Formal verification of multitask hybrid systems by the OTS/CafeOBJ method

Abstract

Hybrid systems combine both continuous and discrete behaviors. Formal descriptions of hybrid systems may help us to verify desired properties of a given system formally with computer supports. In this paper, we propose a way to describe a formal specification of a given multitask hybrid system as an observational transition system in CafeOBJ algebraic specification language and verify it by the proof score method based on equational reasoning implemented in CafeOBJ interpreter.
