TIOA and UPPAAL

This thesis presents a tool that assists in the development of timed systems, giving users simulation and verification capacities to guarantee timing properties in computer programs. The IOA Toolkit, a toolset for developing distributed systems, is extended to permit time-dependant properties to be described using a subset of the Timed IOA (TIOA) language. This thesis also includes a translator from TIOA into UPPAAL, another toolset. This translator allows the simulation of IOA and TIOA programs in UPPAAL's easy-to-use interface, and the checking of their properties with UPPAAL's model checker. This thesis lays the framework for an extension of the toolkit to utilize the full TIOA language, and to allow composed automata to be simulated. A scheme for translating composed automata into UPPAAL is also presented.
