Abstract

This thesis addresses the problem of parameter synthesis for simulation distance check- ing of parametric weighted transition systems. The usual notion of simulation relations is extended to allow point-wise deviations in transition weight matching, inducing a directed distance between states. The logical implications of distances between states is investigated using a parametric extension of Weighted CTL. The main contribution of this work is the utilization of parametric symbolic dependency graphs to represent the problem of checking whether or not the distance between two transition system states are below some threshold using parameter synthesis of the problem. To this end we present a global fixed point algorithm which has been implemented with a web-based front-end.
