Preserving Partial Order Runs in Parametric Time Petri Nets

Parameter synthesis for timed systems aims at deriving parameter valuations satisfying a given property. In this paper we target concurrent systems; it is well known that concurrency is a source of state-space explosion, and partial order techniques were defined to cope with this problem. Here we use partial order semantics for parametric time Petri nets as a way to significantly enhance the result of an existing synthesis algorithm. Given a reference parameter valuation, our approach synthesizes other valuations preserving, up to interleaving, the behavior of the reference parameter valuation. We show the applicability of our approach using acyclic asynchronous circuits.
