On the Implementation of State-space Exploration Procedure in a Relational Database Management System
Formal Specification, Temporal Logic of Actions, State exploration, Relational database systems
An examination of discrete system's behavior can be done by exhaustive exploration of the state space that is generated according to the assigned domain semantics. Model-checking is the matured discipline that allows to explore state space as large as several millions of states. In this paper, we describe a novel approach to the implementation of state exploration procedure using PL/SQL, the language of Oracle relational database system. The high efficiency of database systems when dealing with large amounts of data and relatively cheap hardware available nowadays advocates the use of relational database as an implementation platform for practical exhaustive state exploration algorithm with the hope that this platform may scale up the model checking method to hundreds of millions of explorable states.
