SIAM Journal on Computing Volume 31, Number 3 pp. 777-798 Temporal Logic and Semidirect Products: An Effective Characterization of the Until Hierarchy Denis Thérien, Thomas Wilke Abstract. We reveal an intimate connection between semidirect products of finite semigroups and substitution of formulas in linear temporal logic. We use this connection to obtain an algebraic characterization of the until hierarchy of linear temporal logic. (The k th level of that hierarchy is comprised of all temporal properties that are expressible by a formula of nesting depth k in the until operator.) Applying deep results from finite semigroup theory we are able to prove that each level of the until hierarchy is decidable. By means of EhrenfeuchtFraissé games, we extend the results from linear temporal logic over finite sequences to linear temporal logic over infinite sequences. Key words. linear temporal logic, until hierarchy, substitution, finite semigroups, pseudovarieties of semigroups, aperiodic semigroups, semidirect products AMS Subject Classifications PII Retrieve PostScript document ( 32277.ps

CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Temporal Logic in Engineering Guest Editors: Brian Knight and Ephraim Nissan Deputy Guest Editor: Jixin Ma AIEDAM: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN, ANALYSIS AND MANUFACTURING. A journal published by Cambridge University Press. Temporal logic within AI is now a mature paradigm, with an extensive literature on theory, and a considerable panoply of published applications. Paper submissions are solicited for a special issue on applications of temporal logic to any branch of engineering. Papers should make a substantial contribution to the application domain, to provide insights other than rote on temporal logic itself, and to appeal to a scholarly readership of engineers or computer scientists. Refereeing will evaluate the quality of submissions in respect of both the application domain, and computer science. AIEDAM: Artificial Intelligence for Engineering Design, Analysis and Manufacturing is an archival research journal that is intended to reach two audiences: engineers and designers who see AI technologies as powerful means for solving difficult engineering problems; and researchers in AI and computer science who are interested in applications of AI and in the theoretical issues that arise from such applications. Original articles are specifically sought by AIEDAM, that develop new and interesting applications based on the most up-to-date research in all branches and phases of engineering, including analysis, synthesis and design; manufacturing and assembly; and concurrent engineering. The journal is interested in the use of AI in planning, design, analysis, simulation, spatial reasoning and graphics, manufacturing, assembly, process planning, scheduling, numerical analysis, and optimization. reas of special interest include: knowledge-based (expert) systems for engineering, including knowledge acquisition and representation, control, and system architectures; theo- retical work on the modeling of engineering problem-solving and design processes; the integration of AI-based techniques with numerical analysis tools, graphics and solid modeling packages, and engineering databases; and engineering applications of knowledge-based vision and of natural language processing.

QSL seminar Temporal Logic December 10, 2002 LORIA Rooms B011/B013 Campus Scientifique Vandoeuvre-les-Nancy directions Organizers: and Stephan Merz The logic of time has its roots in philosophy and linguistics. Its application to specification and reasoning about computer-based systems is mainly due to Amir Pnueli's insight (published in his FOCS 1977 paper "The temporal logic of programs") that it provides relevant abstractions to describe runs of computer programs, and in particular of reactive systems . One of the practically most relevant discoveries has been the decidability of the model checking problem of standard propositional temporal logics over finite-state Kripke structures, leading to important advancements in the field of automatic verification and debugging of reactive systems, now routinely used in the herdware and telecommunication industries. This seminar is intended to review and discuss some recent developments as well as lessons learnt at the interface of theory and practice.

On the expressive power of temporal logic for finite words J. COHEN, D. PERRIN et J.-E. PIN n Abstract : We study the expressive power of linear propositional temporal logic interpreted on finite sequences or words. We first give a transparent proof of the fact that a formal language is expressible in this logic if and only if its syntactic semigroup is finite and aperiodic. This gives an effective algorithm to decide whether a given rational language is expressible. Our main result states a similar condition for the "restricted" temporal logic (RTL), obtained by discarding the until operator. A formal language is RTL-expressible if and only if its syntactic semigroup is finite and satisfies a certain simple algebraic condition. This leads to a polynomial time algorithm to check whether the formal language accepted by an n -state deterministic automaton is RTL-expressible. The PostScript file compressed with gzip

The Free Online Dictionary of Computing ( http://foldoc.doc.ic.ac.uk/ dbh@doc.ic.ac.uk Previous: temporal database Next: Tempura temporal logic logic predicate calculus which includes notation for arguing about *when* statements are true. Time is discrete and extends indefinitely into the future. Three prefix operators, represented by a circle, square and diamond mean "is true at the next time instant", "is true from now on" and "is eventually true". x U y means x is true until y is true. x P y means x precedes y. There are two types of formula: "state formulae" about things true at one point in time, and "path formulae" about things true for a sequence of steps. An example of a path formula is "x U y", and example of a state formula is "next x" or a simple atomic formula such at "waiting". "true until" in this context means that a state formula holds at every point in time up to a point when another formula holds. "x U y" is the "strong until" and implies that there is a time when y is true. "x W y" is the "weak until" in which it is not necessary that y holds eventually. There are two types of temporal logic used: branching time and linear time. The basic propositional temporal logic cannot differentiate between the two, though. Linear time considers only one possible future, in branching time you have several alternative futures. In branching temporal logic you have the extra operators "A" (for "all futures") and "E" (for "some future"). For example, "A(work U go_home)" means "I will work until I go home" and "E(work U go_home)" means "I may work until I go home".

Next: Symbolic Representation of Kripke Up: Symbolic Model Checking Previous: Symbolic Model Checking Temporal Logic A finite state system can be described as a tuple: where is a finite set of states, is the set of initial states, and is the transition relation, specifying the possible transitions from state to state. is a function that labels states with the atomic propositions from a given language. Such a tuple is called state transition graph or Kripke structure Figure 1: A State Transition Graph and its unwinding. Temporal logics are used to predicate over the behavior defined by Kripke structures. A behavior in a Kripke structure is obtained starting from a state , and then repeatedly appending states reachable through . We require that the transition relation be total. As a consequence all the behaviors of the system are infinite. Since a state can have more than one successor, the structure can be thought of as unwinding into an infinite tree, representing all the possible executions of the system starting from the initial states. Figure shows a state transition graph and its unwinding from the state labeled with `` A Two useful temporal logics are Computation Tree Logic (called CTL) and Linear Temporal Logic (called LTL). They differ in how they handle branching in the underlying computation tree. In CTL temporal operators it is possible to quantify over the paths departing from a given state. In LTL operators are intended to describe properties of all possible computation paths.

UMCS-89-10-1 Decision Procedures for Temporal Logic Decision Procedures for Temporal Logic Graham D. Gough Abstract: Temporal Logic has been shown, to be a powerful tool for reasoning about concurrent programs. A decision procedure is an algorithm for determining whether a given formula of the logic is valid (i.e. it is true in all interpretations of the logic). This dissertation is a study of decision procedures for various forms of temporal logic; in particular an improved decision procedure is given for a future time Temporal Logic, and a new decision procedure is given for a form of Temporal Logic including past time operators.
