The Compositional Interchange Format (CIF), is a modeling formalism for hybrid systems, that aims to establishing interoperability of a wide range of tools by means of model transformations to and from CIF. UPPAAL is a very successful tool for the specification and analysis of timed systems.
It is interesting, both from a theoretical and a practical perspective, to be able to translate CIF models to UPPAAL models, since this makes it possible to model check properties of timed CIF models. This requires a semantic preserving transformation, which ensures that properties validated in UPPAAL models also hold for their CIF counterparts. In addition, by providing such a translation we are, at the same time, providing translations for a wider set of languages that can be transformed to CIF.
This paper presents a semantic-preserving transformation from a subset of CIF models to UPPAAL. The transformation described in this work constitutes the cornerstone for transformations of a broader subset of CIF.
