Abstract

We present a methodology for verifying epistemic and real-time temporal properties of multi-agent systems. We introduce an interpreted systems semantics based on diagonal timed automata and use a real-time temporal epistemic language to describe properties of multi-agent systems. We develop a bounded model checking algorithm for this setting and present experimental results for a real-time version of the alternating bit-transmission problem obtained by means of a preliminary implementation of the technique.
