In this paper we present a CTL-like logic which is interpreted over the state spaces of Coloured Petri Nets. The logic has been designed to express properties of both state and transition information. This is possible because the state spaces are labelled transition systems. We compare the expressiveness of our logic with CTL's. Then, we present a model checking algorithm which for efficiency reasons utilises strongly connected components and formula reduction rules. We present empirical results for non-trivial examples and compare the performance of our algorithm with that of Clarke, Emerson, and Sistla.

<p>State Space Analysis is one of the most developed analysis methods for Petri Nets. The main problem of state space analysis is the size of the state spaces. Several ways to reduce it have been proposed but cannot yet handle industrial size systems.</p><p>Large models often consist of a set of modules. Local properties of each module can be checked separately, before checking the validity of the entire system. We want to avoid the construction of a single state space of the entire system.</p><p>When considering transition sharing, the behaviour of the total system can be capture by the state spaces of modules combined with a Synchronisation Graph. To verify that we do not lose information we show how the full state space can be conctructed.</p><p>We show how it is possible to determine usual Petri Nets properites, without unfolding to the ordinary state space.</p>

In this paper we derive bounds on the conductance and hence on the spectral gap of a Metropolis algorithm with a monotone, log-concave target density on an interval of ℝ. We show that the minimal conductance set has measure ½ and we use this characterization to bound the conductance in terms of the conductance of the algorithm restricted to a smaller domain. Whereas previous work on conductance has resulted in good bounds for Markov chains on bounded domains, this is the first conductance bound applicable to unbounded domains. We then show how this result can be combined with the state-decomposition theorem of Madras and Randall (2002) to bound the spectral gap of Metropolis algorithms with target distributions with monotone, log-concave tails on ℝ.

AbstractIn this paper, we give a step by step introduction to the theory ofwell quasi-orderedtransition systems. The framework combines two concepts, namely (i) transition systems which aremonotonicwrt. awell-quasi ordering; and (ii) a scheme for symbolicbackwardreachability analysis. We describe several models with infinite-state spaces, which can be analyzed within the framework, e.g., Petri nets, lossy channel systems, timed automata, timed Petri nets, and multiset rewriting systems. We will also presentbetter quasi-orderedtransition systems which allow the design of efficient symbolic representations of infinite sets of states.

Consider a multistate system with partially ordered state space E, which is divided into a set C of working states and a set D of failure states. Let X(t) be the state of the system at time t and suppose {X(t)} is a stochastically monotone Markov chain on E. Let T be the failure time, i.e., the hitting time of the set D. We derive upper and lower bounds for the reliability of the system, defined as Pm(T > t) where m is the state of perfect system performance.
