Automatic analysis of such systems is usually very difficult thus typically one simplifies the analysis task by using simulation or by working on a simplified model (e.g. a Markov Chain). We present a Finite Horizon Probabilistic Model Checking approach which essentially can handle the same class of stochastic processes of a typical simulator. This yields easy modeling of the system to be analyzed together with formal verification capabilities. Our approach is based on a suitable disk based extension of the Mur$\varphi$ verifier. Moreover we present experimental results showing effectiveness of our approach. %R 10.1007/978-3-540-45208-9_6 %U http://mclab.di.uniroma1.it/publications/papers/papers/Della Penna2003b.pdf %U https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-45208-9_6 %P 58-71
