Abstract:
Specification and verification of concurrent systems is difficult because reactive system executions are infinite --which is known as "state-explosion problem"; moreover there are a huge number of different possible executions for each system, because of the interleavings.
Propositional Temporal Logic (PTL) is a convenient formalism to specify properties of systems with a linear behaviour. Nevertheless: System designers have found PTL difficult to use, since, in many cases, formulas describing complex properties become very hard to understand. The lack of a graphical representation of PTL formulas is another drawback to get a widespread use of PTL.
With Interval-based temporal logics (FIL/GIL, CCTL, etc.) we can obtain a graphical finite representation of complex properties defined over infinite execution sequences.
As epitome of our presentation, several applications to business processes and telecommunication systems will be shown as a highly collaborative research field in which the University of Granada's group is very interested presently.
