摘要

As in engineering, many phenomena of natural sciences such as biology and chemistry can be modelled using state-transition systems. In this context, the solid tools and theories from computer science represent a valuable resource to analyse, and reason about, such kind of systems. This paper contributes in this direction by using the Uppaal model checker to approach the circadian clock of a cyanobacteria, a challenging case study from biology that was already treated using discrete frameworks.
