpreting a counter example produced by the model checker: Not every state in the symbolic states along a symbolic trace will necessarily lead to an error state, although all states in the last symbolic state are indeed reachable from the initial state.\nNote: verifyta can be used to produce forward stable traces.\n"},{"uri":"/gui-reference/verifier/","title":"Verifier","tags":[],"description":"","content":"The verifier is to check safety and liveness properties by on-the-fly exploration of the state-space of a system in terms of symbolic states represented by constraints.

It generates traces from the model, and translates them into test cases based on test code entered into the model on edges and locations next to comments.\nThe main features of the Test Cases generator are:\nThe generated test code is backend agnostic, meaning that it is user-defined and independent of specific test execution engines. Three modes for test case generation: Test purpose mode: Generates a test case specified by a reachability query An auto-depth mode: Generates tests automatically aiming at achieving edge/location coverage Single-step mode: Generates an individual test case per uncoverd edge. Visualization of coverage Determinism Test generator expects a deadlock free and mostly deterministic model.\nDeadlocks can be checked against in the Verifier tab using A[] not deadlock query.\nThere are no checks or reinforcements made for determinism. Non-deterministic implementation requirements (behavior not controlled by a test execution harness) may yield test-cases which cannot be executed in a controlled manner. For example, test execution harness might not be able to force the implementation under test to respond in a specific way assumed by a test case if the implementation is allowed to respond in multiple ways non-deterministically. The environment assumption model (edges controlled by the test execution harness) is encouraged to be non-deterministic to facilitate a more focused and flexible control when selecting test cases.\nBasic operation The buttons Add will generate traces based on the verification options selected in the Options menu where the search order and diagnostic trace options are overridden by the corresponding drop-down list selection. Unless intimately familiar with the search algorithms of Uppaal, leave the options at their default settings.\nThe traces are added and shown in the Traces list below on the left. Selecting a trace will show the statistics for this trace in the Trace statistics on the right. The Total Coverage button will show the combined statistics of all the traces added so far. Double clicking a trace loads the trace in the Simulator tab, where the execution scenario can be examined in detail. Simulator colors the covered locations and edges in blue when Mark Visited option is selected under the View menu.\nTest cases are exported to a specified directory specified by clicking Save Test Cases button at the bottom. Previously stored test cases are overwritten by new test ones.\nNote: the traces and statistics are lost when the model is reloaded. Traces and statistics are not saved with the model. Only the test cases can be saved.\nSuggested methodology: Test Cases can be generated in several ways, depending on the actual project, but it is designed to support the method outlined below:\nTest purposes very often represent mandatory critical observations that must be observed on the system under test. First, Add the test cases representing the test purposes. These test are mandated anyway, and will cover some parts of the model, but this coverage is typically insufficient. Generate tests that improves the (edge/location) coverage of the model (but does not guarantee so). Second, Add the test cases using the auto-depth mode to improve the coverage. The coverage achieved by the second step can be completed by adding an individual test-case for each of these uncovered edges or locations. Hence, third, Add the test cases using the single-step mode.

Typical application areas include real-time controllers, communication protocols, and other systems in which timing aspects are critical.\nThe UPPAAL tool consists of three main parts:\na graphical user interface (GUI), a verification server, and a command line tool. The GUI is used for modelling, symbolic simulation, concrete simulation, and verification. For both simulation and verification, the GUI uses the verification server. In simulation, the server is used to compute successor states. See also the section on setting up a remote server.

On one hand this means that it contains all the new and exciting features of the next version of UPPAAL, but on the other it also means that it contains many new and untried features, that might change before the final release of UPPAAL. This page describes the new language features compared to the UPPAAL 4.0 series.\nCost Annotation In LPTA, an implicit continuous monotonic variable called cost is defined. The rate at which this variable grows can be specified in the location invariant as:\ncost\u0026rsquo; == INTEXPR\nwhere INTEXPR is an integer expression. If specified in multible locations, the actual cost rate is the sum of the cost rate specified in the current location of each process. The cost can be incremented on edges using the increment operator +=.\nHere is an example of the aircraft landing problem: xta, q.\nRemaining Cost Estimation The performance of UPPAAL CORA can be improved dramatically by annotating the model with an admissible estimate of the remaining cost to reach the goal condition. Admissible means that the estimate is not bigger than the actual cost of reaching the goal, i.e., the estimate provides a lower bound on the remaining cost. The estimate is specified by declaring a meta integer variable named remaining. Specifying a good value for remaining is crucial for good performance.\nIn previous versions of UPPAAL, remaining had to be a lower bound on the remaining cost from the state and all its delay successors, but this is no longer required. Now remaining must simply be a lower bound on the remaining cost. When computing a successor, UPPAAL automatically adjusts the value of remaining. Thus even when you do not recompute remaining, it will still be a lower bound of the remaining cost. You will probably be able to come up with a better lower bound on the remaining cost, so you should try compute a remaining cost yourself on each edge transition.\nCommand Line Options Below we describe the new options supported by the command line interface of UPPAAL (verifyta). Most of these options are also available from the options menu in the graphical frontend.\nGuiding A number of different search orders are supported. These can be selected with the -o option:\n-o0 Breadth first. -o1 Depth first. -o2 Random depth first. -o3 Smallest heur first. -o4 Best first. -o5 Best depth first. The first two are well known from previous releases of UPPAAL. Random depth first search is similar to depth first search, but it randomises the order in which the successors of a state are searched. Smallest heur first requires the presence of an integer variable named heur in the model. The state with the smallest value of this variable is always explored next. In most cases, this variable should be a meta variable. Best first and best depth first are used for optimal reachability, see the next topic.\nOptimal Reachability UPPAAL CORA has support for finding optimal schedules. Optimality is defined in terms of a cost variable, see the Language Guide for details. The optimal trace can be found by using the -t3 option. With this option, UPPAAL CORA keeps searching until a trace to a goal state with the smallest value for the cost variable has been found. Alternatively you can use the -E option to find the optimal cost without generating the trace.\nUPPAAL CORA automatically enables the -o4 option (best first) when using the -t3 option. This can be changed by manually using a different -o option after the -t3 option. In the best first search order, the state with the smallest value of the cost variable is searched next. An alternative is to use best depth first. This search order performs a depth first search, but always searches the state with the lowest cost first. If a remaining cost estimate annotation is provided, the interpretation of the best first and best depth first is changed to search the state with the smallest sum of the cost variable and the remaining variable next.\nExamples The jugs example has been updated to the new syntax. You can download it here: jugs2.ta, jugs2.q. You can find the optimal solution like this:\nverifyta -E jugs2.ta jugs2.q\nLimitations UPPAAL CORA has a number of limitations. These limitations are not fundamental, but are a result of using new internal data structures with a currently limited feature set. Over time, these limitations will be resolved.\nNo extrapolation, hence termination is not guaranteed unless you guarantee that either: The system is acyclic. All clocks are bound by invariants. Simple reachability only: No liveness check No deadlock check Limited use of guiding: Support for (cost + remaining) sorting is implemented (best first search) Support for heuristic variable is implemented, but the expression cannot refer to the cost variable.

In the case of parallel composition of several components, a given output must be exclusive to one component. For implementations, outputs must be urgent.

The graphical simulator determinizes the strategy and limits the game even though the underlying strategy is more permissive. When a sub-formula is inconsistent there is no strategy. If you want a strategy you need to ask for a consistency check on that sub-formula. If you use the quotient, you must add two locations to the processes, one Universal and one Inconsistent. The universal one must accept all inputs of that process and generate all outputs. This must match the signature of the component. The inconsistent location must be urgent without any transition at all. It is not possible to simulate the quotient in the simulator. This is a limitation inherent to the problem because this operator generates new states and transitions that do not have references in the original model, thus the graphical simulator will be lost. We suspect that it is possible to write models that may fool ECDAR by giving wrong answers. This may happen due to some issues with extrapolation.

Defining them is enough to activate the feature in question. Here is a more detailed description of testing specific options:\n-I filename specifies the adapter to connect to IUT. It is either the name of a built-in adapter (such as TraceAdapter and SocketAdapter) or the filename of dynamically loaded C-library. See Building Test Adapter on how to make one.\n-D filename specifies where the output of the Driver (component that time-stamps input and output events) should be redirected to. The EBNF of the output is the following:\nDriverLog ::= ( line **EOL** )* line ::= timestamp | event timestamp ::= **\"delay\"** integer event ::= channelname **\"(\"** paramlist **\")\"** paramlist ::= | integer ( **\",\"** integer )* The timestamp line means that the system has delayed until the specified absolute time moment in microseconds counting from the beginning of testing. The event line means an input or an output event observation at the last delay timestamp in the driver. The specific input or output nature is specified by channel name and the bounded variable integer values.\n-S filename specifies where the verdict information should be saved (usually used for gathering Statistics of many TRON runs). If specified, each line of the file will consist of five elements: 1) integer for random seed used (see -X) 2) verdict 3) number of inputs 4) number of outputs 5) time used in model time units.\n-v \u0026lt;0+1+2+4+8+16\u0026gt; specifies what testing information should be visible on the output by bit-flags:\n1 progress indicator, useful in interactive command-line when no other testing information is specified; 2 events applied in Uppaal engine (mainly for debugging); 4 choices considered when emulating the environment; 8 makes a copy of the current state set before applying delay and output events, this enables some diagnostic information when test verdict is failed or inconclusive but also costs a bit of additional memory; 16 shows the current reachable state set before each update.The numbers above should be added and final integer result used in -v option. For example, for progress indicator (1) and diagnostic information (8) one should use -v 9 as 1+8=9. -o filename redirects the testing information (specified by -v) to the file rather than standard output stream.\n-H n specifies the size of hash table in Uppaal engine for detecting loops in passed list states (as in verifyta), the size in testing can be much smaller as the TRON considers only the current reachable state set which is much smaller than the whole state space of the system (as in verification process);\n-F future specifies the future input event horizon for environment emulation in model time units, the further horizon the more TRON should pre-compute into the future when choosing input event; the value should be as large as possible for richer input choices but small enough for TRON to be able to compute respond within 1 model time unit; the default is 1 model time unit (disabling it with 0 is not recommended);\n-P delay constrains the choice of delay by the following heuristics:\nrandom the choice is based on available delays in the model and concrete delay is chosen by pseudo-random number generator; if delays are not bounded by invariant TRON may choose very large delays and hence appear idle for very long time; lazy the choice is based on available delays in the model and concrete delay is taken by choosing the longest possible; TRON may delay for very long if constraints (invariants) allow it; eager the choice is based on available delays in the model and concrete delay is taken by choosing the shortest delay possible; short,long are integers and specify the longest delay choice for short and long delay. The concrete delay is then chosen randomly based on the model and longest possible delay. The choice of a short or a long delay is random; -w integer prolongs the model delay by specified number of model time units possibly breaking the invariants in the model; it was created as a workaround for proper IUT and environment invariant separation to be able to test the IUT invariants under assumption that the environment model did not contain any invariants; today correct partitioning (see Test Interface Specification) of the system model is recommended instead of this option;\n-u inpDelay,inpRes,outDelay,outRes see Observation Uncertainties for explanation.\n-Q log specifies that virtual time framework should be used rather than host machine\u0026rsquo;s clock, string log can also be replaced by an integer meaning the port number for external virtual clock users, see Virtual Time for more details;\n-X integer specifies the value of random seed for the random number generator which drives the environment emulation choices; it could be useful to attempt to replicate an identical test run although it is very hard to ensure the same flow of time and event interleaving;\n-i \u0026lt;dot|gui\u0026gt; generates the signal flow of the system model in graphviz format; when specified, TRON expects the input/output interface to be fed into standard input stream in the following EBNF format:\nTIS ::= inputs outputs precision timeout inputs ::= **\"input\"** channels **\";\"** outputs ::= **\"output\"** channels **\";\"** precision ::= **\"precision\"** integer **\";\"** timeout ::= **\"timeout\"** integer **\";\"** channels ::= | channel ( **\",\"** channel )* **\";\"** channel ::= channelname **\"(\"** variables **\")\"** variables ::= | variablename ( **\",\"** variablename)* See also Test Interface Specification. When -i is specified, -v option has a different special meaning:\n-v \u0026lt;0|1|2|3\u0026gt; specifies what information is produced in partitioning (-i) mode: 0 \u0026ndash; silent, no errors are shown, 1 - only errors are shown, 2 - warnings are shown, 3 - errors, warnings and rules being applied are shown.

Inputs: grasp(), release() 19. Outputs: level(adapLevel) Lines 1-2 specify the version and the build environment of TRON binary, might be important when building the C-library adapter. Lines 3-4 contain copyright information. Lines 5-11 show the state of Uppaal engine and TRON options. Line 12 says that TRON is using non-real-time process scheduler which is used for all virtual time runs. In real time mode TRON will attempt to gain high priority and select real-time round-robin scheduler if possible (available and enough permissions given), which would minimize the scheduling disturbances from other processes. Lines 13-14 show that TRON attempted socket connection (to IUT) but failed and it will retry doing so for 9 times with 2 second intervals. Lines 15-19 show the model partitioning and testing interface information: environment consists of just user process (user invariants will be considered when offering input), model time unit is interpreted as 10000 microseconds, and 1000000 model time units are allocated for testing.\nThe messages are typical from TRON standard output stream when bit-flag 2 is selected in -v option:\n1. TEST: delay to [245.. on 1 2. TEST: grasp()@1225896-1225940 at [245..246) on 1 3. TEST: level(0)@1771740 at [353..356) on 5 4. TEST: level(1)@2752912 at [549..552) on 3 5.

TEST: delay to [1175.. on 13 Lines 20, 26-27, 29-30 mean that TRON has chosen a delay and nothing happened until it has expired, for example line 20 says that TRON is applying a delay on a current state set to the moment of 245 model time units on a single (1) state in a set, the upper bound of a delay is open and bounded only by future horizon (see -F). Line 21 says that TRON is applying the input event on channel grasp it has just executed at time interval 1225896-1225940 microseconds which is mapped to model time interval [245..246) in Uppaal constraint encoding. The encoding [245..246) means a model time interval (122,123) as 245/2=122.5 (remainder shows that the constraint is strict, i.e. \u0026gt;122, and the point 122mtu is not included) and 246/2=123 which is strict as \u0026ldquo;)\u0026rdquo; in the log. The same mapping and encoding procedure applies to outputs on lines 22-25 which show that output events on channel level have variable values attached (0, 1, 2 and 3). The output is time-stamped right after it is registered in the driver. The inputs are time-stamped with two time-stamps: just before offering an input and right after the input is offered, to reflect an over-approximation and uncertainty on when exactly it was actually delivered at (remote) IUT.\nVerdict Assignment and Diagnostics At the end of testing TRON will issue a verdict, which is either PASSED, INCONCLUSIVE or FAILED. PASSED means that the timeout for testing has expired and no faulty behavior has been detected. Test may fail with verdict FAILED if IUT exposes the behavior which could not be mapped in the model of IUT, i.e. if IUT reported wrong output at wrong time (too early or too late) or IUT did not respond at all when it was required to respond with some output. In case of INCONCLUSIVE verdict, TRON is either 1) confused with the output observed from IUT, cannot map this output to the model of environment and hence does not know how to continue testing or 2) late for delivering an input in time as required by the model of environment. The second option can be very frequent on heavily loaded machines, broken schedulers (Windows tend to issue spurious timeouts even if timeout did not expire) while testing in real time using the host machine\u0026rsquo;s clock. Also it is still not clear how to handle situations when TRON and IUT rely on different clocks which drift away from each other, hence we rely on assumption that TRON is operating on a correct (reference) clock.\nTRON can also provide additional information on why the test ended up with verdict FAILED or INCONCLUSIVE if the bit-flag 8 is specified on -v option. The following is a typical output of such diagnostic information:\n1. Short post-mortem analysis based on last good stateSet(3): 2. 1) 3.

