Verification of Timed Asynchronous Programs

In this paper, we address the verification problem for timed asynchronous programs. We associate to each task, a deadline for its execution. We first show that the control state reachability problem for such class of systems is decidable while the configuration reachability problem is undecidable. Then, we consider the subclass of timed asynchronous programs where tasks are always being executed from the same state. For this subclass, we show that the control state reachability problem is PSPACE-complete. Furthermore, we show the decidability for the configuration reachability problem for the subclass.
