Reactive systems

Reactive system

system that computes by reacting to stimuli from its environment alongits overall computation

• in contrast to sequential systems whose meaning is defined by theresults of finite computations, the behaviour of reactive systems ismainly determined by interaction of non-terminating processesevolving concurrently.

• observation ≡ interaction

• behaviour ≡ a structured record of interactions

Labelled Transition System

DefinitionA LTS over a set N of names is a tuple 〈S ,N, ↓,→〉 where

• S = {s0, s1, s2, ...} is a set of states

• ↓ ⊆ S is the set of terminating or final states

↓ s ≡ s ∈ ↓

• → ⊆ S × N × S is the transition relation, often given as anN-indexed family of binary relations

sa−→ s ′ ≡ 〈s, a, s ′〉 ∈ →

Labelled Transition System

MorphismA morphism relating two LTS over N, 〈S ,N, ↓,−→〉 and 〈S ′,N, ↓′,−→′〉,is a function h : S → S ′ st

sa−→ s ′ ⇒ h(s)

a−→′h(s ′)

s ↓ ⇒ h(s) ↓′

morphisms preserve transitions and termination

Labelled Transition System

SystemGiven a LTS 〈S ,N, ↓,−→〉, each state s ∈ S determines a system over allstates reachable from s and the corresponding restrictions of −→ and ↓.

Reachability

DefinitionThe reachability relation, →∗⊆ S × N∗ × S , is defined inductively

• sε−→∗s for each s ∈ S , where ε ∈ N∗ denotes the empty word;

• if sa−→ s ′′ and s ′′

σ−→∗s ′ then s

aσ−→∗s ′, for a ∈ N, σ ∈ N∗

Reachable statet ∈ S is reachable from s ∈ S iff there is a word σ ∈ N∗ st s

σ−→∗t

Automata

Back to old friends?

automaton behaviour ≡ accepted language

Recall that finite automata recognize regular languages, i.e. generatedby

• L1 + L2 := L1 ∪ L2 (union)

• L1 · L2 := {st|s ∈ L1, t ∈ L2} (concatenation)

• L∗ := {ε} ∪ L ∪ (L · L) ∪ (L · L · L) ∪ ... (iteration)

Automata

There is a syntax to specify such languages:

E ::= ε | a | E + E | E E | E∗

where a ∈ Σ.

and an algebra of regular expressions:

(E1 + E2) + E3 = E1 + (E2 + E3)

(E1 + E2)E3 = E1 E3 + E2 E3

E1 (E2 E1)∗ = (E1 E2)∗ E1

Automata

There is a syntax to specify such languages:

E ::= ε | a | E + E | E E | E∗

where a ∈ Σ.and an algebra of regular expressions:

(E1 + E2) + E3 = E1 + (E2 + E3)

(E1 + E2)E3 = E1 E3 + E2 E3

E1 (E2 E1)∗ = (E1 E2)∗ E1

After thoughts

... need more general models and theories:

• Several interaction points ( 6= functions)

• Need to distinguish normal from anomolous termination (egdeadlock)

• Non determinisim should be taken seriously: the notion ofequivalence based on accepted language is blind wrt nondeterminism

• Moreover: the reactive characters of systems entails that not onlythe generated language is important, but also the states traversedduring an execution of the automata.

Exercise

• Describe each behaviour and distinguish between the twoalarm clocks.

• Describe these graphical specifications in the form of alabelled transition system conforming to the formal definition.

• Modify the previous specification to express a situation inwhich it is unclear how often the alarm can be repeated.

Exercise

• Draw the behaviour of an alarm clock where it is always possible todo a set or a reset action.

• Draw the behaviour of an alarm clock with unreliable buttons.When pressing the set button the alarm clock can be set, but thisdoes not need to be the case. Similarly for the reset button.Pressing it can reset the alarm clock, but the clock can also stay ina state where an alarm is still possible.

• Draw the behaviour of an alarm clock where the alarm sounds atmost three times when no other action interferes.