AdapterConnection died: socket closed upon read Line 31 says the following analysis is based only on the last good state (might be inaccurate if fault happened much earlier than observed) consisting of 3 symbolic states. Lines 32-43 enumerate the symbolic states (it can be very long, this is a shortened version of it), for example line 32 specifies the symbolic state number 1, line 33 says in which control locations the processes are, line 34 enumerates clock constraints and line 35 enumerates values of integer variables. Lines 44-47 reiterates what options TRON was facing just before test has terminated: line 44 says that there could be no inputs offered, line 45 says that according to model the output level is expected at model time interval (5937,5947) (as 11875/2=5937.5 and 11894/2=5947 in Uppaal encoding), line 46 enumerates internal transitions available in the model, line 47 specifies the longest possible delay until 6885mtu without observable input/output. Line 48 says that TRON was trying to compute the reachable symbolic state set for the interval (5993,5995), but according to line 49 it could not, as the resulting symbolic state set contained no states. Line 50 notes that there was level(7) output expected at (5937,5947) therefore the conclusion in line 51 is that IUT failed to produce output (in required time). Lines 52-53 show how long test was running and how much left to testing timeout in model time units and seconds. Line 54 shows the random seed used to start the pseudo-random number generator (see -X option). Line 55 contains spurious exception upon disposing SocketAdapter which can be safely ignored.\nAs of version 1.4 be aware of bug 369 in diagnosis.\nAdaptation In this section we are going to show the adaptation process for TRON framework. We are going to use the smart lamp light controller example to highlight the supported features and to show how to use them.\nModel Specification TRON supports abstract requirement models in a sense that implementation under test (IUT) does not necessarily have to follow the structure of the model. User should use Uppaal to specify requirements by creating a timed automata model of the whole (closed) system, i.e. the model should contain requirements for the IUT and also the assumptions about its environment (user). The processes in Uppaal timed automata network communicate via channels. Every channel synchronization is an instantaneous event in the system, taking zero time as any other transition. So the simplest closed system suitable for testing using TRON consists of at least two communicating processes: IUT process and environment process. In this simple system the input event is fired whenever environment process shouts at some channel and IUT receives the channel synchronization, the output happens in the same manner but opposite direction.\nThe model of environment can be as simple as one process containing one location with a synchronized transition loop for each input/output channel synchronization. Such environment would test the most of IUT features/requirements as it is fully permissive, however this might be too expensive and unrealistic, especially if environment assumptions can be stated more precisely, e.g. modeling some case of system usage. It is important that environment is input enabled, i.e. it is able to consume any possible output produced by IUT, otherwise TRON will issue verdict \u0026ldquo;inconclusive\u0026rdquo; in case the received output event cannot be applied to environment.\nIn a more complex system the IUT (and environment) requirements may be modelled by many processes. In this case the system is partitioned into two sets of processes: the processes modelling the requirements for IUT (model of IUT) typically mimicking what the IUT should do and the processes for the environment assumptions (model of environment) mimicking what the tester should do. The IUT (environment) processes may communicate among themselves by channel synchronizations too, but such communication is treated as internal and not observable. The channel synchronization is treated as observable input/output event if and only if it is between the environment and IUT processes.\nAs noted before, the channel synchronization is an instantaneous event in timed automata network, hence the communication between the environment and the IUT is also treated as instantaneous. However real-time black-box testing is also a kind of remote testing, where the inputs/outputs are fed at one time instance and received slightly later as there is at least small communication delay. Even the slightest delay of electronic signal running short distance at a speed of light is significant as it might imply a different input and output event interleaving and hence a different outcome. The communication delay is especially significant on soft-real-time operating systems (such as Windows and Linux) where the process scheduling is a major contributor but is hardly predictable (Linux scheduler tries hard to be at most 10ms late and 2.6 branch usually fits into 1ms delay under low load conditions, see Latency Experiments). Currently TRON time-stamps the input and output events when they arrive/leave TRON process, hence the model of IUT should also include the processes of adapter proxying and slightly delaying the actual input and output to reflect such communication reality. The model of adapter also helps to make sure that the model of IUT is input enabled, i.e. IUT cannot refuse to accept the offered input, which might be important in testing features that are triggered only by that particular input (and time). TRON will not try to offer an input if the model of IUT is not able to consume it.\nThe model of the system should be validated in the Uppaal symbolic simulator to make sure the model reflects an intended system behavior and the verifier should be used to check at least that model does not contain deadlocks (\u0026ldquo;A[] not deadlock\u0026rdquo; must be satisfied). In extreme cases where system state space is too large and cannot be verified (e.g. adapter processes involve queueing of input/output events and hence blowup the state space), a more abstract version of the model should be verified. TRON might issue verdict \u0026ldquo;inconclusive\u0026rdquo; or \u0026ldquo;failed\u0026rdquo; if it runs into deadlock situation and/or give unreliable \u0026ldquo;last good state set\u0026rdquo; diagnostic information if deadlock is present but was avoided by taking other transitions.\nExample. Consider the smart lamp demo with the following model of the system: LightContr.xml (you are encouraged to load it into Uppaal). I will use the signal flow diagram LightContr.png to demonstrate how processes in this system communicate (see Test Interface Specification to produce signal flows of your own). The legend of this signal flow diagram is as follows: ellipse means process, rectangle means integer variable, diamond means channel, arrows indicate the flow of signal, i.e. process transmit on given channel if arrow is from ellipse to diamond, process receives on given channel if arrow is from diamond to ellipse, variable is being written by process if arrow points from ellipse to rectangle and variable is being read if arrow is from rectangle to ellipse. The labels on arrows indicate the channel synchronization when variable is accessed, dash means silent (internal) access without channel synchronization. TRON uses the observable input/output channel (double diamonds) declaration (see Test Interface Specification) to partition the system into the model of environment (light green items) and the model of IUT (light blue items). In this example, environment consists of user process communicating through input channels grasp and release and output channel level. The requirements for IUT are modeled by interface, dimmer and switch processes. The communication delay is modeled by levelAdapter, releaseAdapter and graspAdapter processes.\nTest Interface Specification Test interface is a set of observable input and output channels possibly with integer variables values bound to channel. Observable input and output channels define how the system model is partitioned into the model of IUT and the model of environment. The correct system partitioning is important in order to ensure correct verdict computation by using relativized timed input/output conformance relation (which means identifying and special treatment of IUT invariants which might interact with environment model as invariants are global in Uppaal semantics). The idea of correct partitioning is a complete and consistent separation of environment model and IUT model by inspecting the following control rules:\nChannels, that are not declared as inputs/outputs, are non-observable called internal. Internal channel belongs to environment (IUT) if it is used by environment (IUT) process (respectively). Model is inconsistent and cannot be partitioned if the internal channel is used by both environment and IUT. Process belongs to environment (IUT) if it uses the internal environment (IUT) channel (respectively). Variable belongs to environment (IUT) if it is accessed by environment (IUT) process without observable input/output channel synchronization. Variable is not cathegorized (can be either) if accessed consistently only during observable input/output channel synchronization. Process belongs to environment (IUT) if accesses environment (IUT) variable (respectively) without observable channel synchronization. It might be tricky to get complete and consistent (all processes are assigned to either IUT or environment) partitioning. Currently the adapter API is the only way to specify the test interface. The easiest way to experiment with test interface and partitioning is by generating signal flow diagram of the system. The signal flow diagram in graphviz format can be obtained from TRON standard output with -i dot option on specific Uppaal model and entering the test interface information via standard input in the following tiny EBNF grammar (terminals are quoted in bold, this grammar is also used in TraceAdapter):\nTIS ::= inputs outputs precision timeout inputs ::= **\"input\"** channels **\";\"** outputs ::= **\"output\"** channels **\";\"** precision ::= **\"precision\"** integer **\";\"** timeout ::= **\"timeout\"** integer **\";\"** channels ::= | channel ( **\",\"** channel )* **\";\"** channel ::= channelname **\"(\"** variables **\")\"** variables ::= | variablename ( **\",\"** variablename )* Here, the precision specifies the duration of one model time unit (mtu) in microseconds and timeout specifies how many model time units is allocated for testing. Upon success TRON will terminate with verdict \u0026ldquo;passed\u0026rdquo; when precision × timeout microseconds elapse and no fault is found.\nExample. The following command lines produce signal flow in graphviz format which is further laid-out onto the PNG picture format by dot utility, the third line does it all in one:\ntron -i dot [LightContr.xml](LightContr.xml) \u003c [LightContr.trn](LightContr.trn) \u003e [LightContr.dot](LightContr.dot) dot -Tpng -o [LightContr.png](LightContr.png) [LightContr.dot](LightContr.dot) tron -i dot [LightContr.xml](LightContr.xml) \u003c [LightContr.trn](LightContr.trn) | dot -Tpng -o [LightContr.png](LightContr.png) Note that TRON also adds a few constraints for the graph layout in dot file, in particular it specifies landscape A4 paper, which is handy for -Teps option but might not be good for some larger models.\nIf partitioning is not complete (some process, variable or channel is assigned to neither IUT nor environment) or inconsistent (according to rules some item is assigned to both IUT and environment) then TRON will write complains and warnings to the standard error stream. The verbosity of partitioning messages is controlled by -v option: -v 0 \u0026ndash; none, -v 1 \u0026ndash; errors, -v 2 \u0026ndash; warnings, -v 3 \u0026ndash; diagnostics. The diagnostic messages will show how TRON is trying to partition the processes, variables and channels by iteratively applying the control rules. It is also recommended to check the separation in the output stream from TRON once the test interface is specified during testing.\nCurrently (as of version 1.4 Beta 2) the variable usage in C-code functions is not analyzed, hence partitioning might work incorrectly. Also observable broadcast channels should be used with caution (IUT/environment cannot send and receive at the same time on observable broadcast channel). The source code for signal flow static analysis and partitioning will probably be available in the next release of UTAP library.\nObservation Uncertainties TRON is applying observable input and output events by the following algorithm: 1) time-stamp the event with the host machine clock, 2) convert to a model time representation in floating point number form 3) find the closest integers to the given floating point number 4) apply input/output event to the model state space as if it happened between the closest integers time points. Observation uncertainty is a tweak for such time-stamping scheme, which expands and shifts the time-stamping interval: the output event is expanded to the direction of past (as if it happened earlier than observed), the input event is expanded to the direction of future (as if it will happen later than it is actually sent). The observation uncertainty was an early idea to reduce state space explosion due to adapter models and still be able to handle the communication and scheduling latency.\nThe observation time uncertainty can be specified by -u option, see the output of tron -h. The parameters inpDelay and outDelay control how many microseconds the event time window is shifted and parameters inpRes and outRes specify how many microseconds the window is be expanded, which potentially might touch or cover a next time unit(s). Current implementation (1.4 Beta 2) does not treat the time-stamp shifts correctly as it is required to create a hole in a state space between possible outputs in the past and possible inputs, hence requires a more complicated state exploration algorithm. Values other than 0 for inpDelay and outDelay are not recommended. The values for inpRes and outRes should reflect the scheduling and communication latency, e.g. allow about 3000-4000 microseconds on Linux-2.6 (may vary on different machines).\nObservation uncertainty is relevant only in testing in real world time and is irrelevant in virtual time.\nBuilding Test Adapter Normally, when TRON process is launched for testing the following happens:\nTRON parses and sets the command line options TRON looks for Uppaal timed automata model and loads it. TRON looks for adapter specified and attempts to create it via constructor call by passing a reporter object handle. Adapter constructor establishes connection to IUT (possibly launching another IUT process/thread, or simply connecting to remote IUT process). Adapter constructor configures the testing interface by declaring observable input/output channels, binding needed variables, sets the precision and the timeout for testing and returns the adapter handle to TRON. TRON statically analyzes the model and partitions the system into IUT and environment. TRON calls adapter.start() routine to indicate that no problems were found, adapter should finish any initializations and testing begins from the moment thread returns to TRON. Further input and output communication is asynchronous in a sense that IUT should use its own thread to report outputs to the reporter (which in turn will time-stamp and queue it) and TRON will call the method to register input (IUT is expected to add input to its input queue, notify its thread and return as soon as possible). Caution: adapter interface may deadlock if the same input-offering-thread (from TRON) is used by adapter to report the output from IUT. It is also important to release the lock on input queue (if any) in IUT adapter when reporting outputs to allow TRON to offer input while the output is being reported. After test is finished (via timeout or failure), TRON calls the adapter destructor to disconnect from IUT, cleanup and release all the resources. Currently there are a few different adapter examples available as reference implementations, depending on platform and adapter method the actual action names may differ:\nTextual communication via standard I/O adapter (virtual time recommended). See source code using TraceAdapter in tracer directory under GNU environment (requires bash, GNU make, use Cygwin if on Windows). TraceAdapter uses the ANTLR lexer and parser to read the standard input stream (see how \u0026ldquo;make testsuite\u0026rdquo; example works for example traces accepted by TraceAdapter, it\u0026rsquo;s even possible for human to interact with TRON). TCP/IP socket adapter for remote IUTs (both: virtual and real time). See Java source code of smart-lamp using SocketAdapter in java directory, java-doc. Remote adapter implementation in C/C++ can also be provided upon a request. Microsoft Visual C library adapter example (currently only real time). See source code of mouse button example in MSVC directory. GNU C library adapter example on Unix (both: virtual and real time). See source code of mouse button example in button directory. Virtual Time Much of real-time control software concerns mainly correct timing and functional behavior and time spent on computation is negligible or predictable. TRON\u0026rsquo;s virtual time framework offers a possibility to test a real-time application in laboratory conditions where time flow is controlled, i.e. time is allowed to flow when all processes are explicitly waiting and is stopped when at least process is busy computing. Virtual time framework has an advantage that otherwise inherent latencies (OS scheduling, communication) are removed.\nThe idea is based on a concept of monitor, where mutex locking and unlocking wrap a negligible amount of atomic computations and temporary mutex release by waiting on conditional variable reflects the process\u0026rsquo; intent to delay and wait for a specific condition.\nBy default TRON assumes host machine\u0026rsquo;s real time clock and virtual time clock can be turned on by option -Q log which also opens a server socket on port 6521 to serve any remote request for virtual clock. User can also change the port number to 1234 by using option -Q 1234 instead, just make sure that remote IUT will also use the same port number. Reference Java client implementation of remote virtual time clock can be found in java/tron/VirtualThread.java file.\nPOSIX C Example POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface for uniX) way of creating a monitors is by using pthread_mutex_lock, pthread_mutex_unlock, pthread_cond_wait and pthread_cond_timedwait functions (see their manual pages e.g. on your Linux distribution). TRON binary (on Linux) exports the following substitute functions which call the OS\u0026rsquo;s POSIX layer when testing in real time and uses virtual TRON\u0026rsquo;s clock when testing in virtual time:\ntron_thread_create instead of pthread_create tron_mutex_init instead of pthread_mutex_init tron_mutex_destroy instead of pthread_mutex_destroy tron_mutex_lock instead of pthread_mutex_lock tron_mutex_unlock instead of pthread_mutex_unlock tron_cond_init instead of pthread_cond_init tron_cond_destroy instead of pthread_cond_destroy tron_cond_wait instead of pthread_cond_wait tron_cond_timedwait instead of pthread_cond_timedwait tron_cond_signal instead of pthread_cond_signal tron_cond_broadcast instead of pthread_cond_broadcast tron_gettime instead of gettimeofday There are also functions to temporarily remove the current running thread from virtual time accounting and put it back to the pool of virtual time threads: tron_thread_deactivate and tron_thread_activate. These functions are not normally used, and exist only to simplify design of remote adapters like SocketAdapter.\nJava Example Example in java directory provides tron.VirtualLock class for controlling the state of (potentially remote) lock and creating tron.VirtualCondition variables. TRON\u0026rsquo;s monitor paradigm is very similar to Java\u0026rsquo;s synchronized methods, except that all participating threads should be created via tron.VirtualThread object, locking, unlocking, waits and notifications (signals) should be done explicitly on corresponding VirtualLock and VirtualCondition objects. See java-doc for more.\n"}] \ No newline at end of file +[{"uri":"/gui-reference/yggdrasil/tutorial/basic-test-generation/","title":"Basic Test Generation","tags":[],"description":"","content":" Create the models Open the On/Off System model \u0026ldquo;onoff/onoff.xml\u0026rdquo; file in Uppaal.

These variables must not be altered in the model. Hence, these two variables must be declared in the global Declarations section:\nint __reach__ = 0; int __single__ = 0; Add test pre-fix and post-fix code Second, there are two blocks of comments in the System declarations section of the model. The contents of a multi-line comment starting with TEST_PREFIX or TEST_POSTFIX are ejected as prefix code (before the actual test case behavior) or postfix code (after actual test case behavior) for each test case.\nIn this example each test case is a Java class with a main method; executing this Java class constitutes running the test case. Therefore the prefix and postfix code is the wrapper code to setup this Java class.\n/** TEST_PREFIX package app; import app.App; class Test extends App { public static void main(String[] args) { */ /** TEST_POSTFIX } } */ The test case class extends the App class we are testing.

Each step in the test case will execute some methods on this class.\nBy default, test cases will be named and sequentially numbered like testcase0.code. If desired, the filename and file extension can be changed by the following special comments in the System declarations section. For now, stay with the defaults.\n/** TEST_FILENAME test- */ /** TEST_FILEEXT .txt */ Add test step code annotations The system model must be decorated with test code. Double clicking the edge labeled on? and selecting the Test Code tab reveals an area for entering test code. In this model the test code should be set_on();. This will execute the method set_on() on the application whenever this edge is taken in a test case. Similarly, set_off(); is added to the edge labeled off?.\nFor locations, test code can be entered in two areas, Enter and Exit. This test code is added to the test case when the trace reaches the location or leaves it, respectively.\nAdding edge test code Adding location test code Generating the test cases To generate test cases go to the Test Cases tab. You may need to enable the tab in the GUI first.\nEnable Test Cases Tab Test Cases Tab Select which techniques for test case generation to use. For now only select the auto-depth search mode with a depth of 20, and click add.\nClicking add should generate a single trace. Each trace generated will have a line in the list similar to Trace coverage: 4/4. This shows that the trace covered four out of four edges. Further information about which locations and edges are/are not covered are shown in the Statistics panel to the right. Here, all of the 3 locations and 4 edges are trivially covered.\nBy double clicking the trace and selecting the Simulator tab, the trace can be examined. Unsurprisingly, the trace simply runs in circles with alternating on/off presses.\nNext output the test cases to the file by clicking Save Test Cases. Select the output folder for test cases. Make this point to the onoff folder in this tutorial. Inspecting the test case code Pressing the Save Test Cases button in the Test Cases tab will generate a file called testcase0.code in the selected output folder. If several traces have been generated, several files will be generated with sequential numbering.\nEach of these will be a Java class with the sequence of method invocations induce by the generated trace. A snippet is shown below.\n1: package app; 2: import app.App; 3: 4: class Test extends App { 5: 6: public static void main(String[] args) { 7: 8: expect_off(); 9: 10: set_on(); 11: 12: expect_on(); 13: 14: set_off(); 15: \u0026lt;... snip ... \u0026gt; 93: 94: } 95: } The test case starts with the prefix code on lines 1-6. Line 8 is the first step of the trace. This is expect_off(); since the initial location is Off. The first transition is the one labeled on?, the test code for this transition is set_on();. This is entered in the trace at line 10. The trace then enters location On and expect_on(); is in the test case at line 12. The test case continues in this fashion. The trace ends with the postfix code on lines 94-95. Exectuting the test cases Running the test.sh (or test.bat on Windows) will compile and run the test cases one at a time. It will output the name of each file as it executes them. No output from the test case signifies successful execution.\nonoff$ ./test.sh testcase0.code onoff$ Running the testMutant.sh (or testMutant.bat on Windows) will compile and run the test cases on the mutant (intentionally wrong) implementation. This should result in an exception being thrown, signifying a test error.\nonoff$ ./testMutant.sh testcase0.code Exception in thread \"main\" java.lang.AssertionError at app.App.expect_on(App.java:17) at app.Test.main(Test.java:15) onoff$ The implementation code can be examined in the onoff/app folder. See file onoff/app/AppC.java for the correct implementation and onoff/app/AppM.java for the mutant.\nIn order to transfer this to you own applications, you will have to decorate the model with test code such that the output from the generator constitutes an executable test case in whatever test execution framework you use.\n"},{"uri":"/language-reference/system-description/declarations/","title":"Declarations","tags":[],"description":"","content":"Declarations are either global or local (to a template) and can contain declarations of clocks, bounded integers, channels (although local channels are useless), arrays, records, and types.

The resulting trace is used as a test case. The search process is repeated until the newly generated trace does not contribute new coverage over the previous traces.

