Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems, FORMATS 2006. The book presents 22 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited talks. Coverage includes work on foundations and semantics of timed systems including timed automata, timed Petri nets, timed MSCs, hybrid automata, timed process algebra, timed temporal logics, timed abstract state machines, as well as probabilistic models.
