Abstract

Current Temporal Logics are all oriented towards the description of totally ordered sequences. This limits their usefulness for reasoning about systems whose computations cannot easily be mapped into totally ordered sequences. Here, we propose a temporal logic geared towards describing partially ordered sets and apply it to dynamic distributed systems. Even though the logic we define does not have the finite model property, we establish that it has a one exponential decision procedure and a complete axiomatization.
