Faster model checking for open systems

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We investigate Orex, a temporal logic for specifying open systems. Path properties in Orex are expressed using ω-regular expressions, while similar logics for open systems, such as ATL* of Alur et al., use LTL for this purpose. Our results indicate that this distinction is an important one. In particular, we show that Orex has a more efficient model-checking procedure than ATL*, even though it is strictly more expressive. To this end, we present a single-exponential model-checking algorithm for Orex; the model-checking problem for ATL* in contrast is provably double-exponential.
