Abstract

: The design of complex distributed embedded systems often is a great challenge due to the numerousness and the large size of parallel real-time operating components. In this research paper the problems of proofing the correctness of such systems are discussed. As approach the use of well-known Petri net verification methods for modelling formalisms like Coloured Dynamic Sequence Diagrams is suggested. The extension of the time-related verification method for Coloured Petri Nets, derived from Coloured Sequence Diagrams for modelling of embedded real-time systems, is shown. A definition of Coloured Time Interval Petri Nets is given, and finally, a verification method for time related aspects is presented. A verification reference example demonstrates the applicability.