If a timed automaton is considered as a directed graph, then locations represent the vertices of this graph. Locations are connected by edges.\nNames Locations can have an optional name. Besides serving as an identifier allowing you to refer to the location from the requirement specification language, named locations are useful when documenting the model. The name must be a valid identifier and location names share the name space with variables, types, templates, etc.\nInvariants Locations are labelled with invariants. Invariants are expressions and thus follow the abstract syntax of expressions. However, the type checker restricts the set of possible expressions allowed in invariants.\nAn invariant must be a conjunction of simple conditions on clocks, differences between clocks, and boolean expressions not involving clocks. The bound must be given by an integer expression. Furthermore lower bounds on clocks are disallowed. It is important to understand that invariants influence the behaviour of the system \u0026ndash; they are distinctly different from specifying safety properties in the requirements specification language. States which violate the invariants are undefined; by definition, such states do not exist. This influences the interpretation of urgent channels and broadcast channels. Please see the section on synchronisations for a detailed discussion of this topic.\nIn addition, stopwatches are supported and they are declared within invariant expressions using Lagrangian derivative notation (x' == 0 for clock x) through conjunction (\u0026amp;\u0026amp; or and). Furthermore, the forall construct is accepted in invariants to ease use of clock arrays.\nStatistical model checker supports arbitrary floating point expression as a clock rate/derivative which allows modeling of dynamical costs. Dynamical cost variables declared as hybrid clock are abstracted away from symbolic analysis, which allows to combine statistical and symbolic queries over the same model.\nRate of Exponential The rate of exponential is a ratio expression which specifies the rate of exponential probability distribution. The rate expression can be a simple integer expression or two integer expressions separated by a colon like r:q where the rate is determined as ratio r/q.\nThe rate of exponential is used in a statistical model checking. If the location does not have an invariant over time, then it is assumed that the probability of leaving the location is distributed according to the exponential distribution: Pr(leaving after t)=1−e−λt, where e=2.718281828…, t is time and λ is the fixed rate. Probability density of the exponential distribution is λe−λt and thus intuitively λ means the probability density of leaving at time zero, i.e. as soon as some edge is enabled. The smaller the rate is specified, the longer the delay is preferred.\nThe generation of exact delay relies on pseudo random number generator and on 32-bit architectures the longest possible delay is rather limited: ln(231)/λ ≈ 21.49/λ.\nExamples The following are valid invariants. Here x and y are clocks and i is an integer array.\nx \u0026lt;= 2 x is less than or equal to 2. x \u0026lt; y x is (strictly) less than y. forall(i:int[0,2]) x[i] \u0026lt;= 3 The clocks x[0], x[1] and x[2] of the clock array x are less or equal to 3. forall(i:int[0,2]) y[i]' == b[i] The clock rates/derivatives y[0]', y[1]', and y[2]' are set to, respectively, b[0], b[1] and b[2]. Note that for symbolic queries the only valid values are 0 and 1. Setting the rate to 0 effectively stops a clock (makes it a stopwatch). In statistical model checking the rate is allowed to be any floating point expression. hybrid clock can be interpreted as a dynamical cost and abstracted away in symbolic queries while maintaining concrete values in statistical queries. Initial locations Each template must have exactly one initial location. The initial location is marked by a double circle.\nUrgent locations Urgent locations freeze time; i.e. time is not allowed to pass when a process is in an urgent location.\nSemantically, urgent locations are equivalent to:\nadding an extra clock, say x, that is reset on every incomming edge, and adding an invariant x \u0026lt;= 0 to the location. Committed locations Like urgent locations, committed locations also freeze time. Furthermore, if any process is in a committed location, the next transition must involve an edge from one of the committed locations.\nCommitted locations are useful for creating atomic sequences and for encoding synchronization between more than two components. Notice that if several processes are in a committed location at the same time, then they will interleave.\n\u0026ldquo;The Impressive Power of Stopwatches\u0026rdquo; by Frank Cassez and Kim G.

In addition it is possible to test whether a process is in a particular location and whether a state is a deadlock. State proprerties are evaluated for the initial state and after each transition. This means for example that a property A[] i != 1 might be satisfied even if the value of i becomes 1 momentarily during the evaluation of initializers or update-expressions on edges.\nLocations Expressions on the form P.ℓ, where P is a process and ℓ is a location, evaluate to true in a state (L, v) if and only if P.ℓ is in L.\nDeadlocks The state property deadlock evaluates to true for a state (L, v) if and only if for all d ≥ 0 there is no action successor of (L, v + d).\nProperty Equivalences The UPPAAL requirement specification language supports five types of properties, which can be reduced to two types as illustrated by the following table.\nName Property Equivalent to Possibly E\u0026lt;\u0026gt; p Invariantly A[] p not E\u0026lt;\u0026gt; not p Potentially always E[] p Eventually A\u0026lt;\u0026gt; p not E[] not p Leads to p --\u0026gt; q A[] (p imply A\u0026lt;\u0026gt; q) "},{"uri":"/gui-reference/concrete-simulator/simulation-control/","title":"Simulation Control","tags":[],"description":"","content":"The simulation control is the left panel of the simulator.

However, arguments are provided for any formal parameters of the template, thus changing the interface of the template.\nInstantiation ::= ID [ \u0026#39;(\u0026#39; [Parameters] \u0026#39;)\u0026#39; ] \u0026#39;=\u0026#39; ID \u0026#39;(\u0026#39; [Arguments] \u0026#39;)\u0026#39; \u0026#39;;\u0026#39; Template instantiation is most often used to bind formal parameters to actual arguments. The resulting template is later instantiated into a process by listing it in the system line.\nThe new template can itself be parameterised. This provides the opportunity to make a partial instantiation of a template, where some formal parameters are bound while others remain free. Examples of typical uses are listed below.\nFor more examples, see the example systems included in the UPPAAL distribution.\nExamples Renaming P1 = Q(); P2 = Q(); system P1, P2; Q is a template without any formal parameters. P1 and P2 become templates identical to Q. This is used to make several instances of Q with different names. Notice that P1=Q() is a shorthand of P1()=Q().\nBinding parameters In this example we use the textual syntax for template declaration as used in the XTA format. In the GUI, these templates would be defined graphically.\nprocess R(int \u0026amp;i, const int j) { ... } int x; S = R(x, 1); system S; Here we bind the formal parameters of R, i and j, to x and 1 respectively. S becomes a template without any parameters. When listed in the system line, S is instantiated into a process with the same name.\nPartial instantiation In this example we use the textual syntax for template declaration as used in the XTA format.

The first must be passed by reference, the remaining by value. Q is a template with two formal integer parameters. The first must be passed by reference, the second by value. Q1 is equivalent to P(v, data[0].a, data[0].b, 2 * data[0].c.\nThis is very convenient when defining many instances of the same template with almost the same arguments.

Any assignment out of range will cause the verification to abort.\nVariables of type bool can have the values false and true, which are equivalent to the the integer values 0 and 1. Like in C, any non-zero integer value evalutes to true and 0 evaluates to false.\nChannels can be declared as urgent and/or broadcast channels. See the section on synchronisations for information on urgent and broadcast channels.\nFloating-point variables of the double-type behave like C-double. Doubles values are not supported in the symbolic verification and simulation engine and are simply ignored, which can lead to unexpected results.\nVariables of string type must be declared constant. The primary use of string variables is in combination with External Functions\nConstants Integers, booleans, doubles strings, and arrays and records over integers and booleans can be marked constant by prefixing the type with the keyword const.\nMeta variables Integers, booleans, doubles, and arrays and records over integers and booleans can be marked as meta variables by prefixing the type with the keyword meta.\nMeta variables are stored outside of the state vector and are semantically not considered part of the state. I.e. two states that only differ in meta variables are considered to be equal.\nArrays The size of an array is specified either as an integer or as a bounded integer type or scalar set type. In the first case the array will be 0-indexed. In the latter case, the index will be of the given type. The following declares a scalar set s_t of size 3 and an integer array a of size 3 indexed by the scalar:\ntypedef scalar[3] s_t; int a[s_t]; Record Variables Record types are specified by using the struct keyword, following the C notation. For example, the record s below consist of the two fields a and b:\nstruct { int a; int b; } s; Scalars Scalars in UPPAAL are integer like elements with a limitted number of operations: Assignment and identity testing. Only scalars from the same scalar set can be compared.\nThe limitted number of operations means that scalars are unordered (or that all orders are equivalent in the sense that the model cannot distinguish between any of the them). UPPAAL applies symmetry reduction to any model using scalars. Symmetry reduction can lead to dramatic reductions of the state space of the model. resulting in faster verification and less memory being used.\nNotice that symmetry reduction is not applied if diagnostic trace generation is enabled or when A\u0026lt;\u0026gt;, E[] or --\u0026gt; properties are verified.\nScalar sets are treated as types. New scalar sets are constructed with the scalar[n] type constructor, where n is an integer indicating the size of the scalar set. Scalars of different scalar sets are incomparable. Use typedef to name a scalar set such that is can be used several times, e.g.\ntypedef scalar[3] mySet; mySet s; int a[mySet]; Here mySet is a scalar set of size 3, s is a variable whos value belongs to the scalar set mySet and a is an array of integers indexed by the scalar set mySet. Thus a[s] = 2 is a valid expression.\nCharacter Strings or Textual Type UPPAAL supports text constants via const string type for calling External Functions and refering to file system paths.\nFor example:\nconst string text = \u0026#34;message\u0026#34;; "},{"uri":"/toolsandapi/uppaal/","title":"UPPAAL","tags":[],"description":"","content":"UPPAAL can be executed from the command line using the following command on unix:\nuppaal [OPTION] \u0026hellip; [FILENAME]\nOn windows, the following command can be used (for instance, using \u0026ldquo;Run\u0026rdquo; from the Start Menu):\njava -jar \\path\\uppaal.jar [OPTION] \u0026hellip; [FILENAME]\nwhere path is the complete path to the uppaal.jar file (it might also be necessary to specify the complete path to the java executable).\nThe optional filename refers to a model to be loaded at startup.\nThe available command line options are:\n--antialias on|off (default on) turns antialiasing on or off in the automata rendering. --engineName The name of verification server (default is server on Unix and server.exe on Windows) to be used by the GUI. --enginePath The path to the verification server (e.g. bin-Windows) to be used by the GUI. --help Displays a summary of options. --serverHost Host name of remote machine running verification server. --serverPort Port number used by verification server on remote machine. --export templateName filename.ext Export the named template to a graphics file.

The user can non-deterministically press up or down.\nSystem template User template Add model annotations and test pre- and post-fix code Global variable declarations and prefix/postfix code is the same as for the on/off model.\nAdd test step code annotations accessing model variables The system model is decorated with slightly different test code.\nThe location Off is still decorated with expect_off();, similarly the location Max is decorated with expect_max();. The state On is different, since here we want to verify the value of the variable val as well as the location. This is done by entering the value of val into the test case using the code expect_on($(System.val));. This will execute the expect_on with the value of val as parameter. Since val is local to the process System the name is entered as System.val. Generating the test cases Like the basic case, to generate test cases go to the Test Cases tab.Select which techniques for test case generation to use. For now only select Depth auto mode and a depth of 20. Click Add to generate the test cases. Inspecting the coverage The test generation will normally generate 2-3 test case traces (depending on randomization). Here 3 traces were generated. Each trace generated will have a line in the list similar to Trace coverage: 5/8. This shows that the trace covered five out of eight edges. Selecting a specific trace will show furter coverage statistics about that trace, i.e., which locations/edges are traversed how many times. Here, the System\u0026rsquo;s edge from location On to On has been traversed 6 times, whereas the edge from On to Off is traversed 0 times, revealing that it is not covered by this trace.\nBy double clicking the trace and then selecting the Simulator tab, the trace can be further examined. By selecting Mark Visited in the View menu, all covered edges will be colored blue in the simulator.\nThe total coverage achieved by the previous steps can be viewed by clicking the Total Coverage button which updates the trace statistics with the combined coverage. Due to the randomness of the model and the test case generation algorithm it is unlikely to get 100% coverage. Here, 1 location and 3 edges are left uncovered.\nCompleting coverage using the Single Step method This coverage can be increased by using the Single step method. This method searches for traces for uncovered edges. Adding these, should result in a number of test trace being added (here one, thus four in total) giving 8/8 in total coverage, thereby achieving the desired high coverage; here complete edge- and location-coverage.\nInspecting the test case code Save the test cases using the Save Test Cases button; select the output folder for test case to be the updown folder in this tutorial. This will produce a test-case file named testcase0.code in the selected output folder. If several traces have been generated, several files will be generated with sequential numbering.\nEach of these will be a Java class with the sequence of method invocations induce by the generated trace. A snippet is shown below.\n1: package app; 2: import app.App; 3: 4: class Test extends App { 5: 6: public static void main(String[] args) { 7: 8: 9: expect_off(); 10: 11: up(); 12: 13: expect_on(1); 14: 15: up(); 16: 17: expect_on(2); 18: 19: up(); 20: 21: expect_on(3); 22: 23: down(); 24: 25: expect_on(2); 26: 27: up(); \u0026lt;... snip ...\u0026gt; 94: } 95: } The overall composition of the test case is the same as in the first part of the tutorial The difference can be seen on lines 13, 17, 21, and 25.

This can be done by creating a verification query for the purpose, and use that to generate a test trace.\nIn the Verifier tab you can enter queries. The Test Cases generator is able to search for traces satisfying reachability queries (that is queries which start with E\u0026lt;\u0026gt;. The query entered in this tutorial should be E\u0026lt;\u0026gt; System.Max, which asks the verifier to find a trace where the System process is in the location Max.\nGenerating test traces from queries To generate test cases go to the Test Cases tab and activate the Query mode, and hit Add.\nThis will generate a trace from the query file that leads to the Max location. You can inspect in the trace statistics that that location is infact now covered. By default, a test trace will be generated per query for all queries in the query file. In the drop-down selector you can chosse a specific query to generate and add.\nFurther, you can double click the trace and go to the Simulator tab and verify that this trace does indeed lead to the Max location. From the Off location this requires doing up ten successive times.

Elements can be added or removed from a selection by holding down the control key while clicking on the element. The current selection can be moved by dragging them with the mouse. Double clicking an element brings up the editor for that element. Right clicking an element brings up a pop-up menu from which properties of the element can be changed. It is possible to change the source and target of an edge by moving the mouse to the beginning or end of an edge until a small circle appears. Drag this circle to a new location in order to change the source or target of the edge. Location tool: The location tool is used to add new locations. Simply click with the left mouse button in order to add a new location. Branch tool: The branch tool is used to create probabilistic branches. Simply click with the left mouse button in order to add a new branch point, then choose edge tool to create connecting edges. Edge tool: The edge tool is used to add new edges between locations. Start the edge by clicking on the source location, then click in order to place nails and finally click the target location. The operation can be cancelled by pressing the right mouse button. Nail tool: The nail tool is used to add new nails to an edge. Simply click and drag anywhere on an edge to add and place a new nail. For users with a three button mouse, the middle mouse button can be used to create new elements.

Edges are annotated with selections, guards, synchronisations and updates. Edges may also have branches of possible destinations with their own updates and probabilistic weights.\nSelections Selections non-deterministically bind a given identifier to a value in a given range. The other three labels of an edge are within the scope of this binding. Guards An edge is enabled in a state if and only if the guard evaluates to true. Synchronisation Processes can synchronize over channels. Edges labelled with complementary actions over a common channel synchronise. Updates When an edge is traversed, the update expression of the edge is evaluated. The side effect of this expression changes the state of the system. Weights Edges emanating from a branchpoint can be assigned a probabilistic weight. The probability such edge-transition is proportional to the edge weight and inversely proportional to the sum of weights over all edges leaving that branchpoint. Selections SelectList ::= ID \u0026#39;:\u0026#39; Type | SelectList \u0026#39;,\u0026#39; ID \u0026#39;:\u0026#39; Type For each ID in SelectList, bind ID non-deterministically to a value of type Type domain. The identifiers are available as variables within the other labels of this edge (guard, synchronization, or update). The supported types are bounded integers and scalar sets. Note: The identifiers will shadow any variables with the same name.\nExample Select: i : int[0,3]\nSynchronization: a[i]?\nUpdate: receive_a(i)\nThis edge will non-deterministically bind i to an integer in the range 0 to 3, inclusive. The value i is then used both as an array index when deciding what channel to synchronize on, and as an argument in the subsequent call to the function receive_a.\nGuards Guards follow the abstract syntax of expressions. However, the type checker restricts the set of possible expressions allowed in guards: A guard must be a conjunction of simple conditions on clocks, differences between clocks, and boolean expressions not involving clocks. The bound must be given by an integer expression.\nExamples x \u0026gt;= 1 \u0026amp;\u0026amp; x \u0026lt;= 2 x is in the interval [1,2]. x \u0026lt; y x is (strictly) less than y. (i[0]+1) != (i[1]*10) Value at position 0 in an integer array i plus one is not equal to value at position 1 times 10 (i must be an integer array since we use arithmetic operations on its elements). Synchronisations Channels are used to synchronise processes. This is done by annotating edges in the model with synchronisation labels. Synchronisation labels are syntactically very simple. They are of the form e? or e!, where e is a side effect free expression evaluating to a channel.\nThe intuition is that two processes can synchronise on enabled edges annotated with complementary synchronisation labels, i.e. two edges in different processes can synchronise if the guards of both edges are satisfied, and they have synchronisation labels e1? and e2! respectively, where e1 and e2 evaluate to the same channel.\nWhen two processes synchronise, both edges are fired at the same time, i.e. the current location of both processes is changed. The update expression on an edge synchronizing on e1! is executed before the update expression on an edge synchronizing on e2?. This is similar to the kind of synchronisation used in CCS or to rendezvous synchronisation in SPIN.\nUrgent channels are similar to regular channels, except that it is not possible to delay in the source state if it is possible to trigger a synchronisation over an urgent channel. Notice that clock guards are not allowed on edges synchronising over urgent channels.\nBroadcast channels allow 1-to-many synchronisations. The intuition is that an edge with synchronisation label e! emits a broadcast on the channel e and that any enabled edge with synchronisation label e? will synchronise with the emitting process. I.e. an edge with an emit-synchronisation on a broadcast channel can always fire (provided that the guard is satisfied), no matter if any receiving edges are enabled. But those receiving edges, which are enabled will synchronise. Notice that clock guards are not allowed on edges receiving on a broadcast channel. The update on the emitting edge is executed first. The update on the receiving edges are executed left-to-right in the order the processes are given in the system definition.\nNotice that for both urgent and broadcast channels it is important to understand when an edge is enabled. An edge is enabled if the guard is satisfied. Depending on the invariants, the target state might be undefined. This does not change the fact that the edges are enabled! E.g. when two edges in two different processes synchronise via a broadcast channel, and the invariant of the target location of the receiving edge is violated, then this state is not defined. It is not the case that the emitting edge can be fired by itself since the receiving edge is enabled and thus must synchronise. Please see the section about the semantics for further details.\nUpdates An update is a comma separated list of expressions. These expressions will typically have side effects. Assignments to clocks are limited to the regular = assignment operator and only integer expressions are allowed on the right hand side of such assignments. The syntax of updates is defined by the grammar for Update:\nUpdate ::= [Expression (\u0026#39;,\u0026#39; Expression)*] Note: Assignments are evaluated sequentially (not concurrently). On synchronizing edges, the assignments on the !-side (the emitting side) are evaluated before the ?-side (the receiving side).\nThe regular assignment operator, =, can be used for assigning values to integer, boolean, record and clock variables. The other assignment operators are limitted to integer and boolean variables and work as in C, e.g. i += 2 is equivalent to i = i + 2 except that any side effect of evaluating i is only executed once in the first case whereas it is executed twice in the latter case.\nPlease remember that any integers are bounded. Any attempt to assign a value outside the declared range to an integer, will cause an error and the verification will be aborted.\nExamples x = 0 clock (or integer variable) x is reset. j = ( i[1]\u0026gt;i[2] ? i[1] : i[2] ) integer j is assigned the maximum value of array elements i[1] and i[2]. This is equivalent to j = i[1] \u0026gt;? i[2], except that one of the sub-expressions is evaluated twice in the example (once in the condition, and again in either the true case or the false case). x = 1, y = 2 * x integer variable x is set to 1 and y to 2 (as assignments are interpreted sequentially). Weights The weight over branch is a constant non-negative integer expressions denoting the probabilistic likely-hood of the branch being executed. The probability of a particular branch is determined as a ratio of its weight over the sum of weights of all branches emanating from the same branch node.\nThe weights are used in probabilistic and statistical model checking.\nExample Select: i : int[0,3]\nUpdate: gen_data(i)\nWeight: w[i]\n"},{"uri":"/gui-reference/menu-bar/edit/","title":"Edit Menu","tags":[],"description":"","content":"The Edit menu offers a set of commands supported in the system editor.

