Workshop on Formal Verification and Synthesis for Hybrid Systems

Abstract

Models and specifications for modern systems are typically hybrid innature. Autonomous systems, for example, are governed by not only the underlying physics but alsotheir computing and communication platforms. They are constrained by not only low-level actuationlimitations and stability requirements but also high-level mission specifications.It has long been recognized that hybrid systems cut across multiple disciplines. However, majority,if not all, of synthesis and verification methods proposed for hybrid systems ironically fail to behybrid. Each discipline attempts to fit the underlying problems to its toolset through unnaturaltransformations (e.g., finite-state discretization) and restrictions. Principles and tricks that havebeen successfully utilized in one domain are naively applied on modeling and specification languages for which they were never intended. The outcome of this
