Temporal logics and model checking algorithms for ZIAs

In this paper, we first propose a specification approach combining interface automata and Z language. This approach can be used to describe temporal properties and data properties of software components. A branching time logic for ZIAs is presented. We then give an algorithm for model checking this logic on ZIAs with finite domain. Furthermore, we present a mu-calculus logic for ZIAs, and give a model checking algorithm for this logic.
