Abstract:

To verify the properties of the concurrent and reactive systems based on the theorem proving approach, an axiomatization is formulized for the first order projection temporal logic (FPTL). Further, FPTL can be used to describe the properties as well as the implementation of the system to be verified, which enables us to do verification within the same logic framework. Finally, an example is given to illustrate how to do system verification based on FPTL and its axiomatic system.

Key words: projection temporal logic, axiomatization, formal methods, verification
