Modelchecking counting properties of 1-safe nets with buffers in paraPSPACE

Abstract

We consider concurrent systems that can be modelled as $1$-safe
Petri nets communicating through a fixed set of buffers (modelled as
unbounded places). We identify a parameter $\ben$, which we call
``benefit depth'', formed from the communication graph between the
buffers. We show that for our system model, the coverability and boundedness
problems can be solved in polynomial space assuming $\ben$ to be a
fixed parameter, that is, the space requirement is $f(\ben)p(n)$,
where $f$ is an exponential function and $p$ is a polynomial in
the size of the input. We then obtain similar complexity bounds for
modelchecking a logic based on such counting properties.
This means that systems that have sparse communication patterns can
be analyzed more efficiently than using previously
known algorithms for general Petri nets.
