Divide and Compose: SCC Refinement for Language Emptiness
[chapter]
2001
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
For language-emptiness checking, it quickly discards uninteresting parts of the state space; for the remaining states, it adapts the model checking computation to the strength of the SCCs at hand. ...
We present a general framework for SCC refinement, which uses a compositional approach to generate and refine overapproximations. ...
Specialized model checking algorithms for weak and especially terminal automata outperform the general language emptiness algorithm of Emerson can be used for terminal ones. ...

Compositional SCC Analysis for Language Emptiness
2006
Formal methods in system design
We propose a refinement approach to language emptiness, which is based on the enumeration and the successive refinements of SCCs on over-approximations of the exact system. ...
It decomposes the state space disjunctively so that each state subset can be checked in isolation to decide language emptiness for the given system. ...
The Divide and Compose (D'n'C) algorithm, whose entry function is GENERIC-REFINEMENT, takes as arguments a Büchi automaton A and a set L of over-approximations to A, When decomposing an SCC-closed set ...

Variations on parallel explicit emptiness checks for generalized Büchi automata
2016
International Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer (STTT)
We present new parallel explicit emptiness checks for LTL model checking. ...
Unlike existing parallel emptiness checks, these are based on a Strongly Connected Component (SCC) enumeration, support generalized Büchi acceptance, and require no synchronization points nor recomputing ...
Among the 3268 formulas in our benchmark, 2406 generate automata with multiple SCC strengths (997 where the language of the product is empty, and 1409 where the language is non-empty). ...

Formal Aspects of Computing
Complementing the search for SCCs, explicit techniques and component-wise abstractions are used to prove the absence of counterexamples. ...
Efficient symbolic and explicit-state model checking approaches have been developed for the verification of linear time temporal logic (LTL) properties. ...

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We study various properties of timed languages accepted with positive frequency, and in particular the emptiness and universality problems. ...
The languages of infinite timed words accepted by timed automata are traditionally defined using Büchi-like conditions. ...

A propositional dense time logic
[chapter]
1993
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Ordinal trees can be easily embedded as a temporal data structure in a conventional logic programming language and thus provide a framework for temporal logic programming. ...
Ordinal tree models though based on dense points, represent interval based information which maybe refined to any finite level. ...
An empty node is considered open. If ~ node contains both A and ~A (or ~'), then it is obviously unsatisfiable and therefore closed. ...

finite unions of disjoint shuffles of singleton languages and regular commutative languages. ...
In the process, we obtain the characterization ZG = MNil \vee Com, and also characterize the ZG languages, i.e., the languages whose syntactic monoid is in ZG: they are precisely the languages that are ...
For any alphabet Σ, for any n > 0, for any m > 0, if m is a multiple of n then the m-congruence refines the n-congruence. ...

Efficient Model Checking of Safety Properties
[chapter]
2003
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Our first contribution is a theorem relating abstraction for Coloured Petri nets as defined by Lakos [36] and preservation of safety properties. ...
Minor contributions include new proofs for some old complexity results regarding LTL and safety properties. The implementation of the translation algorithm is also experimentally evaluated. ...
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author thanks Keijo Heljanko for fruitful discussions and comments on the paper. ...

We also clear when it is possible to obtain, for those resolute refinements, the reversal symmetry (immunity to the reversal bias). ...
The theory we develop turns out to be useful in many common applicative contexts and allows to explicitly construct those refinements. ...
Consider, for instance, a faculty committee composed by full and associate professors which is going to select some applicants for an academic position. ...

Scalable Multi-core Model Checking Fairness Enhanced Systems

2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We enhance our PAT model checker with the technique and show its usability via the automated verification of several real-life systems. ...
Experimental results show that our approach is scalable, especially when a system search space contains many SCCs. ...
There are two SCCs, namely scc1 which is composed of state 1 only and scc2 which is composed of state 0, 2 and 3. ...

An Efficient Synthesis Algorithm for Parametric Markov Chains Against Linear Time Properties
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
The algorithm works also for interval Markov chains. The complexity is linear in the size of the Markov chain, and exponential in the size of the formula. ...
The PLTL formula is translated to an almost fully partitioned B\"uchi automaton which is then composed with the parametric Markov chain. ...
Intuitively, in the product G composed by an almost reverse deterministic automaton A and a PMC M, the complete SCCs must be the SCCs whose preceded SCCs should not have the same projections. ...

Saturation-Based Incremental LTL Model Checking with Inductive Proofs
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Efficient symbolic and explicit model checking approaches have been developed for the verification of linear time temporal properties. ...
In addition, our solution works on-the-fly during state space traversal and exploits the decomposition of the model as an abstraction to inductively prove the absence of SCCs with cheap explicit runs on ...
Checking these properties is usually reduced to finding strongly connected components (SCCs) by checking language emptiness of the synchronous product of two Büchi automata: one characterizing the possible ...

Incremental qualitative temporal reasoning: Algorithms for the Point Algebra and the ORD-Horn class
2005
Artificial Intelligence
The reasoning algorithms for PA and the tractable fragments of IA, such as Nebel and Bürckert's maximal tractable class of relations (ORD-Horn), have originally been designed for "static" reasoning. ...
The Point Algebra (PA) and the Interval Algebra (IA) are two well-known frameworks for qualitative temporal reasoning. ...
As a final remark, we observe that FEASIBLE could be improved by initializing C to SCC * [w, z, r ] instead of the empty set. ...
