# Hybrid automata: An algorithmic approach to the specification and verification of hybrid systems

## First Pass
**Category:** 
New methods paper

**Context:** 
This paper was released in the early 1990's when formal
methods was gaining some steam for proving algorithms. This
paper talks about the challenges of hybrid systems, where
there are discrete changes on top of continuous dynamics.

**Correctness:** 
It's an extremely well cited paper.

**Contributions:** 
The [[Hybrid Automata]]

**Clarity:** 
4/5. Dense. Mathematical.

## Second Pass
**What is the main thrust?**

**What is the supporting evidence?**

**What are the key findings?**

## Third Pass
**Recreation Notes:**

**Hidden Findings:**

**Weak Points? Strong Points?**

## Spawned Zettels
