  4. Abstract:
  5. Constraint automaton is a formalism to capture the operational semantics of the channel based coordination language Reo. In general constraint automaton can be used as a formalism for modeling coordination of some components. In this paper we introduce a standard linear temporal logic and two fragments of it for expressing the properties of the systems modeled by constraint automata and show that the equivalence relation defined by Valmari et al. is the minimal compositional equivalence preserving that fragment of linear time temporal logic which has no next-time operator and has an extra operator distinguishing deadlocks and a slight modification of this equivalence is the minimal equivalence preserving linear time temporal logic without next-time operator. We present a compositional model checking method based on these equivalences for component-based systems modeled by labeled transition systems and constraint automata and a simplification of it for model checking the coordinating subsystems modeled by constraint automata. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
