Abstract
A general automaton model for timing-based systems is presented and is used as the context for developing a variety of simulation proof techniques for such systems. As a first step, a comprehensive overview of simulation techniques for simple untimed automata is given. In particular, soundness and completeness results for (1) refinements, (2) forward and backward simulations, (3) forward-backward and backward-forward simulations, and (4) history and prophecy relations are given.
