Interrupt Timed Automata (ITA) form a subclass of stopwatch automata where
reachability and some variants of timed model checking are decidable even in
presence of parameters. They are well suited to model and analyze real-time
operating systems. Here we extend ITA with polynomial guards and updates,
leading to the class of polynomial ITA (PolITA). We prove the decidability of
the reachability and model checking of a timed version of CTL by an adaptation
of the cylindrical decomposition method for the first-order theory of reals.
Compared to previous approaches, our procedure handles parameters and clocks in
a unified way. Moreover, we show that PolITA are incomparable with stopwatch
automata. Finally additional features are introduced while preserving
decidability
