Development of concurrent and time-dependent software systems is currently growing in its strategic importance due to the diffusion of powerful multi-core/many-core machines. To effectively cope with current and prospective concurrency demands, formal tools have to be used. A library of reusable UPPAAL timed automata was achieved, which enables a reasoning on concurrency. The library is tailored to Java. However, similar solutions could be also developed to work with other languages as well.