The second is primarily used to iterate over arrays indexed by scalars.\nA statement for (ID : Type) Statement will execute Statement once for each value ID of the domain of type Type. The scope of ID is bound to the Statement, and Type must be a bounded integer or a scalar set.\nSee also rail road diagrams for the entire ForStatement and WhileStatement.\nExamples add The following function returns the sum of two integers. The arguments are call by value.\nint add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } swap The following procedure swaps the values of two call-by-reference integer parameters.\nvoid swap(int \u0026amp;a, int \u0026amp;b) { int c = a; a = b; b = c; } initialize The following procedure initializes an array such that each element contains its index in the array. Notice that the an array parameter is a call-by-value parameter unless an ampersand is used in the declaration. This is different from C++ syntax, where the parameter could be considered an array of references to integer.\nvoid initialize(int\u0026amp; a[10]) { for (i : int[0,9]) { a[i] = i; } } Special Functions The following are the signatures of special functions which can be declared to be called on special verification events:\nvoid __ON_CONSTRUCT__(); void __ON_DESTRUCT__(); void __ON_BEGIN__(); void __ON_END__(); __ON_CONSTRUCT__ Called after the system (or a process) representation is constructed when specified in global declarations (or a template local declarations respectively). Useful to initialize meta variables and external libraries. __ON_DESTRUCT__ Called before the system (or a process) representation is destroyed when specified in global declarations (or a template local declarations respectively). Useful to release resources in external libraries. __ON_BEGIN__ Called before a query is started. Useful to initialize variables and external libraries. __ON_END__ Called after a query is finished. Useful to release resources in external libraries.

The test code is entered as verbatim text, so any language or execution back-end can be used. Test code can be entered in five areas: Prefix code, location enter code, location exit code, edge code, and postfix code. Each test case starts with the prefix code, continues with test code along the locations and edges of the trace and ends with the postfix code.\nThe prefix (and the postfix) code is entered as a comment after the system definition section using a special multi-line comment starting with the word TEST_PREFIX (and TEST_POSTFIX respectively).\nEach location in the transition system has two areas for test code. Double clicking a location in the editor will bring up a window with a test code tab. The location enter code is added to the test case when this location is entered, and the location exit code is added when the location is left.\nSimilarly double clicking an an edge will bring up a window with a single test code field. This code is added to the test case when the transition containing this edge is traversed.\nFor location and edge test code the value of variables can be entered into the test case. This is done using $(var) for global variables or $(Process.var) for process-local variables. Dollar signs can be escaped with backslash like $ and backslash can be escaped with backslash like \\. For location enter code the value is read after the transition into the state has been taken. For location exit code the value is read before the transition out of the state is taken. For edge code the value is read before taking the transition.\nThe test case file name and extension can be configured using special comments too: TEST_FILENAME and TEST_FILEEXT.

The query will also estimate a probability confidense interval of the expression goal being true just like in Pr query. The confidence level is controlled by α-level of significance in the Statistical parameters. Pr[\u0026lt;=10](\u0026lt;\u0026gt; good) runs a number of stochastic simulations and estimates the probability of good eventually becoming true within 10 time units. The number of runs is decided based on the probability interval precision (±ε) and confidence level (level of significance α in Statistical parameters), see Confidence Intervals for details. The query also computes a probability distribution over time when the predicate good is satisfied (right-click the property and choose a plot). Pr[c\u0026lt;=10; 100]([] safe) runs 100 stochastic simulations and estimates the probability of safe remaining true within 10 cost units in terms of clock c. Pr[\u0026lt;=10](\u0026lt;\u0026gt; good) \u0026gt;= 0.5 checks if the probability of reaching good within 10 time units is greater than 50%.

Various data plots (if available) can be accessed via popup-menu by right-clicking the statistical property. The y-axis always denotes a probability or its density, while x-axis denotes either the variable values limited by the statistical query or a step (transition) count in the model run.\nProbability density distribution A histogram created from probability distribution where each bucket is normalized by a bucket width. Useful for comparison of various distributions, potentially with different bucket widths. Probability distribution A histogram created from a frequency histogram where each bucket is normalized by a total number of runs. Useful for assessing a probability of a property being satisfied at a particular moment in time interval. Cumulative probability distribution A histogram created by adding up all frequency histogram buckets up to the current bucket and normalized by a total number of runs. Confidence Intervals for Probabilities The confidence intervals for probabilities are computed using Clopper-Pearson method (also known as \u0026ldquo;exact\u0026rdquo;) for binomial distribution for a given level of confidence (1-α). The method is conservative in a sense that it guarantees the minimum coverage of the real probability in (1-α) of cases. In the plots, the estimated confidence is valid only for one bucket at a time (the gathered data is reused to compute each individual bucket). Confidence Intervals for Mean The confidence intervals for mean estimation are computed using quantiles of Student\u0026rsquo;s t-distribution for a given level of confidence of 1-α. Note that t-distribution approaches the commonly used Normal (Gaussian) distribution when the number of samples is high. Frequency histogram The frequency histogram is created by calculating the number of runs satisfying the property at a particular moment in time interval. Useful for calculating the number of runs. Any plot can be customized from a popup menu by right-clicking on the plot.\nFurther, the plot labels and titles can be edited and several data sets can be superimposed in one figure by using Plot Composer, accessible from the Tools menu.

Where only the expressions i, j, d and f are observable. The {..} -\u0026gt; {..} syntax controls what is observable. On one hand, by observing only a partial state learning times can be significantly reduced and the strategy structure simplified. On the other hand, the resulting strategy is not guaranteed to converge to a optimal solution under partial observability. There are two types of observable state expressions: discrete and continuous. The discrete are specified in the first bracket and the continuous in the second: {discrete expressions} -\u0026gt; {continuous expressions}. By default the entire state is considered during learning. Discrete expressions are observed as they are, i.e the query minE(cost) [\u0026lt;=10] { i, j } -\u0026gt; { } : \u0026lt;\u0026gt; goal creates a strategy by only observing the values of i and j.\nContinuous expressions are discretized using online partition refinement (see Teaching Stratego to Play Ball).

However we suggest caution when using floating point numbers or clocks in discrete observability.\nProcess locations are ignored when specifying observability unless explicitly specified using location keyword.

The inline-if operator does in some cases (e.g. when both the true and false operands evaluate to compatible references) also evaluate to a reference, i.e., it is possible to use an inline-if on the left hand side of an assignment.\nThe use of the deadlock keyword is restricted to the requirement specification language.\nSee rail road diagram for the entire Expression syntax.\nBoolean Values Boolean values are type compatible with integers. An integer value of 0 (zero) is evaluated to false and any other integer value is evaluated to true. The boolean value true evaluates to the integer value 1 and the boolean value false evaluates to the integer value 0. Notice: A comparison like 5 == true evaluates to false, since true evaluates to the integer value 1. This is consistent with C++.\nPrecedence UPPAAL operators have the following associativity and precedence, listed from the highest to lowest. Operators borrowed from C keep the same precedence relationship with each other.\nAssociativity Operator left () [] . right ! not ++ -- unary - unary + left * / % left binary - binary + left \u0026lt;\u0026lt; \u0026gt;\u0026gt; left \u0026lt;? \u0026gt;? left \u0026lt; \u0026lt;= \u0026gt;= \u0026gt; left == != left \u0026amp; left ^ left | left \u0026amp;\u0026amp; and left || or imply right ?: right = := += -= *= /= %= \u0026amp;= |= \u0026lt;\u0026lt;= \u0026gt;\u0026gt;= ^= left forall exists sum Operators Anybody familiar with the operators in C, C++, Java or Perl should immediately feel comfortable with the operators in UPPAAL. Here we summarise the meaning of each operator.\nOperator Description Example () Parenthesis alter the evaluation order 3 * (5 - 2) → 9 [] Array lookup my_array[0] . Infix lookup operator to access process or structure type scope my_struct.field1 ! Logical negation ! true → false not Logical negation not true → false ++ Increment (can be used as both prefix and postfix operator) ++counter counter++ -- Decrement (can be used as both prefix and postfix operator) --counter counter-- - Integer subtraction (can also be used as unary negation:-7) 5 - 3 → 2 + Integer addition (can also be used as unary plus: +7) 5 + 3 → 8 * Integer multiplication 5 * 3 → 15 / Integer division 5 / 3 → 1 % Modulo 5 % 3 → 2 \u0026lt;\u0026lt; Left bitshift 1 \u0026lt;\u0026lt; 4 → 16 \u0026gt;\u0026gt; Right bitshift 16 \u0026gt;\u0026gt; 4 → 1 \u0026lt;?

For example, x ? 1 : 2 is interpreted as (x != 0) ? 1 : 2.\nA few binary operators can be syntactically combined with assignment to produce a compact assignment expression:\nOperator Assignment Example Meaning + += x += y x = x + y - -= x -= y x = x - y * *= x *= y x = x * y / /= x /= y x = x / y % %= x %= y x = x % y \u0026amp; \u0026amp;= x \u0026amp;= y x = x \u0026amp; y ^ ^= x ^= y x = x ^ y | |= x |= y x = x | y \u0026lt;\u0026lt; \u0026lt;\u0026lt;= x \u0026lt;\u0026lt;= y x = x \u0026lt;\u0026lt; y \u0026gt;\u0026gt; \u0026gt;\u0026gt;= x \u0026gt;\u0026gt;= y x = x \u0026gt;\u0026gt; y Expressions Involving Clocks When involving clocks, the actual expression syntax is restricted by the type checker. Expressions involving clocks are divided into three categories: Invariants, guards, and constraints:\nAn invariant is a conjunction of upper bounds on clocks and differences between clocks, where the bound is given by an integer expression, and clock rates. A guard is a conjunction of bounds (both upper and lower) on clocks and differences between clocks, where the bound is given by an integer expression. A constraint is any boolean combination (involving negation, conjunction, disjunction and implication) of bounds on clocks and differences between clocks, where the bound is given by an integer expression. In addition, any of the three expressions can contain expressions (including disjunctions) over integers, as long as invariants and guards are still conjunctions at the top-level. The full constraint language is only allowed in the requirement specification language.\nOut of Range Errors and Invalid Evaluations An evaluation of an expression is invalid if out of range errors occur during evalution. This happens in the following situations:\nDivision by zero. Shift operation with negative count. Out of range assignment. Out of range array index. Assignment of a negative value to a clock. Function calls with out of range arguments. Function calls with out of range return values. In case an invalid evaluation occurs during the computation of a successor, i.e., in the evaluation of a guard, synchronisation, assignment, or invariant, then the verification is aborted.\nQuantifiers An expression forall (ID : Type) Expr evaluates to true if Expr evaluates to true for all values ID of the type Type. An expression exists (ID : Type) Expr evaluates to true if Expr evaluates to true for some value ID of the type Type. In both cases, the scope of ID is the inner expression Expr, and Type must be a bounded integer or a scalar set.\nExample The following function can be used to check if all elements of the boolean array a have the value true.\nbool alltrue(bool a[5]) { return forall (i : int[0,4]) a[i]; } Sum An expression sum (ID : Type) Expr evaluates to an integer and is equal to the sum of the expressions evaluated with ID ranging over the given type argument. Boolean or state predicates (in TCTL expressions only) are accepted but not clock constraints. The expressions must be side-effect free. The type must be a bounded integer or a scalar set.\nMITL Expressions Statistical model checking (SMC) supports the full logic of weighted metric interval temporal logic (MITL). The syntax of MITL expressions is defined by the grammar for MITLExpression.\nMITLExpression = BExpr | (MITLExpression \u0026amp;\u0026amp; MITLExpression) | (MITLExpression || MITLExpression) | (MITLExpression \u0026#39;U\u0026#39; \u0026#39;[\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;,\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;]\u0026#39; MITLExpression) | (MITLExpression \u0026#39;R\u0026#39; \u0026#39;[\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;,\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;]\u0026#39; MITLExpression) | (\u0026#39;X\u0026#39; MITLExpression) | (\u0026#39;\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u0026#39; \u0026#39;[\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;,\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;]\u0026#39; MITLExpression) | (\u0026#39;[]\u0026#39; \u0026#39;[\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;,\u0026#39; NAT \u0026#39;]\u0026#39; MITLExpression); BExpr describes a Boolean expression over clocks, variables, and locations. See rail road diagram of entire MITLExpression syntax: Floating Point Type Support Statistical model checking (SMC) supports double precision floating point type double. The clock variables also have floating point values in SMC. Symbolic and statistical model checking can be applied on the same model provided that double and hybrid clock type variables do not influencing the model logic, i.e. they cannot be used in guard and invariant constraints (but can be used in ODE expressions).\nThe following is the list of builtin floating point functions (mostly imported from C math library, hence the C math manual can be

Only single-dimentional arrays are supported on only mutable types; arrays of chan and strings are not currently supported.\nThe following table summarizes the current support:\nUPPAAL Type C Type By Value Return Array bool bool x x x int int32_t x x x double double x x x clock double x chan const char* ptr_t size_t x x x string const char* \u0026lt;type\u0026gt;[] \u0026lt;type\u0026gt; A violation of a range of a bounded integer (either pass-by-reference or return) will cause a runtime error.\nResource Initialization and Release The library is loaded during document parsing and the library can be instructed to initialize and release its resources using Special Functions.\nDefining External Library An external library can be compiled from C or C++ code and linked into a shared library. UPPAAL uses C symbol name mangling, so C++ compiler needs to be instructed to export \u0026quot;C\u0026quot; names, whereas C compiler does it by default.\nThe following C/C++ code implements the library functions used for the example above.\nDeclarations in external.h (useful for testing outside UPPAAL):\n#ifndef LIBRARY_EXTERNAL_H #define LIBRARY_EXTERNAL_H #ifdef __cplusplus extern \u0026#34;C\u0026#34; { // tells C++ compiler to use C symbol name mangling (C compiler ignores) #endif // __cplusplus // Computes a square root and truncates to an integer int get_sqrt(int n); /// Retrieves a number from a table at specified index int get_prime(int index); /// Computes n-th number in Fibonacci series int fibonacci(int n); /// Consults with an external world bool is_the_world_safe(); /// Sets the global temperature void set_temperature(int value); #ifdef __cplusplus } // end of \u0026#34;C\u0026#34; symbol name mangling #endif // __cplusplus #endif // LIBRARY_EXTERNAL_H Implementation (definition) in external.cpp:\n#include \u0026#34;external.h\u0026#34; #include \u0026lt;vector\u0026gt; #include \u0026lt;cmath\u0026gt; #ifdef __cplusplus extern \u0026#34;C\u0026#34; { // tells C++ compiler to use C symbol name mangling (C compiler ignores) #endif // __cplusplus int get_sqrt(int n) { return std::sqrt(n); } int get_prime(const int index) { static const int primes[] = { 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41 }; if (index \u0026lt; 0 || sizeof(primes)/sizeof(primes[0]) \u0026lt; static_cast\u0026lt;size_t\u0026gt;(index)) return -1; return primes[index]; } int fibonacci(const int n) { static auto series = std::vector\u0026lt;int\u0026gt;{0,1,1}; // memoize if (n \u0026lt; 0) return -1; if (series.size() \u0026lt;= static_cast\u0026lt;size_t\u0026gt;(n)) { // need to extend the series auto i = series.size(); series.resize(n+1); for (; i \u0026lt; series.size(); ++i) series[i] = series[i-1] + series[i-2]; } return series[n]; } static int temperature = 21; // external state bool is_the_world_safe() { return temperature \u0026lt; 37; } void set_temperature(const int value){ temperature = value; } #ifdef __cplusplus } // end of \u0026#34;C\u0026#34; symbol name mangling #endif // __cplusplus Execute the following shell commands to compile the source external.cpp into object file external.o and then link external.o into a shared library libexternal.so:\ng++ -std=c++17 -Wpedantic -Wall -Wextra -fPIC -g -Og -o external.o -c external.cpp gcc -shared -o libexternal.so external.o For optimized builds replace -g Og with -DNDEBUG -O3 in the above command and strip the details with strip libexternal.so.\nFor more library examples please visit uppaal-libs repository.\nAssumptions UPPAAL assumes that the external function calls produce deterministic outcomes: for any argument values, the function produces the same outcome when called with the same values at any time.\nUPPAAL does not check and will not warn if an external function is behaving non-deterministically.\nIt is user\u0026rsquo;s responsibility to guarantee that the supplied external functions behave deterministically.\nExamples:\nPure (stateless or free) functions do not depend on static variables and do not communicate with outside world, therefore behave deterministically. For example, get_sqrt function above. Lookup functions like get_prime depend on static data, but it is immutable, therefore the function is deterministic too. Memoized functions like fibonacci modify static variable, but all the looked up values are computed only once, therefore calls produce deterministic results. Functions consulting with an external or shared mutable state (like is_the_world_safe) produce state-dependent outcomes, therefore may produce different results at different call sites even if the same argument values are passed. Such functions are non-deterministic and are not supported. The effects of non-deterministic functions are undefined due to undefined order of execution. Simulators and Verifier execute transitions in unspecified order corresponding to very different parts of the state space, thus unrelated transitions may share the library data in unintended ways and thus produce bogus varying results.\nSome state-dependent functions can be forced to behave determistically if the model state is synchronized with the library state during the same model transition. For example, call to is_the_world_safe() is safe if set_temperature(int) is called before on the same transition (could be on the same edge or on different edges synchronized over a channel).\nDebugging Inspect the library file using file /home/user/lib/libexternal.so:\nlibexternal.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, ...

