Abstract.
This paper describes a major new release of the PRISM probabilistic model checker,
adding, in particular, quantitative verification of (priced) probabilistic timed automata.
These model systems exhibiting
probabilistic, nondeterministic and real-time characteristics.
In many application domains, all three aspects are essential; this includes, for example,
embedded controllers in automotive or avionic systems,
wireless communication protocols such as Bluetooth or Zigbee,
and randomised security protocols.
PRISM, which is open-source,
also contains several new components that are of independent use.
These include:
an extensible toolkit for building, verifying and refining abstractions of probabilistic models;
an explicit-state probabilistic model checking library;
a discrete-event simulation engine for statistical model checking;
support for generation of optimal adversaries/strategies;
and a benchmark suite.
