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.
