Abstract:

Abstract. A variety of results which enable model checking of important classes of innite-state systems are based on exploiting the property of data independence. The literature contains a number of denitions of variants of data independence which are by syntactic restrictions in particular formalisms. More recently, data independence was dened for labelled transition systems using logical relations, enabling results about data independent systems to be proved without reference to a particular syntax. In this paper, we show that the semantic denition is suciently strong for this purpose. More precisely, it was known that any syntactically data independent symbolic LTS denotes a semantically data independent family of LTSs, but here we show that the converse also holds.
