The Timing and Probability Workbench: A Tool for Analysing Timed Processes

We describe the implementation of a tool for analysing systems described in the TPCCS process algebra (CCS extended with time and probability). The tool essentially provides three functions: (i) simulation of TPCCS speciications, (ii) checking whether two TPCCS speciications are equivalent with respect to TPCCS strong bisimulation equivalence, and (iii) checking whether a TPCCS speciication satisses a system property described in TPCTL, a branching time logic similar to CTL in which timing and probabilistic properties of systems can be expressed. The printed version of the thesis diiers from the original text in some minor details. The introduction contains a short discussion on the diierences between the versions.
