Abstract

Hybrid Systems are models of systems operating in real-time and handling events as well as “continuous” computations. The Signal formalism for Hybrid Systems is presented in this paper. Its expressive power is discussed, and a general method, to associate various formal systems with it, is presented with applications to Signal compilation and proof system.
