Model Checking Reconfigurable Interacting Systems

Paper i proceeding, 2022

Reconfigurable multi-agent systems consist of a set of autonomous agents, with integrated interaction capabilities that feature opportunistic interaction. Agents seemingly reconfigure their interactions interfaces by forming collectives, and interact based on mutual interests. Finding ways to design and analyse the behaviour of these systems is a vigorously pursued research goal. We propose a model checker, named R-CHECK (Find the associated toolkit repository here: https://github.com/dsynma/recipe.), to allow reasoning about these systems both from an individual- and a system- level. R-CHECK also permits reasoning about interaction protocols and joint missions. R-CHECK supports a high-level input language with symbolic semantics, and provides a modelling convenience for interaction features such as reconfiguration, coalition formation, and self-organisation.
