Recursive Abstract State Machines

چکیده
According to the ASM thesis, any algorithm is essentially a Gurevich abstract state machine. The only objection to this thesis, at least in its sequential version, has been that ASMs do not capture recursion properly. To this end, we suggest recursive ASMs.

A Representation Theorem for Primitive Recursive Algorithms
We formalize the algorithms computing primitive recursive (PR) functions as the abstract state machines (ASMs) whose running length is computable by a PR function. Then we show that there exists a programming language (implementing only PR functions) by which it is possible to implement any one of the previously defined algorithms for the PR functions in such a way that their complexity is pres...
متن کاملHierarchical and Recursive State Machines with Context-Dependent Properties
Hierarchical and recursive state machines are suitable abstract models for many software systems. In this paper we extend a model recently introduced in literature, by allowing atomic propositions to label all the kinds of vertices and not only basic nodes. We call the obtained models context-dependent hierarchical/recursive state machines. We study on such models cycle detection, reachability ...
متن کاملOn the Complexity of LtlModel-Checking of Recursive State Machines
Recursive state machines (rsms) are models for programs with recursive procedural calls. While Ltl model-checking is Exptimecomplete on such models, on finite-state machines, it is Pspace-complete in general and becomes Np-complete for interesting fragments. In this paper, we systematically study the computational complexity of modelchecking rsms against several syntactic fragments of Ltl. Our ...
متن کاملOn-the-Fly Reachability and Cycle Detection for Recursive State Machines
Searching the state space of a system using enumerative and on-the-fly depth-first traversal is an established technique for model checking finite-state systems. In this paper, we propose algorithms for on-the-fly exploration of recursive state machines, or equivalently pushdown systems, which are suited for modeling the behavior of procedural programs. We present algorithms for reachability (i...
متن کاملA Logic for Abstract State Machines
We introduce a logic for non distributed, deterministic Abstract State Machines with parallel function updates. Unlike other logics for ASMs which are based on dynamic logic, our logic is based on an atomic predicate for function updates and on a definedness predicate for the termination of the evaluation of transition rules. We do not assume that the transition rules of ASMs are in normal form...
