Abstract

We propose a new abstraction technique for verifying topology properties of dynamic communicating systems (DCS), a special class of infinite-state systems. DCS are characterized by unbounded creation and destruction of objects along with an evolving communication connectivity or topology. We employ a lightweight graph transformation system to specify DCS. Hierarchical Abstraction (HA) computes a bounded over-approximation of all topologies that can occur in a DCS directly from its transformation rules. HA works in two steps. First, for each connected component, called cluster, of a topology, objects sharing a common property are summarized to one abstract object. Then isomorphic abstract connected components are summarized to one abstract component, called abstract cluster. This yields a conservative approximation of all graphs that may occur during any DCS run. The technique is implemented.
