}Two runs of a distributed system can be considered equivalent if they represent different interleavings of the same run. Formulas of the propositional temporal logic of linear time (PTL) are said to be trace consistent when they cannot distinguish between equivalent runs. Determining whether a formula is trace consistent is decidable. In this paper, we consider a closely related notion: a PTL formula is said to be inevitable, if for every system run, there is at least one equivalent run (that…

Formulas of temporal logic which cannot distinguish between different interleavings of the same run are said to be trace consistent because checking such a property over an equivalence class of runs reduces to checking it for one representative.

A model-checking method for linear-time temporal logic that avoids the state explosion due to the modeling of concurrency by interleaving by relying on the concept of the Mazurkiewicz trace as a semantic basis and using automata-theoretic techniques.

An addition-based temporal logic is designed in which one can explicity talk about steps, and positive and negative results show that the step notion is amenable to logical treatment via standard techniques and demanding deterministic structures when dealing with a "non-interleaved" notion of transitions.
