A Calculus for Automatic Verification of Petri Nets Based on Resolution and Dynamic Logics
Cláudia Nalon, Bruno Lopes, Gilles Dowek, Edward Hermann Hæusler · Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science · 2015
Petri Nets are a widely used formalism to deal with concurrent systems. Dynamic Logics (DL) are a family of modal logics where each modality corresponds to a program. This works presents a resolution-based method for Petri-PDL, a DL where programs are replaced by Petri Nets. We present a procedure to convert any Petri-PDL formula into a normal form, a set of resolution-based inference rules, examples of application of the method, and discuss soundness and completeness.
