Resumen:

Recent technological innovations have caused a considerable interest in the study of dynamical processes of a mixed continuous and discrete nature. Such processes are called hybrid systems and are characterized by the interaction of time-continuous models (governed by differential or difference equations) on the one hand, and logic rules and discrete-event systems (described by, e.g., automata, finite state machines, etc.) on the other. In practise a hybrid system arises, e.g., when continuous physical processes are controlled via embedded software that intrinsically has a finite number of states. An overview of the field of hybrid systems will be offered first. Then aspects related to modelling and verification through reachability methods and abstractions will be particularly emphasised.
