On-the-fly Fast Mean-Field Model-Checking

On-the-fly PCTL fast mean-field approximated model-checking for self-organising coordination

Typical self-organising collective systems consist of a large number of interacting objects that coordinate their activities in a decentralised and often implicit way. Design of such systems is challenging and requires suitable, scalable analysis tools to check properties of proposed system designs before they are put into operation. We present a novel scalable, on-the-fly approximated model-ch...

On-the-Fly Mean-Field Model-Checking for Attribute-Based Coordination

LTL Model Checking with Neco

We introduce neco-spot, an LTL model checker for Petri net models. It builds upon Neco, a compiler turning Petri nets into native shared libraries that allows fast on-the-fly exploration of the state-space, and upon Spot, a C++ library of model-checking algorithms. We show the architecture of Neco and explain how it was combined with Spot to build an LTL model checker.

Fast Generic Model-Checking for Data-Based Systems

This paper shows how predicate equation systems (PESs) may be used to solve model-checking problems for systems, such as those involving real-time or value passing, that manipulate data. PESs are first defined and the encoding of model-checking problems described; then generic global and local approaches for solving PESs are given. Real-time model checking is then considered in detail, and a ne...

Zenoness detection and timed model checking for real time systems

In this paper, we consider the time Petri net model (TPN model) and show how to detect zenoness using the state class method. Zenoness is a situation which suggests that an infinity of actions may take place in a finite amount of time. This behavior is often considered as pathological since it violates a fundamental requirement for timed systems for they cannot be infinitely fast. Models violat...
