Applications of model checking for multi-agent systems: verification of diagnosability and recoverability
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a practical application of model checking for multi-agent systems to the automatic verification of diagnosability. First, a characterisation of diagnosability in terms of epistemic properties of agents is given; then, experimental results are presented for preliminary investigations in the automatic verification of diagnosability of Livingstone models.

Combining fault injection and model checking to verify fault tolerance, recoverability, and diagnosability in multi-agent systems
Article history: Received 3 January 2015 Available online xxxx We present an automated technique that combines fault injection with model checking to verify fault tolerance, recoverability, and diagnosability in multi-agent systems. We define a general method for mutating a multi-agent systems model representing correct behaviour by injecting faults into it, and specification patterns based on ...
متن کاملA Methodology for Automatic Diagnosability Analysis
We present an algorithm based on temporal-epistemic model checking combined with fault injection to analyse automatically the diagnosability of faults by agents in the system. We describe an implementation built on the multi-agent systems model checker MCMAS and a dedicated compiler for injecting faults into an MCMAS program. A diagnosability report is generated by the implementation which can ...
متن کاملModel checking multi-agent systems
A multi-agent system (MAS) is usually understood as a system composed of interacting autonomous agents. In this sense, MAS have been employed successfully as a modelling paradigm in a number of scenarios, especially in Computer Science. However, the process of modelling complex and heterogeneous systems is intrinsically prone to errors: for this reason, computer scientists are typically concern...
متن کاملDistributed Diagnosability Analysis with Petri Nets
We propose a framework to distributed diagnosability analysis of concurrent systems modeled with Petri nets as a collection of components synchronizing on common observable transitions, where faults can occur in several components. The diagnosability analysis of the entire system is done in parallel by verifying the interaction of each component with the fault free versions of the other compone...
متن کاملA Hybrid Meta-heuristic Approach to Cope with State Space Explosion in Model Checking Technique for Deadlock Freeness
Model checking is an automatic technique for software verification through which all reachable states are generated from an initial state to finding errors and desirable patterns. In the model checking approach, the behavior and structure of system should be modeled. Graph transformation system is a graphical formal modeling language to specify and model the system. However, modeling of large s...
