Abstract

In a stochastic uncertainty environment, if the state transition of the mobile agent control system has only one preset plan, once this plan fails, the system will immediately enter the fault state. Therefore, multiple alternative plans can be provided in system design to improve system reliability, that is, alternatives can be implemented after the current plan fails. Considering the mobile agent control system in uncertain environment, this paper proposes a mobile agent control system with multiple alternative plans for system state transition. The nature of the system allows us to use one of the most recently developed open source model checkers for multi-agent system, MCMAS, to perform the model checking of safety verification task in designing the system. We formally model the proposed control system into Interpreted Systems Programming Language (ISPL) descriptions, which is actually the input of MCMAS. Finally MCMAS is used to validate the established ISPL model. The results show that the control system with multiple alternatives satisfies the required properties and can greatly improve the reliability of the system.
