============================================================




Modelling languages such as Petri Nets or Timed Automata allow for designing critical systems and model-checking their expected properties. However, all characteristics of the system under construction may not be known in advance. The nature of such unknown parts is manyfold, e.g.: the designer may have the choice of different components with similar behaviour and different timing constraints; there can be an a priori unknown number of identical processes present in the system; some actions can be controlled to be enabled or disabled, have different probabilities of occurring, etc. These situations can be captured by introducing parameters in particular on timings, actions, and probabilities.


In this tutorial, we focus on such parameterised models and their associated analysis techniques. These allow for tuning the actual values of parameters in order to satisfy expected properties. It also provides the designer with a set of adequate choices w.r.t. what the system should achieve.


The tutorial will present the underlying theory, the verification approaches, typical applications, and will put these into practice through hands-on sessions using IMITATOR, Romeo, and Spatula tools.