One needs to specify the list of activities and for each activity, what the different colored parts of the bar should reflect.\nThe Gantt Chart specification is placed after the system definition.

The second part (the one after the colon) specifies for each activity, what the bar should reflect. An instance of GanttExpr consists of two expressions. The one before -\u0026gt; is evaluated to a boolean value. If it is evaluated to true, the expression after -\u0026gt; will be evaluated to an integer. Note that this integer is not necessarily a constant. The integer will be map to a color (e.g. 0 will be map to red and 1 to green), which is the color of the bar when the expression is evaluated to true.

For example, it could be [0.45, 0.55] (95% CI), or could be written as 0.5 ± 0.05 (95% CI), where ε=0.05 and α=0.05.\nThe frequentist interpretation of CI is that there exists a true probability that the state expression q is true and it is included in that confidence interval, but there is a risk α of making an error (the true probability being outside the confidence interval).\nChernoff-Hoeffding bound N=ln(2/α)/(2ε2) provides an intuition that the number of required samples (runs) N is inversely proportional to ε2 and proportional to the ln(1/α). This result assumes that the measurements are sampled from a continuous interval [0,1] which makes it overly conservative. For example, for α=0.05 and ε=0.05 it requires 738 runs irrespective of the actual probability. However, if the samples are constrained to either 0 or 1 and we observe a repetitive sequence of 30 successes we could conclude much earlier with [0.9,1] (95% CI) just by using a statistical rule of three.\nInstead, UPPAAL uses Clopper-Pearson exact method for binomial distribution which samples from {0,1} and provides more precise bounds with fewer runs, especially when the probability is close to 0 or 1.\nIf the number of runs is not specified in the query, then the probability estimation uses Clopper-Pearson algorithm sequentially to determine when to stop generating the simulation runs thus allowing earlier termination. Therefore the number of runs is sensitive to α, ε and also the estimated probability itself. The α and ε parameters are controlled in the statistical parameters of engine options.\nThe following plots show the number of samples (runs) required to estimate the confidence interval using the exact method sequentially for a given α, ε and the true probability (estimating P\u0026gt;0.5 is symmetric to estimating 1-P): For example, for the default parameter values ε=0.05 and α=0.05 the sequential algorithm requires 411 — the highest number of samples (runs) — when the probability is close to 0.5, where the uncertainty is the highest. Whereas the algorithm cannot distinguish the true probabilities ≤ ε (0.05) and thus could terminate much earlier: after 72 runs. Note that the uncertainty of the required runs is the largest when the true probability is close to either 0 or 1.\nThe following plot shows the number of samples (runs) required when the width of the interval is halved to ε=0.025: The following plot shows the number of samples (runs) required when the width of the interval is even more narrow ε=0.01: The following series of plots demonstrates how the estimated confidence interval converges to the true probability P value as more samples are produced:\nNote that occasionally the confidence intervals may overstep and thus exclude the true probability value, which should not happen more often than the specified level of significance α.\nThe following sequence of plots show how the width of the confidence intervals converges as more samples are produced:\nNote that in case of extreme probability value (close to 0 or 1, e.g. P=0.01), repeated observations are more likely and thus they may create false confidence that the probability is extreme (i.e. 0 or 1), but then a single differing observation may disturb the interval size greately and therefore more samples are required than just single sided interval.\nSeveral sequential CI estimation algorithms for binomial proportion are described in the literature below.\nFixed-Width Sequential Confidence Intervals for a Proportion, Jesse Frey.

Such a model consists of one or more concurrent processes, local and global variables, and channels.\nGlobal variables, channels and functions can be defined in the system definition using the grammar for declarations. Such declarations have a global scope. However, they are not directly accessible by any template, as they are declared after the templates. They are most useful when giving actual arguments to the formal parameters of templates. The declarations in the system definition and in the top-level declarations section are part of the system model.\nThe processes of the system model are defined in the form of a system declaration line, using the grammar for System given below. The system line contains a list of templates to be instantiated into processes. Processes can be prioritised as described in the section on priorities.\nSystem ::= \u0026#39;system\u0026#39; ID ((\u0026#39;,\u0026#39; | \u0026#39;\u0026lt;\u0026#39;) ID)* \u0026#39;;\u0026#39; Templates without parameters are instantiated into exactly one process with the same name as the template. Parameterised templates give rise to one process per combination of arguments, i.e., UPPAAL automatically binds any free template parameters. Any such parameter must be either a call-by-value bounded integer and or a call-by-value scalar. Individual processes can be referenced in expressions using the grammar for Process given below. Notice that this is already covered by the grammar for expressions.\nProcess ::= ID \u0026#39;(\u0026#39; [Arguments] \u0026#39;)\u0026#39; It is often desirable to manually bind some or all formal parameters of a template to actual arguments.

In the GUI, these templates would be defined graphically.\nprocess P() { state s...; ... } process Q(int[0,3] a) { state t...; ... } system P, Q; This defines a system consisting of five processes named P, Q(0), Q(1), Q(2) and Q(3). Automatic binding of template parameters is very useful in models in which a large number of almost identical processes must be defined, e.g., the nodes of a network in a model of a communication protocol.

XML and XTA files can be loaded and stored via the Open Project, Open System, Save System, and Save System As menus. When saving a file, the file type is determined by the file name extension used. Each format is explained in more details below.\nNotice that the above mentioned file formats are mostly independent from the type of changes made to the syntax between UPPAAL 3.4 and UPPAAL 4.0.\nIn additon to the file formats for models, UPPAAL uses clear text query files for storing queries and the XTR file format for storing traces.\nXML The newest format is XML based and files in this format have the ending .xml. This format supports all features of UPPAAL. Elements like templates, locations, edges and labels are described using tags. This format was introduced in the GUI in version 3.2. As of version 3.4, the XML format is also supported by the verification engine. The GUI uses this format as its native file format. The addition of colors and notes on labels and edges, and the select expresssion on edges in UPPAAL 4.0 has resulted in the addition of a color attribute and two new label types. If these features are not used, the XML files generated by UPPAAL 4.0 are readable by UPPAAL 3.4.\nThe level of abstraction in the format is chosen so that the format is independent of the actual syntax of declarations, invariants, guards, etc. Thus all labels are simply treated as strings without structure. In a GUI, this is very important, since the user might enter arbitrary text into the label fields and the file format must be able to cope with this situation. Before the introduction of the XML format, the XTA format was used. With this format it was not possible to save syntactically incorrect systems, i.e., if the user made a mistake in the syntax of a label it was not possible to save this systems.\nXTA The XTA format was introduced in version 3.0. This format can only reliably store syntactically correct systems. Anonymous locations are not supported by this format (UPPAAL automatically assigns a unique name to anonymous locations when saved to an XTA file). Graphical information (coordinates) about the objects are stored in a separate UGI file, although this is transparent to the user. XTA files use the ending .xta and UGI files the ending .ugi.\nIn UPPAAL 4.0, the XTA format was extended with support for the select expression on edges. The UGI format was extended with support for the color attributes. If these features are not used, the XTA files generated by UPPAAL 4.0 are readable by UPPAAL 3.4.\nTA The TA format is a subset of the XTA format and does not support the template concept nor does it contain any graphical information about the system. UPPAAL can no longer save files in this format, although TA files can still be read.\nQuery files Query files use a clear-text format listing all queries inleaved with comments. The format dates back to UPPAAL 2. Files in this format have the file ending .q.\nTrace files Symbolic simulation traces Symbolic simulation traces can be stored using the XTR format; files in this format have the extension .xtr. The format was introduced in UPPAAL 3.0.\nXTR files are intimately linked to the model from which they were generated. Any change (other than layout and white space changes) in the model may render the trace file unreadable. Even reordering some variable declarations will break the link.\nOur parser library, libutap, contains a small utility called tracer, which can read XTR files and translate them to a human readable format. The library and the utility are released under the LGPL license and may thus be used as a starting point for writing custom trace analysis tools. More information about the library can be found on the UPPAAL web page.\nConcrete simulation traces Concrete simulation traces can be stored using the UCTR format; files in this format have the extension .uctr.\n.uctr files are written in a JSON-like syntax, such that external editors can parse them.\nA .uctr file contains all transitions made in the simulation along with their delay in the transitions array.\n"},{"uri":"/gui-reference/concrete-simulator/gantt-chart/","title":"Gantt Chart Panel","tags":[],"description":"","content":"The Gantt Chart panel is the middle rightmost panel of the simulator.

This is typically the most efficient option when the complete state space must be searched. When generating shortest or fastest traces, this is likely the best setting. Depth first Search the state space in depth first search order. If a counter example or witnessing trace is expected to exist, this setting is usually better than the breadth first setting. It is not recommended to use this search order when generating shortest or fastest traces. Random depth first Search the state space in randomised depth first search order. If a counter example or witnessing trace is expected to exist, this is usually the best setting. Due to the randomisation, traces may vary from run to run. It is not recommended to use this search order when generating shortest or fastest traces. State Space Reduction When searching the state space, UPPAAL does not necessarily have to store all states in memory in order to guarantee termination. This option influences how aggressively UPPAAL tries to avoid storing states. There is normally a tradeoff between space and speed.\nNone Store all states. Conservative Avoid storing committed states. Aggressive Avoid storing more than one state per cycle. State Space Representation This option determines how the state space should be represented in the model checker.\nSome representations are approximative in the sence that either a larger or smaller state space than the real one is generated. When an approximative representation is used, UPPAAL may conclude that a query is maybe satisfied, i.e., UPPAAL cannot make a decisive conclusions given the representation selected.\nDifference Bound Matrices (DBM) DBMs are often fast, but for models with many clocks they require a lot of memory. Compact Data Structure A more compact, but slower representation than DBMs. In particular for models with many clocks, this setting will often significantly reduce memory consumption. Even for models with no or few clocks, this option enables other memory saving techniques at the expense of speed. Under Approximation Uses bit-state hashing to represent the state space. This results in an under approximation, however the degree of approximation can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the hash table: Large hash tables result in a larger part of the state space being searched. The hash table size can be selected with the hash table size option. Over Approximation Uses convex-hull approximation of zones. This results in an over approximation of the state space. For models without clocks, this setting has no effect. Note that if a model contains stopwatches (invariant expressions like x'==0 where x is a clock), then the resulting analysis is overapproximate even if DBM or Compact Data Structure options are selected (DBM cannot represent additional constraints required by stopwatches). In such case, UPPAAL may also report that a reachability propery is maybe satisfied, meaning that the found counter-example trace may be spurious (i.e. not realizable).\nDiagnostic Trace This option controls if a counter-example or witnessing trace (if there is one) should be generated during verification. The trace is loaded into the simulator after verification. Enabling trace generation has two side effects:\nOnly one property at a time can be verified. Symmetry reduction is disabled. The possible settings for trace generation are:\nNone Do not generated any diagnostic trace. Some Generate a diagnostic trace. Shortest Generate a shortest trace, i.e. a trace with the smallest number of transitions. Fastest Generate a fastest trace, i.e. a trace with the shortest accumulated time delay. Extrapolation The range of clocks is unbounded, i.e., clocks can obtain arbitrarily large real values. To guarantee termination, UPPAAL uses an abstraction techniques called extrapolation. The extrapolated state space is finite. UPPAAL implements a number of extrapolation techniques that differ in the size of the extrapolated state space. Not all extrapolation techniques preserve all properties for all kinds of models. UPPAAL automatically selects the coarsets extrapolation, which still preserves the property being analysed.\nSometimes it may be of benefit to use a coarser (and faster) extrapolation that the one selected by UPPAAL. By doing so, the analysis will use an over-approximation of the state space. Listed from finest to coarsets, the choices are: None, Difference, Local, and Lower/Upper.\nAutomatic Selects the coarsest extrapolation preserving the property being analysed. If in doubt, use this setting. None Do not use extrapolation. Termination is no longer guaranteed. Since performing the extrapolation is relatively expensive, this may be of use if you know that the symbolic state space is finite. Difference Used whenever the model or the query contain difference constraints over clocks, e.g., x - y \u0026lt; 3. Local Used whenever the query contains either the deadlock keyword or involves a liveness property (except if the model or the query contain difference constraints). Lower/Upper Used whenever a reachability analysis is performed, except when the deadlock keyword is used or when the model or the query contain difference constraints. Hash table size Adjusts the amount of memory used to represent the state space when using bit-state hashing. This option has no effect unless under approximation is selected.\nReuse When selected, instructs the verifier to (whenever possible) reuse the generated portion of the state space when several properties of the same system are checked.\nStatistical Parameters Lower probabilistic deviation (-δ) Used in hypothesis testing (qualitative model-checking) to specify the lower bound of indifference region from the specified probability. Upper probabilistic deviation (+δ) Used in hypothesis testing (qualitative model-checking) to specify the upper bound of indifference region from the specified probability. Probability of false positives (α) Used in hypothesis testing (qualitative model-checking queries like Pr[...](...) \u0026lt;= 0.5) and probability estimation (quantitative model-checking queries like Pr[...](...)) to specify the level of significance (probability of Type I error). Probability of false negatives (β) Used in hypothesis testing (qualitative model-checking queries like Pr[...](...) \u0026lt;= 0.5) to specify the level of significance (probability of Type II error). Probability uncertainty (ε) Used in probability estimation (qualitative model-checking) to constrain the size of the confidence interval in a form of p ± ε (1-α CI). Ratio lower bound (u0) Used in comparison of two probabilities. Ratio upper bound (u1) Used in comparison of two probabilities. Histogram bucket width Specifies the width of each column in the histogram. By default it is set to zero meaning that the width is determined by ratio of entire histogram width divided by a bucket count. Histogram bucket count Specifies the number of columns in the histogram. By default it is set to zero meaning that the count is determined by taking a square root of a total number of samples and dividing by four.

The priority orders defined in the system are translated into a priority order on tau-transitions and synchronizing transitions.

