Abstract

Motivated by recent work of Abiteboul, Vianu, Fordham, and Yesha, we investigate the verifiability of transaction protocols specifying the interaction of multiple parties via a network. The protocols which we are concerned with typically occur in the context of electronic commerce applications and can be formalized as relational transducers. We introduce a class of powerful relational transducers based on Gurevich's abstract state machines and show that several verification problems related to electronic commerce applications are decidable for these transducers.
