The benefits of relaxing punctuality
Open accessAbstract
The most natural, compositional, way of modeling real-time systems uses a dense domain for time.The satistiability of timing constraints that are capable of expressing punctuality in this model, however, is known to be undecidable.We introduce a temporal language that can constrain the time difference between events only with finite, yet arbitrary, precision and show the resulting logic to be EXPSPACE-complete.This result allows us to develop an algorithm for the verification of timing properties of real-time systems with a dense semantics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