However, local names may shadow globally declared names.\n"},{"uri":"/language-reference/system-description/semantics/","title":"Semantics","tags":[],"description":"","content":"In the following we give a pseudo-formal semantics for UPPAAL. The semantics defines a timed transition system (S, s0, →) describing the behaviour of a network of extended timed automata. The set of states S is defined as {(L, v) | v ⊨ Inv(L)}, where L is a location vector, v is a function (called a valuation) mapping integer variables and clocks to their values, and Inv is a function mapping locations and location vectors to invariants. The initial state s0 is the state where all processes are in the initial location, all variables have their initial value, and all clocks are zero. The transition relation, →, contains two kinds of transitions: delay transitions and action transitions. We will describe each type below.\nGiven a valuation v and an expression e, we say that v satisfies e if e evaluates to non-zero for the given valuation v.\nInvalid Evaluations If during a successor computation any expression evaluation is invalid (consult the section on expressions for further details about invalid evaluations), the verification is aborted.\nDelay Transitions Delay transitions model the passing of time without changing the current location. We have a delay transition (L, v) −d→ (L, v\u0026rsquo;), where d is a non-negative real, if and only if:\nv\u0026rsquo; = v+d, where v+d is obtained by incrementing all clocks with d. for all 0 ≤ d\u0026rsquo; ≤ d: v+d\u0026rsquo; ⊨ Inv(L) L contains neither committed nor urgent locations for all locations ℓ in L and for all locations ℓ\u0026rsquo; (not necessarily in L), if there is an edge from ℓ to ℓ\u0026rsquo; then either: this edge does not synchronise over an urgent channel, or this edge does synchronise over an urgent channel, but for all 0 ≤ d\u0026rsquo; ≤ d we have that v+d\u0026rsquo; does not satisfy the guard of the edge. Action Transitions For action transtions, the synchronisation label of edges is important. Since UPPAAL supports arrays of channels, we have that the label contains an expression evaluating to a channel. The concrete channel depends on the current valuation. To avoid cluttering the semantics we make the simplifying assumption that each synchronisation label refers to a channel directly.\nPriorities increase the determinism of a system by letting a high priority action transition block a lower priority action transition. Note that delay transitions can never be blocked, and no action transition can be blocked by a delay transition.\nFor action transitions, there are three cases: Internal transitions, binary synchronisations and broadcast synchronisations. Each will be described in the following.\nInternal Transitions We have a transition (L, v) −*→ (L\u0026rsquo;, v\u0026rsquo;) if there is an edge e=(ℓ,ℓ\u0026rsquo;) such that:\nthere is no synchronisation label on e v satisfies the guard of e L\u0026rsquo; = L[ℓ\u0026rsquo;/ℓ] v\u0026rsquo; is obtained from v by executing the update label given on e v\u0026rsquo; satisfies Inv(L\u0026rsquo;) Either ℓ is committed or no other location in L is committed. There is no action transition from (L, v) with a strictly higher priority. Binary Synchronisations We have a transition (L, v) −*→ (L\u0026rsquo;, v\u0026rsquo;) if there are two edges e1=(ℓ1,ℓ1\u0026rsquo;) and e2=(ℓ2,ℓ2\u0026rsquo;) in two different processes such that:\ne1 has a synchronisation label c! and e2 has a synchronisation label c?, where c is a binary channel. v satisfies the guards of e1 and e2. L\u0026rsquo; = L[ℓ1\u0026rsquo;/ℓ1, ℓ2\u0026rsquo;/ℓ2] v\u0026rsquo; is obtained from v by first executing the update label given on e1 and then the update label given on e2. v\u0026rsquo; satisfies Inv(L\u0026rsquo;) Either ℓ1 or ℓ2 or both locations are committed, or no other location in L is committed. There is no action transition from (L, v) with a strictly higher priority. Broadcast Synchronisations Assume an order p1, p2, … pn of processes given by the order of the processes in the system declaration statement. We have a transition (L, v) −*→ (L\u0026rsquo;, v\u0026rsquo;) if there is an edge e=(ℓ,ℓ\u0026rsquo;) and m edges ei=(ℓi,ℓi\u0026rsquo;) for 1≤i≤m such that:\nEdges e, e1, e2, …, em are in different processes. e1, e2, …, em are ordered according to the process ordering p1, p2,… pn. e has a synchronisation label c! and e1, e2, …, em have synchronisation labels c?, where c is a broadcast channel. v satisfies the guards of e, e1, e2, … em. For all locations ℓ in L not a source of one of the edges e, e1, e2, … em, all edges from ℓ either do not have a synchronisation label c? or v does not satisfy the guard on the edge. L\u0026rsquo; = L[ℓ\u0026rsquo;/ℓ, ℓ1\u0026rsquo;/ℓ1, ℓ2\u0026rsquo;/ℓ2, … ℓm\u0026rsquo;/ℓm] v\u0026rsquo; is obtained from v by first executing the update label given on e and then the update labels given on ei for increasing order of i. v\u0026rsquo; satisfies Inv(L\u0026rsquo;) Either one or more of the locations ℓ, ℓ1, ℓ2, … ℓm are committed, or no other location in L is committed. There is no action transition from (L, v) with a strictly higher priority. Probabilistic Transitions In statistical model checking the concrete delay and transition are determined as follows:\nEach process chooses a delay based on its current location: If the current location invariant has a time bound, then the concrete delay is taken according uniform distribution up to that bound. Otherwise (the time invariant is absent) the delay is chosen by exponential distribution using the rate λ specified on the current location. The probability density function of delay d∈[0;∞) is F(d)=λe−λd, where e=2.718281828… and the concrete delay is generated by −ln(u)/λ where u is a uniform random number from (0;1] interval. The process with the shortest delay is chosen. If there are several such processes then a random one of these is chosen (according to uniform distribution). The shortest delay is executed and continuous variables are updated. The chosen process attempts to take a transition: Compute all enabled internal and sending edge-transitions. Pick the concrete edge according to uniform distribution. If the edge has probabilistic branches, then the probability of taking a branch i is determined by the ratio wi/W, where wi is the weight of the branch i and W is the sum of all branch weights: W=Σjwj. Statistical model checking has the following assumptions about the model:\nInput enableness (non-blocking inputs): Sending cannot be blocked, i.e. the channel is either broadcast or there is always one process with an enabled receiving edge-transition. Input determinism: There is exactly one enabled receiving edge-transition at a time. For binary synchronizations there is at most one receiving process at a time.

In a given symbolic state, the active locations and the values of discrete variables are the same for all states.\nSymbolic traces shown in the simulator are backward stable, but not forward stable:\n**Forward stable** Given two symbolic states A and B on a symbolic trace such that A is before B, every state in A can reach a state in B. **Backward stable** Given two symbolic states A and B on a symbolic trace such that A is before B, every state in B can be reached by a state in A.

Three modes for test case generation: Test purpose mode: Generates a test case specified by a reachability query An auto-depth mode: Generates tests automatically aiming at achieving edge/location coverage Single-step mode: Generates an individual test case per uncoverd edge. Visualization of coverage Determinism Test generator expects a deadlock free and mostly deterministic model.\nDeadlocks can be checked against in the Verifier tab using A[] not deadlock query.\nThere are no checks or reinforcements made for determinism. Non-deterministic implementation requirements (behavior not controlled by a test execution harness) may yield test-cases which cannot be executed in a controlled manner. For example, test execution harness might not be able to force the implementation under test to respond in a specific way assumed by a test case if the implementation is allowed to respond in multiple ways non-deterministically. The environment assumption model (edges controlled by the test execution harness) is encouraged to be non-deterministic to facilitate a more focused and flexible control when selecting test cases.\nBasic operation The buttons Add will generate traces based on the verification options selected in the Options menu where the search order and diagnostic trace options are overridden by the corresponding drop-down list selection.

First, Add the test cases representing the test purposes. These test are mandated anyway, and will cover some parts of the model, but this coverage is typically insufficient. Generate tests that improves the (edge/location) coverage of the model (but does not guarantee so). Second, Add the test cases using the auto-depth mode to improve the coverage. The coverage achieved by the second step can be completed by adding an individual test-case for each of these uncovered edges or locations.

On one hand this means that it contains all the new and exciting features of the next version of UPPAAL, but on the other it also means that it contains many new and untried features, that might change before the final release of UPPAAL. This page describes the new language features compared to the UPPAAL 4.0 series.\nCost Annotation In LPTA, an implicit continuous monotonic variable called cost is defined. The rate at which this variable grows can be specified in the location invariant as:\ncost\u0026rsquo; == INTEXPR\nwhere INTEXPR is an integer expression. If specified in multible locations, the actual cost rate is the sum of the cost rate specified in the current location of each process. The cost can be incremented on edges using the increment operator +=.\nHere is an example of the aircraft landing problem: xta, q.\nRemaining Cost Estimation The performance of UPPAAL CORA can be improved dramatically by annotating the model with an admissible estimate of the remaining cost to reach the goal condition. Admissible means that the estimate is not bigger than the actual cost of reaching the goal, i.e., the estimate provides a lower bound on the remaining cost. The estimate is specified by declaring a meta integer variable named remaining. Specifying a good value for remaining is crucial for good performance.\nIn previous versions of UPPAAL, remaining had to be a lower bound on the remaining cost from the state and all its delay successors, but this is no longer required. Now remaining must simply be a lower bound on the remaining cost. When computing a successor, UPPAAL automatically adjusts the value of remaining. Thus even when you do not recompute remaining, it will still be a lower bound of the remaining cost. You will probably be able to come up with a better lower bound on the remaining cost, so you should try compute a remaining cost yourself on each edge transition.\nCommand Line Options Below we describe the new options supported by the command line interface of UPPAAL (verifyta). Most of these options are also available from the options menu in the graphical frontend.\nGuiding A number of different search orders are supported.

The first two are well known from previous releases of UPPAAL. Random depth first search is similar to depth first search, but it randomises the order in which the successors of a state are searched. Smallest heur first requires the presence of an integer variable named heur in the model. The state with the smallest value of this variable is always explored next. In most cases, this variable should be a meta variable. Best first and best depth first are used for optimal reachability, see the next topic.\nOptimal Reachability UPPAAL CORA has support for finding optimal schedules. Optimality is defined in terms of a cost variable, see the Language Guide for details. The optimal trace can be found by using the -t3 option. With this option, UPPAAL CORA keeps searching until a trace to a goal state with the smallest value for the cost variable has been found. Alternatively you can use the -E option to find the optimal cost without generating the trace.\nUPPAAL CORA automatically enables the -o4 option (best first) when using the -t3 option. This can be changed by manually using a different -o option after the -t3 option. In the best first search order, the state with the smallest value of the cost variable is searched next. An alternative is to use best depth first. This search order performs a depth first search, but always searches the state with the lowest cost first. If a remaining cost estimate annotation is provided, the interpretation of the best first and best depth first is changed to search the state with the smallest sum of the cost variable and the remaining variable next.\nExamples The jugs example has been updated to the new syntax. You can download it here: jugs2.ta, jugs2.q. You can find the optimal solution like this:\nverifyta -E jugs2.ta jugs2.q\nLimitations UPPAAL CORA has a number of limitations. These limitations are not fundamental, but are a result of using new internal data structures with a currently limited feature set. Over time, these limitations will be resolved.\nNo extrapolation, hence termination is not guaranteed unless you guarantee that either: The system is acyclic. All clocks are bound by invariants. Simple reachability only: No liveness check No deadlock check Limited use of guiding: Support for (cost + remaining) sorting is implemented (best first search) Support for heuristic variable is implemented, but the expression cannot refer to the cost variable.

The graphical simulator determinizes the strategy and limits the game even though the underlying strategy is more permissive. When a sub-formula is inconsistent there is no strategy. If you want a strategy you need to ask for a consistency check on that sub-formula. If you use the quotient, you must add two locations to the processes, one Universal and one Inconsistent. The universal one must accept all inputs of that process and generate all outputs. This must match the signature of the component. The inconsistent location must be urgent without any transition at all. It is not possible to simulate the quotient in the simulator. This is a limitation inherent to the problem because this operator generates new states and transitions that do not have references in the original model, thus the graphical simulator will be lost. We suspect that it is possible to write models that may fool ECDAR by giving wrong answers. This may happen due to some issues with extrapolation. Please deactivate extrapolations and make sure that your model is bounded if you experience this.

The tool is still in early development and experimental phase, but now anyone can checkout and taste the early fruits on his/her own. The current version is based on the latest Uppaal 4.1. Current availability and limitations:\nSystem specification accepted in Uppaal xta and xml format. The interface is specified separately in adapter library code. Supported main Uppaal features: clocks, data variables, paired channel synchronizations, urgent locations. The use of arrays, broadcast channel, and committed locations are experimental and not tested. Input and output actions through channel handshake synchronization (no buffering or value passing). User supplied adapter loading via dynamic library interface. Adapter development framework (C++), interfaces are not completely stabilized yet. Examples of tool applications against C++ programs as IUT. Use Uppaal to create and edit models. TRON Tracer GUI demonstrates the main concepts: system model partitioning, interactive traces in testing, system emulation and monitoring. Graphical user interface is mounted on generic trace-interpreter-adapter (special IUT adapter library) and serves as generic example of how to connect/link to TRON. Stripped binary executable form of Uppaal TRON. No source code provided due to licensing restrictions. Binary is dynamically linked in order to provide efficient connectivity with user-supplied adapter. The tool is prepared on the following platforms: Windows 2000 Professional, GNU Compiler Collection 3.4.5 Linux 2.6.18 on Intel PC, GNU Compiler Collection 4.1.2\nLatest builds for Sun Solaris could also be provided upon request. It is important that the machine architecture should match and GCC-2 should not be mixed with GCC-3. The same holds for GCC-4. Please report your experiences. User Manual You may want to read an early draft of user-manual (still under development, comments are welcome).\nTesting Runtime Command Line Options TRON binary is based on verifyta utility from Uppaal, hence there are a few options available to tune the Uppaal engine too. I will explain only TRON specific ones and some of verifyta that might effect testing. The following is printed on screen when TRON is run in command line:\n./tron -h Usage: tron [options] -I adapter model.xml [-- parameters to adapter] Options: -A Use convex-hull approximation.

Environment variables: UPPAAL_DISABLE_SWEEPLINE disable sweepline method UPPAAL_DISABLE_OPTIMISER disable peephole optimiser UPPAAL_OLD_SYNTAX use version 3.4 syntax The value of these variables does not matter. Defining them is enough to activate the feature in question. Here is a more detailed description of testing specific options:\n-I filename specifies the adapter to connect to IUT. It is either the name of a built-in adapter (such as TraceAdapter and SocketAdapter) or the filename of dynamically loaded C-library. See Building Test Adapter on how to make one.\n-D filename specifies where the output of the Driver (component that time-stamps input and output events) should be redirected to. The EBNF of the output is the following:\nDriverLog ::= ( line **EOL** )* line ::= timestamp | event timestamp ::= **\"delay\"** integer event ::= channelname **\"(\"** paramlist **\")\"** paramlist ::= | integer ( **\",\"** integer )* The timestamp line means that the system has delayed until the specified absolute time moment in microseconds counting from the beginning of testing. The event line means an input or an output event observation at the last delay timestamp in the driver. The specific input or output nature is specified by channel name and the bounded variable integer values.\n-S filename specifies where the verdict information should be saved (usually used for gathering Statistics of many TRON runs). If specified, each line of the file will consist of five elements: 1) integer for random seed used (see -X) 2) verdict 3) number of inputs 4) number of outputs 5) time used in model time units.\n-v \u0026lt;0+1+2+4+8+16\u0026gt; specifies what testing information should be visible on the output by bit-flags:\n1 progress indicator, useful in interactive command-line when no other testing information is specified; 2 events applied in Uppaal engine (mainly for debugging); 4 choices considered when emulating the environment; 8 makes a copy of the current state set before applying delay and output events, this enables some diagnostic information when test verdict is failed or inconclusive but also costs a bit of additional memory; 16 shows the current reachable state set before each update.The numbers above should be added and final integer result used in -v option. For example, for progress indicator (1) and diagnostic information (8) one should use -v 9 as 1+8=9. -o filename redirects the testing information (specified by -v) to the file rather than standard output stream.\n-H n specifies the size of hash table in Uppaal engine for detecting loops in passed list states (as in verifyta), the size in testing can be much smaller as the TRON considers only the current reachable state set which is much smaller than the whole state space of the system (as in verification process);\n-F future specifies the future input event horizon for environment emulation in model time units, the further horizon the more TRON should pre-compute into the future when choosing input event; the value should be as large as possible for richer input choices but small enough for TRON to be able to compute respond within 1 model time unit; the default is 1 model time unit (disabling it with 0 is not recommended);\n-P delay constrains the choice of delay by the following heuristics:\nrandom the choice is based on available delays in the model and concrete delay is chosen by pseudo-random number generator; if delays are not bounded by invariant TRON may choose very large delays and hence appear idle for very long time; lazy the choice is based on available delays in the model and concrete delay is taken by choosing the longest possible; TRON may delay for very long if constraints (invariants) allow it; eager the choice is based on available delays in the model and concrete delay is taken by choosing the shortest delay possible; short,long are integers and specify the longest delay choice for short and long delay. The concrete delay is then chosen randomly based on the model and longest possible delay. The choice of a short or a long delay is random; -w integer prolongs the model delay by specified number of model time units possibly breaking the invariants in the model; it was created as a workaround for proper IUT and environment invariant separation to be able to test the IUT invariants under assumption that the environment model did not contain any invariants; today correct partitioning (see Test Interface Specification) of the system model is recommended instead of this option;\n-u inpDelay,inpRes,outDelay,outRes see Observation Uncertainties for explanation.\n-Q log specifies that virtual time framework should be used rather than host machine\u0026rsquo;s clock, string log can also be replaced by an integer meaning the port number for external virtual clock users, see Virtual Time for more details;\n-X integer specifies the value of random seed for the random number generator which drives the environment emulation choices; it could be useful to attempt to replicate an identical test run although it is very hard to ensure the same flow of time and event interleaving;\n-i \u0026lt;dot|gui\u0026gt; generates the signal flow of the system model in graphviz format; when specified, TRON expects the input/output interface to be fed into standard input stream in the following EBNF format:\nTIS ::= inputs outputs precision timeout inputs ::= **\"input\"** channels **\";\"** outputs ::= **\"output\"** channels **\";\"** precision ::= **\"precision\"** integer **\";\"** timeout ::= **\"timeout\"** integer **\";\"** channels ::= | channel ( **\",\"** channel )* **\";\"** channel ::= channelname **\"(\"** variables **\")\"** variables ::= | variablename ( **\",\"** variablename)* See also Test Interface Specification. When -i is specified, -v option has a different special meaning:\n-v \u0026lt;0|1|2|3\u0026gt; specifies what information is produced in partitioning (-i) mode: 0 \u0026ndash; silent, no errors are shown, 1 - only errors are shown, 2 - warnings are shown, 3 - errors, warnings and rules being applied are shown.

Lines 3-4 contain copyright information. Lines 5-11 show the state of Uppaal engine and TRON options. Line 12 says that TRON is using non-real-time process scheduler which is used for all virtual time runs. In real time mode TRON will attempt to gain high priority and select real-time round-robin scheduler if possible (available and enough permissions given), which would minimize the scheduling disturbances from other processes. Lines 13-14 show that TRON attempted socket connection (to IUT) but failed and it will retry doing so for 9 times with 2 second intervals. Lines 15-19 show the model partitioning and testing interface information: environment consists of just user process (user invariants will be considered when offering input), model time unit is interpreted as 10000 microseconds, and 1000000 model time units are allocated for testing.\nThe messages are typical from TRON standard output stream when bit-flag 2 is selected in -v option:\n1.

TEST: delay to [1175.. on 13 Lines 20, 26-27, 29-30 mean that TRON has chosen a delay and nothing happened until it has expired, for example line 20 says that TRON is applying a delay on a current state set to the moment of 245 model time units on a single (1) state in a set, the upper bound of a delay is open and bounded only by future horizon (see -F). Line 21 says that TRON is applying the input event on channel grasp it has just executed at time interval 1225896-1225940 microseconds which is mapped to model time interval [245..246) in Uppaal constraint encoding. The encoding [245..246) means a model time interval (122,123) as 245/2=122.5 (remainder shows that the constraint is strict, i.e. \u0026gt;122, and the point 122mtu is not included) and 246/2=123 which is strict as \u0026ldquo;)\u0026rdquo; in the log. The same mapping and encoding procedure applies to outputs on lines 22-25 which show that output events on channel level have variable values attached (0, 1, 2 and 3). The output is time-stamped right after it is registered in the driver. The inputs are time-stamped with two time-stamps: just before offering an input and right after the input is offered, to reflect an over-approximation and uncertainty on when exactly it was actually delivered at (remote) IUT.\nVerdict Assignment and Diagnostics At the end of testing TRON will issue a verdict, which is either PASSED, INCONCLUSIVE or FAILED. PASSED means that the timeout for testing has expired and no faulty behavior has been detected. Test may fail with verdict FAILED if IUT exposes the behavior which could not be mapped in the model of IUT, i.e. if IUT reported wrong output at wrong time (too early or too late) or IUT did not respond at all when it was required to respond with some output. In case of INCONCLUSIVE verdict, TRON is either 1) confused with the output observed from IUT, cannot map this output to the model of environment and hence does not know how to continue testing or 2) late for delivering an input in time as required by the model of environment. The second option can be very frequent on heavily loaded machines, broken schedulers (Windows tend to issue spurious timeouts even if timeout did not expire) while testing in real time using the host machine\u0026rsquo;s clock. Also it is still not clear how to handle situations when TRON and IUT rely on different clocks which drift away from each other, hence we rely on assumption that TRON is operating on a correct (reference) clock.\nTRON can also provide additional information on why the test ended up with verdict FAILED or INCONCLUSIVE if the bit-flag 8 is specified on -v option. The following is a typical output of such diagnostic information:\n1. Short post-mortem analysis based on last good stateSet(3): 2. 1) 3.

