The advent of sophisticated robotics and AI technology makes sending humans into
hazardous and distant environments to carry out inspections increasingly avoidable. Being …

The name" temporal logic" may sound complex and daunting; but while they describe
potentially complex scenarios, temporal logics are often based on a few simple, and …

It is a characteristic of swarm robotics that specifying overall emergent swarm behaviours in
terms of the low-level behaviours of individual robots is very difficult. Yet if swarm robotics is …

We introduce a variant of a formalism appearing in recent work geared towards modelling
systems in which a distinguished entity (leader) orchestrates the operation of an arbitrary …

Graph grammars may be used as specification technique for different kinds of systems,
specially in situations in which states are complex structures that can be adequately …

In this paper we consider the specification and verification of infinite-state systems using
temporal logic. In particular, we describe parameterised systems using a new variety of first …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to consider the logical specification, and automated
verification, of high‐level robotic behaviours. Design/methodology/approach–The paper …

We introduce a framework for the verification of protocols involving a distinguished machine
(referred to as a leader) orchestrating the operation of an arbitrary number of identical …

We propose a simple and efficient approach to the verification of parameterized and infinite
state system. The approach is based on modeling the reachability relation between …

Verification and validation are required to help assure the safety, reliability, functional
correctness and trustworthiness of systems. Verification demonstrates that the system …
