摘要
We put forward an agent-based refinement methodology for the verification of infinite-state Multi-Agent Systems by predicate abstraction. We use specifications defined in a three-valued variant of the temporal epistemic logic ATLK. We define "failure states" as candidates for refinement, and provide a sound automatic procedure for their identification. Further, we introduce a methodology based on Craig's interpolants for the refinement of the agent-specific predicates upon which the abstraction is built. We illustrate the refinement technique on an infinite-state auction scenario, and show that specifications of interest, that could not be checked by plain abstraction, can now be verified on the refined models.
