چکیده

We introduce an automata-theoretic approach for the verification of multi-agent systems. We present a translation between branching time temporal-epistemic logic and alternating tree automata. Model checking an interpreted system against a temporal-epistemic formula is reduced to checking the non-emptiness of the composition of two tree automata. We exemplify this technique using a simple multi-agent scenario.

Model Checking Temporal-Epistemic Logic Using Alternating Tree Automata

We introduce a novel automata-theoretic approach for the verification of multi-agent systems. We present epistemic alternating tree automata, an extension of alternating tree automata, and use them to represent specifications in the temporal-epistemic logic CTLK. We show that model checking a memory-less interpreted system against a CTLK property can be reduced to checking the language non-empt...

Reducing Validity in Epistemic ATL to Validity in Epistemic CTL

We propose a validity preserving translation from a subset of epistemic Alternating-time Temporal Logic (ATL) to epistemic Computation Tree Logic (CTL). The considered subset of epistemic ATL is known to have the finite model property and decidable model-checking. This entails the decidability of validity but the implied algorithm is unfeasible. Reducing the validity problem to that in a corres...

The Expressive Power of Epistemic $μ$-Calculus

While the μ-calculus notoriously subsumes Alternating-time Temporal Logic (ATL), we show that the epistemic μ-calculus does not subsume ATL with imperfect information (ATLi), for the synchronous perfect-recall semantics. To prove this we first establish that jumping parity tree automata (JTA), a recently introduced extension of alternating parity tree automata, are expressively equivalent to th...

Branching-Time Temporal Logic and Tree Automata

JJ89] C. Jard and T. Jeron. On-line model-checking for nite linear temporal logic speciications. 6 Conclusions In this paper we showed that tree automata, which have been considered unsuitable for branching-time model checking, provide a neat and optimal framework for branching-time temporal logics and can handle, eeciently, model checking. The crucial point in our method is that when branching...
