Service Task

This paper proposes a new logical framework for vehicle route-sequence planning of passenger travel requests. Each request is a fetch-and-send service task associated with two request-locations, namely, a source and a destination. The proposed framework is developed using propositional linear time temporal logic of Manna and Pnueli. The novelty lies in the use of the formal language for both the specification and theorem-proving analysis of precedence constraints among the location visits that are inherent in route sequences. In the framework, legal route sequences—each of which visits every request location once and only once in the precedence order of fetch-and-send associated with every such request—is formalized and justified, forming a basis upon which the link between a basic precedence constraint and the corresponding canonical forbidden-state formula is formally established. Over a given base route plan, a simple procedure to generate a feasible subplan based on a specification of the forbidden-state canonical form is also given. An example demonstrates how temporal logic analysis and the proposed procedure can be applied to select a final (feasible) subplan based on additional precedence constraints.

ZusammenfassungDer vorgestellte Ansatz ermöglicht es, für SystemC-Schaltkreisbeschreibungen, die über einer gegebenen Gatterbibliothek definiert sind, Eigenschaften zu beweisen (engl. property checking). Als Spezifikationssprache wird LTL (linear time temporal logic) verwendet. Für den Beweis einer LTL-Eigenschaft kann die Erfüllbarkeit einer Booleschen Funktion betrachtet werden, die aus der Eigenschaft und der Schaltkreisbeschreibung mittels symbolischer Methoden konstruiert wird. Im Gegensatz zu simulationsbasierten Ansätzen kann dabei Vollständigkeit gewährleistet werden. Anhand einer Fallstudie eines skalierbaren Arbiters wird die Effizienz des Beweisverfahrens untersucht.

Probabilistic Nature

We present a method for reasoning about fault-tolerance in unbounded robotic swarms. We introduce a novel semantics that accounts for the probabilistic nature of both the swarm and possible malfunctions, as well as the unbounded nature of swarm systems. We define and interpret a variant of probabilistic linear-time temporal logic on the resulting executions, including those arising from faulty behaviour by some of the agents in the swarm. We specify the decision problem of parameterised fault-tolerance, which concerns determining whether a probabilistic specification holds under possibly faulty behaviour. We outline a verification procedure that we implement and use to study a foraging protocol from swarm robotics, and report the experimental results obtained.

Obvious Manner

A simple extension of the propositional temporal logic of linear<br />time is proposed. The extension consists of strengthening the until<br />operator by indexing it with the regular programs of propositional<br />dynamic logic (PDL). It is shown that DLTL, the resulting logic, is<br />expressively equivalent to S1S, the monadic second-order theory<br />of omega-sequences. In fact a sublogic of DLTL which corresponds<br />to propositional dynamic logic with a linear time semantics is<br />already as expressive as S1S. We pin down in an obvious manner<br />the sublogic of DLTL which correponds to the first order fragment<br />of S1S. We show that DLTL has an exponential time decision<br />procedure. We also obtain an axiomatization of DLTL. Finally,<br />we point to some natural extensions of the approach presented<br />here for bringing together propositional dynamic and temporal<br />logics in a linear time setting.
