A CSP Model for Hybrid Automata

This contribution aims to combine hybrid automata with CSP establishing a connection between the elements of hybrid automata and CSP processes using an approach for the decomposition of hybrid systems. As a result we obtain a transformation from hybrid automata into CSP processes, written in Hoare-CSP in the untimed parts and in real-time CSP or HCSP in the timed parts. These processes provide a basis to build up analysis mechanisms like animation and testing, converging in tool support for the specification, transformation, animation, implementation and test of hybrid systems.
