Abstract

Logics for expressing properties of Petri hypernets, a visual formalism for modelling mobile agents, are proposed. Two classes of properties are of interest - the temporal evolution of agents and their structural correlation. In particular, we investigate how the classes can be combined into a logic capable of expressing the dynamic evolution of the structural correlation. The problemof model checking properties of a class of the logic on Petri hypernets is shown to be PSPACE-complete.
