Abstract
We report on the automatic verification of timed probabilistic properties of the IEEE 1394 root contention protocol combining two existing tools: the real-time model checker Kronos and the probabilistic model checker Prism. The system is modelled as a probabilistic timed automaton. We first use Kronos to perform a symbolic forwards reachability analysis to generate the set of states that are reachable with non-zero probability from the initial state and before the deadline expires. We then encode this information as a Markov decision process to be analyzed with Prism. We apply this technique to compute the minimal probability of a leader being elected before a deadline, for different deadlines, and study how this minimal probability is influenced by using a biased coin and considering different wire lengths.
