Abstract

Timed CSP reinterprets the CSP language in a real-time setting and has a semantics in which the exact times of events are recorded as well as their order. Originally devised in the 1980s, it has only just been implemented as an alternative mode for FDR. The objective of this project is to take one or more examples of timed concurrent system from the literature, implement them in Timed CSP, and where possible compare the performance of these models with similar examples running on other analysis tools such as Uppaal.