AdapterConnection died: socket closed upon read Line 31 says the following analysis is based only on the last good state (might be inaccurate if fault happened much earlier than observed) consisting of 3 symbolic states.

Lines 44-47 reiterates what options TRON was facing just before test has terminated: line 44 says that there could be no inputs offered, line 45 says that according to model the output level is expected at model time interval (5937,5947) (as 11875/2=5937.5 and 11894/2=5947 in Uppaal encoding), line 46 enumerates internal transitions available in the model, line 47 specifies the longest possible delay until 6885mtu without observable input/output. Line 48 says that TRON was trying to compute the reachable symbolic state set for the interval (5993,5995), but according to line 49 it could not, as the resulting symbolic state set contained no states. Line 50 notes that there was level(7) output expected at (5937,5947) therefore the conclusion in line 51 is that IUT failed to produce output (in required time). Lines 52-53 show how long test was running and how much left to testing timeout in model time units and seconds. Line 54 shows the random seed used to start the pseudo-random number generator (see -X option). Line 55 contains spurious exception upon disposing SocketAdapter which can be safely ignored.\nAs of version 1.4 be aware of bug 369 in diagnosis.\nAdaptation In this section we are going to show the adaptation process for TRON framework. We are going to use the smart lamp light controller example to highlight the supported features and to show how to use them.\nModel Specification TRON supports abstract requirement models in a sense that implementation under test (IUT) does not necessarily have to follow the structure of the model. User should use Uppaal to specify requirements by creating a timed automata model of the whole (closed) system, i.e. the model should contain requirements for the IUT and also the assumptions about its environment (user). The processes in Uppaal timed automata network communicate via channels. Every channel synchronization is an instantaneous event in the system, taking zero time as any other transition. So the simplest closed system suitable for testing using TRON consists of at least two communicating processes: IUT process and environment process. In this simple system the input event is fired whenever environment process shouts at some channel and IUT receives the channel synchronization, the output happens in the same manner but opposite direction.\nThe model of environment can be as simple as one process containing one location with a synchronized transition loop for each input/output channel synchronization. Such environment would test the most of IUT features/requirements as it is fully permissive, however this might be too expensive and unrealistic, especially if environment assumptions can be stated more precisely, e.g. modeling some case of system usage. It is important that environment is input enabled, i.e. it is able to consume any possible output produced by IUT, otherwise TRON will issue verdict \u0026ldquo;inconclusive\u0026rdquo; in case the received output event cannot be applied to environment.\nIn a more complex system the IUT (and environment) requirements may be modelled by many processes. In this case the system is partitioned into two sets of processes: the processes modelling the requirements for IUT (model of IUT) typically mimicking what the IUT should do and the processes for the environment assumptions (model of environment) mimicking what the tester should do. The IUT (environment) processes may communicate among themselves by channel synchronizations too, but such communication is treated as internal and not observable. The channel synchronization is treated as observable input/output event if and only if it is between the environment and IUT processes.\nAs noted before, the channel synchronization is an instantaneous event in timed automata network, hence the communication between the environment and the IUT is also treated as instantaneous. However real-time black-box testing is also a kind of remote testing, where the inputs/outputs are fed at one time instance and received slightly later as there is at least small communication delay. Even the slightest delay of electronic signal running short distance at a speed of light is significant as it might imply a different input and output event interleaving and hence a different outcome. The communication delay is especially significant on soft-real-time operating systems (such as Windows and Linux) where the process scheduling is a major contributor but is hardly predictable (Linux scheduler tries hard to be at most 10ms late and 2.6 branch usually fits into 1ms delay under low load conditions, see Latency Experiments). Currently TRON time-stamps the input and output events when they arrive/leave TRON process, hence the model of IUT should also include the processes of adapter proxying and slightly delaying the actual input and output to reflect such communication reality. The model of adapter also helps to make sure that the model of IUT is input enabled, i.e. IUT cannot refuse to accept the offered input, which might be important in testing features that are triggered only by that particular input (and time). TRON will not try to offer an input if the model of IUT is not able to consume it.\nThe model of the system should be validated in the Uppaal symbolic simulator to make sure the model reflects an intended system behavior and the verifier should be used to check at least that model does not contain deadlocks (\u0026ldquo;A[] not deadlock\u0026rdquo; must be satisfied). In extreme cases where system state space is too large and cannot be verified (e.g. adapter processes involve queueing of input/output events and hence blowup the state space), a more abstract version of the model should be verified. TRON might issue verdict \u0026ldquo;inconclusive\u0026rdquo; or \u0026ldquo;failed\u0026rdquo; if it runs into deadlock situation and/or give unreliable \u0026ldquo;last good state set\u0026rdquo; diagnostic information if deadlock is present but was avoided by taking other transitions.\nExample. Consider the smart lamp demo with the following model of the system: LightContr.xml (you are encouraged to load it into Uppaal). I will use the signal flow diagram LightContr.png to demonstrate how processes in this system communicate (see Test Interface Specification to produce signal flows of your own). The legend of this signal flow diagram is as follows: ellipse means process, rectangle means integer variable, diamond means channel, arrows indicate the flow of signal, i.e. process transmit on given channel if arrow is from ellipse to diamond, process receives on given channel if arrow is from diamond to ellipse, variable is being written by process if arrow points from ellipse to rectangle and variable is being read if arrow is from rectangle to ellipse. The labels on arrows indicate the channel synchronization when variable is accessed, dash means silent (internal) access without channel synchronization. TRON uses the observable input/output channel (double diamonds) declaration (see Test Interface Specification) to partition the system into the model of environment (light green items) and the model of IUT (light blue items). In this example, environment consists of user process communicating through input channels grasp and release and output channel level. The requirements for IUT are modeled by interface, dimmer and switch processes. The communication delay is modeled by levelAdapter, releaseAdapter and graspAdapter processes.\nTest Interface Specification Test interface is a set of observable input and output channels possibly with integer variables values bound to channel. Observable input and output channels define how the system model is partitioned into the model of IUT and the model of environment. The correct system partitioning is important in order to ensure correct verdict computation by using relativized timed input/output conformance relation (which means identifying and special treatment of IUT invariants which might interact with environment model as invariants are global in Uppaal semantics). The idea of correct partitioning is a complete and consistent separation of environment model and IUT model by inspecting the following control rules:\nChannels, that are not declared as inputs/outputs, are non-observable called internal. Internal channel belongs to environment (IUT) if it is used by environment (IUT) process (respectively). Model is inconsistent and cannot be partitioned if the internal channel is used by both environment and IUT. Process belongs to environment (IUT) if it uses the internal environment (IUT) channel (respectively). Variable belongs to environment (IUT) if it is accessed by environment (IUT) process without observable input/output channel synchronization. Variable is not cathegorized (can be either) if accessed consistently only during observable input/output channel synchronization. Process belongs to environment (IUT) if accesses environment (IUT) variable (respectively) without observable channel synchronization. It might be tricky to get complete and consistent (all processes are assigned to either IUT or environment) partitioning. Currently the adapter API is the only way to specify the test interface. The easiest way to experiment with test interface and partitioning is by generating signal flow diagram of the system. The signal flow diagram in graphviz format can be obtained from TRON standard output with -i dot option on specific Uppaal model and entering the test interface information via standard input in the following tiny EBNF grammar (terminals are quoted in bold, this grammar is also used in TraceAdapter):\nTIS ::= inputs outputs precision timeout inputs ::= **\"input\"** channels **\";\"** outputs ::= **\"output\"** channels **\";\"** precision ::= **\"precision\"** integer **\";\"** timeout ::= **\"timeout\"** integer **\";\"** channels ::= | channel ( **\",\"** channel )* **\";\"** channel ::= channelname **\"(\"** variables **\")\"** variables ::= | variablename ( **\",\"** variablename )* Here, the precision specifies the duration of one model time unit (mtu) in microseconds and timeout specifies how many model time units is allocated for testing. Upon success TRON will terminate with verdict \u0026ldquo;passed\u0026rdquo; when precision × timeout microseconds elapse and no fault is found.\nExample. The following command lines produce signal flow in graphviz format which is further laid-out onto the PNG picture format by dot utility, the third line does it all in one:\ntron -i dot [LightContr.xml](LightContr.xml) \u003c [LightContr.trn](LightContr.trn) \u003e [LightContr.dot](LightContr.dot) dot -Tpng -o [LightContr.png](LightContr.png) [LightContr.dot](LightContr.dot) tron -i dot [LightContr.xml](LightContr.xml) \u003c [LightContr.trn](LightContr.trn) | dot -Tpng -o [LightContr.png](LightContr.png) Note that TRON also adds a few constraints for the graph layout in dot file, in particular it specifies landscape A4 paper, which is handy for -Teps option but might not be good for some larger models.\nIf partitioning is not complete (some process, variable or channel is assigned to neither IUT nor environment) or inconsistent (according to rules some item is assigned to both IUT and environment) then TRON will write complains and warnings to the standard error stream. The verbosity of partitioning messages is controlled by -v option: -v 0 \u0026ndash; none, -v 1 \u0026ndash; errors, -v 2 \u0026ndash; warnings, -v 3 \u0026ndash; diagnostics. The diagnostic messages will show how TRON is trying to partition the processes, variables and channels by iteratively applying the control rules. It is also recommended to check the separation in the output stream from TRON once the test interface is specified during testing.\nCurrently (as of version 1.4 Beta 2) the variable usage in C-code functions is not analyzed, hence partitioning might work incorrectly. Also observable broadcast channels should be used with caution (IUT/environment cannot send and receive at the same time on observable broadcast channel). The source code for signal flow static analysis and partitioning will probably be available in the next release of UTAP library.\nObservation Uncertainties TRON is applying observable input and output events by the following algorithm: 1) time-stamp the event with the host machine clock, 2) convert to a model time representation in floating point number form 3) find the closest integers to the given floating point number 4) apply input/output event to the model state space as if it happened between the closest integers time points. Observation uncertainty is a tweak for such time-stamping scheme, which expands and shifts the time-stamping interval: the output event is expanded to the direction of past (as if it happened earlier than observed), the input event is expanded to the direction of future (as if it will happen later than it is actually sent). The observation uncertainty was an early idea to reduce state space explosion due to adapter models and still be able to handle the communication and scheduling latency.\nThe observation time uncertainty can be specified by -u option, see the output of tron -h. The parameters inpDelay and outDelay control how many microseconds the event time window is shifted and parameters inpRes and outRes specify how many microseconds the window is be expanded, which potentially might touch or cover a next time unit(s). Current implementation (1.4 Beta 2) does not treat the time-stamp shifts correctly as it is required to create a hole in a state space between possible outputs in the past and possible inputs, hence requires a more complicated state exploration algorithm. Values other than 0 for inpDelay and outDelay are not recommended. The values for inpRes and outRes should reflect the scheduling and communication latency, e.g. allow about 3000-4000 microseconds on Linux-2.6 (may vary on different machines).\nObservation uncertainty is relevant only in testing in real world time and is irrelevant in virtual time.\nBuilding Test Adapter Normally, when TRON process is launched for testing the following happens:\nTRON parses and sets the command line options TRON looks for Uppaal timed automata model and loads it. TRON looks for adapter specified and attempts to create it via constructor call by passing a reporter object handle. Adapter constructor establishes connection to IUT (possibly launching another IUT process/thread, or simply connecting to remote IUT process). Adapter constructor configures the testing interface by declaring observable input/output channels, binding needed variables, sets the precision and the timeout for testing and returns the adapter handle to TRON. TRON statically analyzes the model and partitions the system into IUT and environment. TRON calls adapter.start() routine to indicate that no problems were found, adapter should finish any initializations and testing begins from the moment thread returns to TRON. Further input and output communication is asynchronous in a sense that IUT should use its own thread to report outputs to the reporter (which in turn will time-stamp and queue it) and TRON will call the method to register input (IUT is expected to add input to its input queue, notify its thread and return as soon as possible). Caution: adapter interface may deadlock if the same input-offering-thread (from TRON) is used by adapter to report the output from IUT. It is also important to release the lock on input queue (if any) in IUT adapter when reporting outputs to allow TRON to offer input while the output is being reported. After test is finished (via timeout or failure), TRON calls the adapter destructor to disconnect from IUT, cleanup and release all the resources. Currently there are a few different adapter examples available as reference implementations, depending on platform and adapter method the actual action names may differ:\nTextual communication via standard I/O adapter (virtual time recommended). See source code using TraceAdapter in tracer directory under GNU environment (requires bash, GNU make, use Cygwin if on Windows). TraceAdapter uses the ANTLR lexer and parser to read the standard input stream (see how \u0026ldquo;make testsuite\u0026rdquo; example works for example traces accepted by TraceAdapter, it\u0026rsquo;s even possible for human to interact with TRON). TCP/IP socket adapter for remote IUTs (both: virtual and real time). See Java source code of smart-lamp using SocketAdapter in java directory, java-doc. Remote adapter implementation in C/C++ can also be provided upon a request. Microsoft Visual C library adapter example (currently only real time). See source code of mouse button example in MSVC directory. GNU C library adapter example on Unix (both: virtual and real time). See source code of mouse button example in button directory. Virtual Time Much of real-time control software concerns mainly correct timing and functional behavior and time spent on computation is negligible or predictable. TRON\u0026rsquo;s virtual time framework offers a possibility to test a real-time application in laboratory conditions where time flow is controlled, i.e. time is allowed to flow when all processes are explicitly waiting and is stopped when at least process is busy computing. Virtual time framework has an advantage that otherwise inherent latencies (OS scheduling, communication) are removed.\nThe idea is based on a concept of monitor, where mutex locking and unlocking wrap a negligible amount of atomic computations and temporary mutex release by waiting on conditional variable reflects the process\u0026rsquo; intent to delay and wait for a specific condition.\nBy default TRON assumes host machine\u0026rsquo;s real time clock and virtual time clock can be turned on by option -Q log which also opens a server socket on port 6521 to serve any remote request for virtual clock. User can also change the port number to 1234 by using option -Q 1234 instead, just make sure that remote IUT will also use the same port number. Reference Java client implementation of remote virtual time clock can be found in java/tron/VirtualThread.java file.\nPOSIX C Example POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface for uniX) way of creating a monitors is by using pthread_mutex_lock, pthread_mutex_unlock, pthread_cond_wait and pthread_cond_timedwait functions (see their manual pages e.g. on your Linux distribution). TRON binary (on Linux) exports the following substitute functions which call the OS\u0026rsquo;s POSIX layer when testing in real time and uses virtual TRON\u0026rsquo;s clock when testing in virtual time:\ntron_thread_create instead of pthread_create tron_mutex_init instead of pthread_mutex_init tron_mutex_destroy instead of pthread_mutex_destroy tron_mutex_lock instead of pthread_mutex_lock tron_mutex_unlock instead of pthread_mutex_unlock tron_cond_init instead of pthread_cond_init tron_cond_destroy instead of pthread_cond_destroy tron_cond_wait instead of pthread_cond_wait tron_cond_timedwait instead of pthread_cond_timedwait tron_cond_signal instead of pthread_cond_signal tron_cond_broadcast instead of pthread_cond_broadcast tron_gettime instead of gettimeofday There are also functions to temporarily remove the current running thread from virtual time accounting and put it back to the pool of virtual time threads: tron_thread_deactivate and tron_thread_activate. These functions are not normally used, and exist only to simplify design of remote adapters like SocketAdapter.\nJava Example Example in java directory provides tron.VirtualLock class for controlling the state of (potentially remote) lock and creating tron.VirtualCondition variables. TRON\u0026rsquo;s monitor paradigm is very similar to Java\u0026rsquo;s synchronized methods, except that all participating threads should be created via tron.VirtualThread object, locking, unlocking, waits and notifications (signals) should be done explicitly on corresponding VirtualLock and VirtualCondition objects.

    Semantics of the Symbolic Queries

    In the following we give a pseudo-formal semantics for the requirement specification language of UPPAAL. We assume the existence of a timed transition system (S, s0, →) as defined in the semantics of UPPAAL timed automata. In the following, p and q are state properties for which we define the following temporal properties:

    See also Syntax of Symbolic Queries.

    Possibly

    The property E<> p evaluates to true for a timed transition system if and only if there is a sequence of delay and action transitions s0 → s1 → … → sn, where s0 is the initial state and sn satisfies p.

    Invariantly

    The property A[] p evaluates to true if (and only if) every reachable state satisfy p.

    An invariantly property A[] p can be expressed as the possibly property not E<> not p.

    Potentially always

    The property E[] p evaluates to true for a timed transition system if and only if there is a sequence of delay and action transitions s0 → s1 → … → si → … for which p holds in all states si and which either:

    • is infinite, or
    • ends in a state (Ln, vn) such that either
      • for all d: (Ln, vn+d) satisfies p and Inv(Ln), or
      • there is no outgoing transition from (Ln, vn)

    Eventually

    The property A<> p evaluates to true if (and only if) all possible transition sequences eventually reaches a state satisfying p.

    An eventually property A<> p can be expressed as the potentially property not E[] not p.

    Leads To

    The syntax p --> q denotes a leads to property meaning that whenever p holds eventually q will hold as well. Since UPPAAL uses timed automata as the input model, this has to be interpreted not only over action transitions but also over delay transitions.

    A leads to property p --> q can be expressed as the property A[] (p imply A<> q) (note that the leads-to property is a special case and in general nested quantifiers are not supported).

    State Properties

    Any side-effect free expression is a valid state property. In addition it is possible to test whether a process is in a particular location and whether a state is a deadlock. State proprerties are evaluated for the initial state and after each transition. This means for example that a property A[] i != 1 might be satisfied even if the value of i becomes 1 momentarily during the evaluation of initializers or update-expressions on edges.

