Controllers for the Verification of Communicating Multi-Pushdown Systems
Résumé
Multi-pushdowns communicating via queues are formal models of multi-threaded programs communicating via channels. They are turing powerful and much of the work on their verification has focussed on under-approximation techniques. Any error detected in the under-approximation implies an error in the system. However the successful verification of the under-approximation is not as useful if the system exhibits unverified behaviours. Our aim is to design controllers that observe/restrict the system so that it stays within the verified under-approximation. We identify some important properties that a good con- troller should satisfy. We consider an extensive under-approximation class, construct a distributed controller with the desired properties and also establish the decidability of verification problems for this class.
