Parameterised Verification of Data-aware Multi-Agent Systems

چکیده
We introduce parameterised data-aware multiagent systems, a formalism to reason about the temporal properties of arbitrarily large collections of homogeneous agents, each operating on an infinite data domain. We show that their parameterised verification problem is semi-decidable for classes of interest. This is demonstrated by separately addressing the unboundedness of the number of agents and the data domain. In doing so we reduce the parameterised model checking problem for these systems to that of parameterised verification for interleaved interpreted systems. We illustrate the expressivity of the formal model by modelling English auctions with an unbounded number of bidders on unbounded data.

Automatic Verification of Parameterised Interleaved Multi-Agent Systems
A key problem in verification of multi-agent systems by model checking concerns the fact that the state-space of the system grows exponentially with the number of agents present. This often makes practical model checking unfeasible whenever the system contains more than a few agents. In this paper we put forward a technique to establish a cutoff result, thereby showing that systems with an arbi...
متن کاملAutomatic Verification of Multi-Agent Systems in Parameterised Grid-Environments
We present a framework for modeling and analysing multiple mobile agents on grid-environments such as finite mazes and labyrinths. Agents are modeled as automata, and the grid-environments are parameterised by their size and the relative positions of the obstacles. We study the verification problem, i.e., whether given agents complete a given task on a given (possibly infinite) set of grid-envi...
متن کاملParameterised Verification of Autonomous Mobile-Agents in Static but Unknown Environments
Automata walking on graphs are a mathematical formalisation of autonomous mobile agents with limited memory operating in discrete environments. This paper establishes a framework in which to model and automatically verify that autonomous mobile agents correctly perform their tasks. The framework consists of a logical language tailored for expressing agent tasks, and an algorithm solving the par...
متن کاملA Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents
Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....
متن کاملVerifying Fault-tolerance in Parameterised Multi-Agent Systems
We develop a technique to evaluate the faulttolerance of a multi-agent system whose number of agents is unknown at design time. We present a method for injecting a variety of non-ideal behaviours, or faults, studied in the safety-analysis literature into the abstract agent templates that are used to generate an unbounded family of multiagent systems with different sizes. We define the parameter...