    Locations

    Expressions on the form P.ℓ, where P is a process and ℓ is a location, evaluate to true in a state (L, v) if and only if P.ℓ is in L.

    Deadlocks

    The state property deadlock evaluates to true for a state (L, v) if and only if for all d ≥ 0 there is no action successor of (L, v + d).

    Property Equivalences

    LocalGameTimeLimitExpression
    describes an additional time limit such that the game can be won within GameTimeLimitExpression - LocalGameTimeLimitExpression time units. This expression is evaluated in each state, and can therefore depend on state or clock constraints. Must be side-effect free.

    Examples

    control: E<> goal
    compute a strategy where goal state predicate is eventually true no matter what the oponent/environment chooses to do. The resulting strategy is deterministic in a sense that for a given state the strategy proposes one action for the player/controller (while the oponent/environment may still choose from multiple actions).
    control: A[] safe
    compute a strategy where safe state predicate is always true no matter what the opponent/environment chooses to do. The strategy is permissive in a sense that for a given state the strategy may propose multiple actions for the player/controller. Such permissive strategy can be thought of as a union of all strategies satisfying the predicate, therefore it does not have any notion of progress and may include infinite loops.
    A[ safe U goal ]
    computes a safety strategy but only up until the goal is reached.
    A[ safe W goal ]
    (weakly until the goal) either a safety strategy is found or a safety strategy holds until the goal is reached.

    See also Strategy Queries below on how to store and query the properties of the computed strategies.

    Examples

    simulate [<=10] { x }
    creates one stochastic simulation run of up to 10 time units in length and plot the values of x expression over time (after checking, right-click the query and choose a plot).
    simulate [c<=10] { x, y+z }
    creates one simulation run of up to 10 cost units in terms of clock variable c and plot the values of x and y+z expressions over the cost c.
    simulate [#<=10] { x, y+z }
    creates one simulation run of up to 10 edge-transitions and plot the values of x and y+z expressions over the discrete simulation steps (edge-transitions).
    simulate [<=10; 100] { x, y+z } : 2 : goal
    selects up to 2 simulation runs from 100 simulations of up to 10 time units in length, which satisfy goal state predicate, and then plot the values of expressions x and y+z over time. The query will also estimate a probability confidense interval of the expression goal being true just like in Pr query. The confidence level is controlled by α-level of significance in the Statistical parameters.
    Pr[<=10](<> good)
    runs a number of stochastic simulations and estimates the probability of good eventually becoming true within 10 time units. The number of runs is decided based on the probability interval precision (±ε) and confidence level (level of significance α in Statistical parameters), see Confidence Intervals for details. The query also computes a probability distribution over time when the predicate good is satisfied (right-click the property and choose a plot).
    Pr[c<=10; 100]([] safe)
    runs 100 stochastic simulations and estimates the probability of safe remaining true within 10 cost units in terms of clock c.
    Pr[<=10](<> good) >= 0.5
    checks if the probability of reaching good within 10 time units is greater than 50%. Such query uses Wald’s algorithm to decide the probability inequality and requires fewer runs than probability estimation and explicit comparison. Uses -δ, +δ, α and β Statistical parameters.
    Pr[<=10](<> best) >= Pr[<=10](<> good)
    checks if the probability of reaching best is greater than reaching good within 10 time units. Such query uses a sequential algorithm to decide the probability inequality and requires fewer runs than probability estimation and explicit comparison. Uses -δ, +δ, u0, u1, α and β Statistical parameters. The query also provides a probability comparison plot over time/cost (right-click the query and choose plot).
    E[<=10; 100](max: cost)
    estimates the maximal value of cost expression over 10 time units of stochastic simulation. Uses 100 stochastic simulations and assumes that the value follows Student’s t-distribution with 1-α confidence level.

    The plots can be super-imposed using the Plot Composer from the Tools menu.

    Parameters

    Templates and functions are parameterised. The syntax for parameters is defined by the grammar for Parameters:

    Parameters ::= [ Parameter (',' Parameter)* ]
 Parameter  ::= [Type] [ '&' ] [ID] [ArrayDecl]*

    In contrast to global and local declarations, the parameter list should not be terminated by a semicolon.

    Call by Reference and Call by Value

    Parameters can be declared to have either call-by-value or call-by-reference semantics. The syntax is taken from C++, where the identifier of a call-by-reference parameter is prefixed with an ampersand in the parameter declaration. Call-by-value parameters are not prefixed with an ampersand.

    Clocks and channels must always be reference parameters.

    Note: Array parameters must be prefixed with an ampersand to be passed by reference, this does not follow the C semantics.

    Examples

    P(clock &x, bool bit)
    process template P has two parameters: the clock x and the boolean variable bit.
    Q(clock &x, clock &y, int i1, int &i2, chan &a, chan &b)
    process template Q has six parameters: two clocks, two integer variables (with default range), and two channels. All parameters except i1 are reference parameters.

    The scope rules determine which element a name refers to in a given context. The context is either local (to a process template), or global (in a system description).

    In a local context, the names are always referring to local declarations or formal parameters (if the name is locally defined), otherwise to a globally declared name.

    In the global context, a name is always referring to a global declaration.

    Note: There is only one name space in each context. This means that in each context all declared clocks, integer variables, constants, locations, and formal paramters must have unique names. However, local names may shadow globally declared names.

    Semantics

    In the following we give a pseudo-formal semantics for UPPAAL. The semantics defines a timed transition system (S, s0, →) describing the behaviour of a network of extended timed automata. The set of states S is defined as {(L, v) | v ⊨ Inv(L)}, where L is a location vector, v is a function (called a valuation) mapping integer variables and clocks to their values, and Inv is a function mapping locations and location vectors to invariants. The initial state s0 is the state where all processes are in the initial location, all variables have their initial value, and all clocks are zero. The transition relation, →, contains two kinds of transitions: delay transitions and action transitions. We will describe each type below.

    Given a valuation v and an expression e, we say that v satisfies e if e evaluates to non-zero for the given valuation v.

    Invalid Evaluations

    If during a successor computation any expression evaluation is invalid (consult the section on expressions for further details about invalid evaluations), the verification is aborted.

    Delay Transitions

    Delay transitions model the passing of time without changing the current location. We have a delay transition (L, v) −d→ (L, v’), where d is a non-negative real, if and only if:

    • v’ = v+d, where v+d is obtained by incrementing all clocks with d.
    • for all 0 ≤ d’ ≤ d: v+d’ ⊨ Inv(L)
    • L contains neither committed nor urgent locations
    • for all locations ℓ in L and for all locations ℓ’ (not necessarily in L), if there is an edge from ℓ to ℓ’ then either:
      • this edge does not synchronise over an urgent channel, or
      • this edge does synchronise over an urgent channel, but for all 0 ≤ d’ ≤ d we have that v+d’ does not satisfy the guard of the edge.

    Action Transitions

    For action transtions, the synchronisation label of edges is important. Since UPPAAL supports arrays of channels, we have that the label contains an expression evaluating to a channel. The concrete channel depends on the current valuation. To avoid cluttering the semantics we make the simplifying assumption that each synchronisation label refers to a channel directly.

    Priorities increase the determinism of a system by letting a high priority action transition block a lower priority action transition. Note that delay transitions can never be blocked, and no action transition can be blocked by a delay transition.

    For action transitions, there are three cases: Internal transitions, binary synchronisations and broadcast synchronisations. Each will be described in the following.

    Internal Transitions

    We have a transition (L, v) −*→ (L’, v’) if there is an edge e=(ℓ,ℓ’) such that:

    • there is no synchronisation label on e
    • v satisfies the guard of e
    • L’ = L[ℓ’/ℓ]
    • v’ is obtained from v by executing the update label given on e
    • v’ satisfies Inv(L’)
    • Either ℓ is committed or no other location in L is committed.
    • There is no action transition from (L, v) with a strictly higher priority.

    Binary Synchronisations

    We have a transition (L, v) −*→ (L’, v’) if there are two edges e1=(ℓ1,ℓ1’) and e2=(ℓ2,ℓ2’) in two different processes such that:

    • e1 has a synchronisation label c! and e2 has a synchronisation label c?, where c is a binary channel.
    • v satisfies the guards of e1 and e2.
    • L’ = L[ℓ1’/ℓ1, ℓ2’/ℓ2]
    • v’ is obtained from v by first executing the update label given on e1 and then the update label given on e2.
    • v’ satisfies Inv(L’)
    • Either
      • ℓ1 or ℓ2 or both locations are committed, or
      • no other location in L is committed.
    • There is no action transition from (L, v) with a strictly higher priority.

    Broadcast Synchronisations

    Assume an order p1, p2, … pn of processes given by the order of the processes in the system declaration statement. We have a transition (L, v) −*→ (L’, v’) if there is an edge e=(ℓ,ℓ’) and m edges ei=(ℓi,ℓi’) for 1≤i≤m such that:

    • Edges e, e1, e2, …, em are in different processes.
    • e1, e2, …, em are ordered according to the process ordering p1, p2,… pn.
    • e has a synchronisation label c! and e1, e2, …, em have synchronisation labels c?, where c is a broadcast channel.
    • v satisfies the guards of e, e1, e2, … em.
    • For all locations ℓ in L not a source of one of the edges e, e1, e2, … em, all edges from ℓ either do not have a synchronisation label c? or v does not satisfy the guard on the edge.
    • L’ = L[ℓ’/ℓ, ℓ1’/ℓ1, ℓ2’/ℓ2, … ℓm’/ℓm]
    • v’ is obtained from v by first executing the update label given on e and then the update labels given on ei for increasing order of i.
    • v’ satisfies Inv(L’)
    • Either
      • one or more of the locations ℓ, ℓ1, ℓ2, … ℓm are committed, or
      • no other location in L is committed.
    • There is no action transition from (L, v) with a strictly higher priority.

    Probabilistic Transitions

    In statistical model checking the concrete delay and transition are determined as follows:

    1. Each process chooses a delay based on its current location:
      • If the current location invariant has a time bound, then the concrete delay is taken according uniform distribution up to that bound.
      • Otherwise (the time invariant is absent) the delay is chosen by exponential distribution using the rate λ specified on the current location. The probability density function of delay d∈[0;∞) is F(d)=λe−λd, where e=2.718281828… and the concrete delay is generated by −ln(u)/λ where u is a uniform random number from (0;1] interval.
    2. The process with the shortest delay is chosen. If there are several such processes then a random one of these is chosen (according to uniform distribution).
    3. The shortest delay is executed and continuous variables are updated.
    4. The chosen process attempts to take a transition:
      • Compute all enabled internal and sending edge-transitions.
      • Pick the concrete edge according to uniform distribution.
      • If the edge has probabilistic branches, then the probability of taking a branch i is determined by the ratio wi/W, where wi is the weight of the branch i and W is the sum of all branch weights: W=Σjwj.

    Statistical model checking has the following assumptions about the model:

    Input enableness (non-blocking inputs):
    Sending cannot be blocked, i.e. the channel is either broadcast or there is always one process with an enabled receiving edge-transition.
    Input determinism:
    There is exactly one enabled receiving edge-transition at a time. For binary synchronizations there is at most one receiving process at a time.

    Templates

    UPPAAL provides a rich language for defining templates in the form of extended timed automata. In contrast to classical timed automata, timed automata in UPPAAL can use a rich expression language to test and update clock, variables, record types, call user defined functions, etc.

    The automaton of a template consist of Locations and edges. A template may also have local declarations and parameters. A template is instantiated by a process assignment (in the system definition).

    Locations

    Locations of a timed automaton are graphically represented as circles. If a timed automaton is considered as a directed graph, then locations represent the vertices of this graph. Locations are connected by edges.

    Names

    Locations can have an optional name. Besides serving as an identifier allowing you to refer to the location from the requirement specification language, named locations are useful when documenting the model. The name must be a valid identifier and location names share the name space with variables, types, templates, etc.

    Invariants

    Locations are labelled with invariants. Invariants are expressions and thus follow the abstract syntax of expressions. However, the type checker restricts the set of possible expressions allowed in invariants.

    An invariant must be a conjunction of simple conditions on clocks, differences between clocks, and boolean expressions not involving clocks. The bound must be given by an integer expression. Furthermore lower bounds on clocks are disallowed. It is important to understand that invariants influence the behaviour of the system – they are distinctly different from specifying safety properties in the requirements specification language. States which violate the invariants are undefined; by definition, such states do not exist. This influences the interpretation of urgent channels and broadcast channels. Please see the section on synchronisations for a detailed discussion of this topic.

    In addition, stopwatches are supported and they are declared within invariant expressions using Lagrangian derivative notation (x' == 0 for clock x) through conjunction (&& or and). Furthermore, the forall construct is accepted in invariants to ease use of clock arrays.

    Statistical model checker supports arbitrary floating point expression as a clock rate/derivative which allows modeling of dynamical costs. Dynamical cost variables declared as hybrid clock are abstracted away from symbolic analysis, which allows to combine statistical and symbolic queries over the same model.

    Rate of Exponential

    The rate of exponential is a ratio expression which specifies the rate of exponential probability distribution. The rate expression can be a simple integer expression or two integer expressions separated by a colon like r:q where the rate is determined as ratio r/q.

    The rate of exponential is used in a statistical model checking. If the location does not have an invariant over time, then it is assumed that the probability of leaving the location is distributed according to the exponential distribution: Pr(leaving after t)=1−e−λt, where e=2.718281828…, t is time and λ is the fixed rate. Probability density of the exponential distribution is λe−λt and thus intuitively λ means the probability density of leaving at time zero, i.e. as soon as some edge is enabled. The smaller the rate is specified, the longer the delay is preferred.

    The generation of exact delay relies on pseudo random number generator and on 32-bit architectures the longest possible delay is rather limited: ln(231)/λ ≈ 21.49/λ.

    Examples

    The following are valid invariants. Here x and y are clocks and i is an integer array.

    x <= 2
    x is less than or equal to 2.
    x < y
    x is (strictly) less than y.
    forall(i:int[0,2]) x[i] <= 3
    The clocks x[0], x[1] and x[2] of the clock array x are less or equal to 3.
    forall(i:int[0,2]) y[i]' == b[i]
    The clock rates/derivatives y[0]', y[1]', and y[2]' are set to, respectively, b[0], b[1] and b[2]. Note that for symbolic queries the only valid values are 0 and 1. Setting the rate to 0 effectively stops a clock (makes it a stopwatch). In statistical model checking the rate is allowed to be any floating point expression. hybrid clock can be interpreted as a dynamical cost and abstracted away in symbolic queries while maintaining concrete values in statistical queries.

    Initial locations

    Each template must have exactly one initial location. The initial location is marked by a double circle.

    Urgent locations

    Urgent locations freeze time; i.e. time is not allowed to pass when a process is in an urgent location.

    Semantically, urgent locations are equivalent to:

    • adding an extra clock, say x, that is reset on every incomming edge, and
    • adding an invariant x <= 0 to the location.

    Committed locations

    Like urgent locations, committed locations also freeze time. Furthermore, if any process is in a committed location, the next transition must involve an edge from one of the committed locations.

    Committed locations are useful for creating atomic sequences and for encoding synchronization between more than two components. Notice that if several processes are in a committed location at the same time, then they will interleave.

        File Formats

        UPPAAL supports three file formats for models: XML, XTA and TA. XML and XTA files can be loaded and stored via the Open Project, Open System, Save System, and Save System As menus. When saving a file, the file type is determined by the file name extension used. Each format is explained in more details below.

        Notice that the above mentioned file formats are mostly independent from the type of changes made to the syntax between UPPAAL 3.4 and UPPAAL 4.0.

        In additon to the file formats for models, UPPAAL uses clear text query files for storing queries and the XTR file format for storing traces.

        XML

        The newest format is XML based and files in this format have the ending .xml. This format supports all features of UPPAAL. Elements like templates, locations, edges and labels are described using tags. This format was introduced in the GUI in version 3.2. As of version 3.4, the XML format is also supported by the verification engine. The GUI uses this format as its native file format. The addition of colors and notes on labels and edges, and the select expresssion on edges in UPPAAL 4.0 has resulted in the addition of a color attribute and two new label types. If these features are not used, the XML files generated by UPPAAL 4.0 are readable by UPPAAL 3.4.

        The level of abstraction in the format is chosen so that the format is independent of the actual syntax of declarations, invariants, guards, etc. Thus all labels are simply treated as strings without structure. In a GUI, this is very important, since the user might enter arbitrary text into the label fields and the file format must be able to cope with this situation. Before the introduction of the XML format, the XTA format was used. With this format it was not possible to save syntactically incorrect systems, i.e., if the user made a mistake in the syntax of a label it was not possible to save this systems.

        XTA

        The XTA format was introduced in version 3.0. This format can only reliably store syntactically correct systems. Anonymous locations are not supported by this format (UPPAAL automatically assigns a unique name to anonymous locations when saved to an XTA file). Graphical information (coordinates) about the objects are stored in a separate UGI file, although this is transparent to the user. XTA files use the ending .xta and UGI files the ending .ugi.

        In UPPAAL 4.0, the XTA format was extended with support for the select expression on edges. The UGI format was extended with support for the color attributes. If these features are not used, the XTA files generated by UPPAAL 4.0 are readable by UPPAAL 3.4.

        TA

        The TA format is a subset of the XTA format and does not support the template concept nor does it contain any graphical information about the system. UPPAAL can no longer save files in this format, although TA files can still be read.

        Query files

        Query files use a clear-text format listing all queries inleaved with comments. The format dates back to UPPAAL 2. Files in this format have the file ending .q.

        Trace files

        Symbolic simulation traces

        Symbolic simulation traces can be stored using the XTR format; files in this format have the extension .xtr. The format was introduced in UPPAAL 3.0.

        XTR files are intimately linked to the model from which they were generated. Any change (other than layout and white space changes) in the model may render the trace file unreadable. Even reordering some variable declarations will break the link.

        Our parser library, libutap, contains a small utility called tracer, which can read XTR files and translate them to a human readable format. The library and the utility are released under the LGPL license and may thus be used as a starting point for writing custom trace analysis tools. More information about the library can be found on the UPPAAL web page.

        Concrete simulation traces

        Concrete simulation traces can be stored using the UCTR format; files in this format have the extension .uctr.

        .uctr files are written in a JSON-like syntax, such that external editors can parse them.

        A .uctr file contains all transitions made in the simulation along with their delay in the transitions array.
