Verification of real-time control programs needs special attention since these run in the real world and it is difficult to determine their mathematical properties. Besides, validating large real-time programs manually is impossible. Owing to these reasons, mechanical program verification systems have to be used. Boyer-Moore Theorem Prover (NQTHM) which, in fact, is a generalpurpose automated theorem prover, is such a system. We corroborated the control programs of a simple real-time system, viz. a water-tank complex, using NQTHM. A useful simulator (called WATERWORKS) has been implemented for this purpose.viii, 55 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessProgram VerificationBoyer-Moore Theorem Prover (NQTHM),Real-Time ControlSimulationCommonsense ReasoningLiquidsQA76.76.V47 U23 1993Computer programs--Verification.Automatic theorem proving.Real time control.Commonsense reasoning.Thesis
