Abstract

We propose a formal framework for designing hybrid systems by stepwise refinement. Starting with a specification in hybrid temporal logic, we make successively more transitions explicit until we obtain an executable system.

This research was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grants CCR-92-00794 and CCR-92-23226, by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency under contract NAG2-703, by the United States Air Force Office of Scientific Research under contracts F49620-93-1-0056 and F49620-93-1-0139, and by the European Community ESPRIT Basic Research Action Project 6021 (REACT).
