Title
Infinite-State High-Level MSCs: Model-Checking and Realizability
Abstract
We consider three natural classes of infinite-state HMSCs: globally-cooperative, locally-cooperative and local-choice HMSCs. We show first that model-checking for globally-cooperative and locally-cooperative HMSCs has the same complexity as for the class of finite-state (bounded) HMSCs. Surprisingly, model-checking local-choice HMSCs turns out to be exponentially more efficient in space than for locally-cooperative HMSCs. We also show that locally-cooperative and local-choice HMSCs can be always implemented by communicating finite states machines, provided we allow some additional (bounded) message data. Moreover, the implementation of local-choice HMSCs is deadlock-free and of linear-size.
