Abstract

It can be desirable to specify polices that require a system to achieve some outcome even if a certain number of failures occur. The temporal logic of robustness RoCTL* extends CTL* with operators from Deontic logic, and a novel operator referred to as "Robustly" [7]. The only known decision procedure for RoCTL* involves a reduction to QCTL*. This paper presents a tableau for the related bundled tree logic RoBCTL*; this is the first decision procedure for RoBCTL*, and although non-elementary in degenerate cases has much better performance than the QCTL* based decision procedure for RoCTL*. The degenerate cases where this tableau performs poorly provide clues as to where we might look to prove that RoBCTL* is non-elementary.
