Advances in Symbolic Model Checking for Multi-agent Systems

In this article, MAS symbolic verification against temporal-epistemic specifications was discussed. A further recent development concerns the verification of open MAS where the number of agents is unbounded at design time. In this setting sufficient conditions can be given for the establishment of cutoffs in MAS. A cut-off is the maximal number of agents that need to be considered to draw conclusions on an arbitrary system composed of any number of agents.
