Abstract
Introduction This paper presents a reference semantics for a verification tool currently under development allowing to verify temporal properties of embedded control systems modelled using the StateMate system. The semantics reported differs from others reported in the literature [24] by faithfully modelling the semantics as supported in the StateMate simulation tool. It differs from the recent paper by Harel and Naamad [8] by providing a compositional semantics, a prerequisite for the support of compositional verification methods, and by the degree of mathematical rigour. We use a variant of synchronous transition systems introduced by Manna and Pnueli [18] as base model for our semantics. The StateMate modelling language constructs covered in this paper are Activity charts , modelling the functional decomposition of a design into subunits called activities
