}We show that the class of distributed time-asynchronous automata is more expressive than timed automata, has a decidable emptiness problem, is closed under union, concatenation, star, shuffle and renaming, but not under intersection. The closure results are obtained by showing that distributed time-asynchronous automata are equivalent with a subclass of shuffle regular expressions and its related class of stopwatch automata.

Distributed Timed Automata with Independently Evolving Clocks

It is shown that the existential semantics always describes a regular set of behaviors in a model of distributed timed systems where each component is a timed automaton with a set of local clocks that evolve at a rate independent of the clocks of the other components.

Revisiting digitization, robustness, and decidability for timed automata

The robust semantics yields an undecidable (nonregular) discrete-time theory, in stark contrast with the standard semantics, which makes it virtually impossible to apply digitization techniques together with the robust semantics.
