“…Critical is the inclusion, in a theatre model, of the dynamical laws of the continuous modes of a physical part, and their integration with the discrete-time discrete-event of the actor-based controlling cyber part. A preliminary experience based on hybrid automata concepts (Ghomri and Alla, 2018) is described in Nigro and Sciammarella (2019).…”

The work described in this paper is concerned with a model-driven development of distributed real-time systems, like cyber-physical systems. A challenge in such systems' development consists of ensuring that a final implementation is compliant with its model used for functional and temporal property checking. In particular, a modern Java framework called Theatre is described which enables the modelling, analysis and synthesis of distributed real-time systems in a way which preserves such compliance. Theatre is based on the paradigm of actors, that is highly modular and encapsulated software entities which communicate with each other by asynchronous message-passing. Theatre rests on lightweight actors regulated by a customisable reflective control layer. Key features of Theatre are its support to seamless application development and timing predictability. The same model can be developed, without distortions, from early analysis through design and to a series of implementations. The paper describes Theatre and demonstrates its application to the development of a distributed dependable real-time system. Both modelling and property checking by simulation and real-time prototyping are illustrated. Theatre's current level of maturity and practical implementation in Java are detailed.

This paper proposes a formal method based on the Theatre framework for modeling and analysis of knowledge and commitments in multi-agent systems (MASs). Theatre centers on actors and a reduction on to Uppaal, which enables both non-deterministic analysis (that is, qualitative analysis by exhaustive verification, or showing that something can possibly occur) and quantitative analysis (that is, estimating probability measures of event occurrence through simulations) of the same model. The article describes the modeling and analysis approach based on Theatre and Uppaal, and shows its application to the modeling and property checking of the NetBill protocol used in web-based MAS applications when selling/buying goods. Properties of the NetBill protocol are demonstrated by experimental results.
