TASTD: A Real-Time Extension for ASTD

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Rigorous State-Based Methods (ABZ 2023)

Abstract

In ASTD, real-time models are not natively supported. Real-time requirements are pervasive in many systems, like control systems and cybersecurity. Timed Algebraic State Transition Diagrams (TASTD) is an extension of ASTD capable of specifying real-time models. TASTD gives ASTD the capability to handle time with new algebraic operators. This paper describes the syntax and semantics of these new time operators: delay, persistent delay, timeout, persistent timeout, and timed interrupt. These new time operators are specified using two new operators, persistent guard and interrupt. To illustrate our extension, we present a small case study of a sensor where we want to detect potential anomalies.
