چکیده

In this paper bounded model checking of asynchronous concurrent systems is introduced as a promising application area for answer set programming. This is an extension of earlier work where bounded model checking has been used for verification of sequential digital circuits. As the model of asynchronous systems a generalization of communicating automata, 1-safe Petri nets, are used. A mapping from bounded reachability and deadlock detection problems of 1-safe Petri nets to stable model computation is devised. Some experimental results on solving deadlock detection problems using the mapping and the Smodels system are presented. They indicate that the approach is quite competitive when searching for short executions of the system leading to deadlock.

Complexity of Model Checking and Bounded Predicate Arities for Non-ground Answer Set Programming

Answer Set Programming has become a host for expressing knowledge representation problems, which reinforces the interest in efficient methods for computing answer sets of a logic program. While for propositional programs, the complexity of this task has been amply studied and is wellunderstood, less attention has been paid to the case of nonground programs, which is much more important from a K...

Complexity of Answer Set Checking and Bounded Predicate Arities for Non-ground Answer Set Programming

We present new complexity results on answer set checking for nonground programs under a variety of syntactic restrictions. For several of these problems, the kind of representation of the answer set to be checked is important. In particular, we consider set-based and bitmap-based representations, which are popular in implementations of Answer Set Programming systems. Furthermore, we present new...

Achieving Completeness in Bounded Model Checking of Action Theories in ASP

Temporal logics can be used in reasoning about actions for specifying constraints on domain descriptions and temporal properties to be verified. In this paper, we exploit bounded model checking (BMC) techniques in the verification of dynamic linear time temporal logic (DLTL) properties of an action theory, which is formulated in a temporal extension of answer set programming (ASP). To achieve c...

Bounded LTL Model Checking with Stable Models

In this paper bounded model checking of asynchronous concurrent systems is introduced as a promising application area for answer set programming. As the model of asynchronous systems a generalization of communicating automata, 1-safe Petri nets, are used. It is shown how a 1-safe Petri net and a requirement on the behavior of the net can be translated into a logic program such that the bounded ...

Business process verification with constraint temporal answer set programming

The paper provides a framework for the verification of business processes, based on an extension of answer set programming (ASP) with temporal logic and constraints. The framework allows to capture expressive fluent annotations as well as data awareness in a uniform way. It allows for a declarative specification of a business process but also for encoding processes specified in conventional wor...
