Trnsition systms oftn suffr from th stt sp xplosion n vn Ptri nts struggl to rprsnt th hviour of mny rl systms in onis wy, us of multipl hviourl snrios ntngl in singl nt. In this ppr w show how trnsition systm n ompos into st of simplr hviourl mols, furthr rfrr to s winows. Th originl hviour n rovr s th union of th winows. A winow mols only on spt of th systm s hviour tht n hrtris y simpl vnt rltionships. By hoosing winows with simpl rprsnttions, suh s mrk grphs, hoi-fr nts, frhoi nts, t., on n mk sur tht h iniviul winow is simpl nough to unrstn, visulis n spify. A. Motivtionl xmpl Consir trnsition systm n its Ptri nt rprsnttion shown in Fig. 1(,). Arguly, th Ptri nt is mor iffiult to unrstn thn th trnsition systm, u to mix of onurrny n hoi. On n ompos th trnsition systm into two simplr ons, whih w ll winows, tht r hoi-fr, s shown in Fig. 1(). Th winows hv vry simpl Ptri nt rprsnttions W 1 n W 2 shown in Fig. 1(): th hoi spt of th systm hviour hs n strt wy from iniviul winows, n is impliitly rprsnt y th ltrntion of hviour twn winows. Th omposition n utomt iming to prou winows with spifi hviourl proprtis. In this xmpl, th rsulting winows r mrk grphs, lss of Ptri nts with prtiulrly wll-unrstoo struturl proprtis. Wk-up onition: p5 p8 Wk-up mrking: () Ptri nt. p0 = p7 p2 = p6 p3 = 1 Wk-up onition: p1 p3 Wk-up mrking: () Winows W 1 (lft) n W 2 (right). Fig. 1: Motivtionl xmpl. p6 = p2 p7 = p0 p8 = 1 An importnt proprty of th omposition is tht winows n hv ovrlpping hviours, whih provi rigs twn winows. As sn in Fig. 1() th winows ontin two shr stts: s0 (th initil stt) n s4. Th urrnt stt of th systm n thrfor osionlly sn in two winows simultnously, s shown in Fig. 2. By firing p or in s0 th systm lvs th shr stt n pros oring to on of th winows until it vntully oms to s0 or s4, wking up th intiv winow. Not: th systm n sty in th son winow infinitly y looping through stts {s6, s7, s8, s9}.

THE EXAMPLE IN MORE DETAIL In this stion w lrify th orrsponn twn trnsition systm n its rprsnttion using pross winows. Fig. 2 shows th trnsition systm from Fig. 1(), whr h stt is xpn into th orrsponing stt of th two pross winow nts in Fig. 1(). A winow is tiv whnvr it ovrs th urrnt stt, othrwis it is intiv; intiv winows r rwn opqu in Fig. 2. For xmpl, oth winows r tiv in stts s4 n s0, n th stt trnsition s4 s0 is rflt in oth winows y firing th trnsition. Dpning on whih trnsition ours in s0, ithr W 1 or W 2 oms intiv. In, W 1 os not ovr th trnsition, n W 2 os not ovr th trnsition p. Trnsitions {s7 y s4, s8 y s0} wk up winow W 1 n, similrly, {s2 s4, s3 x s4, s5 x s0} wk up winow W 2. Not tht thr is lwys t lst on tiv winow, us vry stt of th originl trnsition systm must ovr. Furthrmor, sin vry trnsition must ovr too, thr is lwys t lst on winow tht is tiv oth for n ftr trnsition ours. A. Wk-up mrkings Tl I provis n itionl illustrtion of th orrsponn twn th stts of th originl trnsition systm n th mrkings of th otin nts W 1 n W 2. As on n s, h stt is ovr y t lst on nt mrking. Whn TABLE I: Stts n nt mrkings in Fig. 1.

3 3 winow oms intiv, th mrking of th orrsponing nt hs no mning n is forgottn. Whn th winow susquntly wks up, th nt must initilis with orrt mrking mthing th urrnt stt of th systm. Using Tl I on n otin th following wk-up mrkings: Whn W 1 wks up in stt s0, it must initilis with th mrking {p0, p3}. Whn W 1 wks up in stt s4, it must initilis with th mrking {p2, p3}. Whn W 2 wks up in stt s0, it must initilis with th mrking {p7, p8}. Whn W 2 wks up in stt s4, it must initilis with th mrking {p6, p8}. On n rmov ll rfrns to th originl trnsition systm n its stts s0 n s4, thry mking th pross winows s sription slf-ontin from th point of viw of th two nts, s follows: Whn W 1 wks up, it must hv tokn in p3, plus tokn in p0 (if p7 is mrk in W 2 ) or p2 (if p6 is mrk in W 2 ). All othr pls shoul unmrk. Whn W 2 wks up, it must hv tokn in p8, plus tokn in p7 (if p0 is mrk in W 1 ) or p6 (if p2 is mrk in W 2 ). All othr pls shoul unmrk. Th wk-up mrkings r shown in Fig. 1() low th nts. B. Wk-up onitions In ition to wk-up mrkings, w lso riv wk-up onitions: th wk-up onition of winow vluts to 1 in ll stts whr th winow n wk up n thrfor rquirs n initilistion using th wk-up mrking. In our running xmpl, oth winows n wk up in stts s4 n s0. From th point of viw of W 1, it ns to wk up whn W 2 hs mrking {p6, p8} or {p7, p8}. This n xprss y th Booln onition (p6 p7) p8, whih n simplifi to p5 p8 using Booln minimistion. Similrly, winow W 2 ns to wk up whn W 1 hs mrking {p0, p3} or {p2, p3}, s ptur y th onition (p0 p2) p3 or, quivlntly, p1 p3. Fig. 1() shows minimis wk-up onitions low h nt. A gnrl mtho for riving wk-up onitions n mrkings is prsnt in Stion V. III. LABELED TRANSITION SYSTEMS AND WINDOWS A. Lll Trnsition Systms A Lll Trnsition Systm (LTS) is tupl (S, Σ, T, s 0 ) whr S is finit st of stts, Σ is th lpht of lls, T S Σ S is th st of lll trnsitions n s 0 S is th initil stt. W us s s to not th lll trnsition (s,, s ) T. An vnt Σ is si to nl in s 1 S if thr xists s 1 s 2 for som s 2 S. Givn n vnt Σ, th Enling St of is th st of stts in whih is nl, i.., ES() = {s S s S : s s }. Similrly, w fin th Bkwr Enling St of : BES() = {s S s S : s s}. B. Winows Givn n LTS A = (S, Σ, T, s 0 ), winow of A is nothr LTS W = (S w { w }, Σ w, T w, s 0w ) suh tht S w S, Σ w Σ, n T w T. Morovr, Σ w stritly ontins th lls ssoit to T w n S w stritly ontins th stts ssoit to T w. w S rprsnts th intiv stt. If s 0 S w, thn s 0w = s 0, othrwis s 0w = w. Thus, ny winow is fully trmin y sust of trnsitions of th LTS. C. Winow Domposition Givn n LTS A = (S, Σ, T, s 0 ), Winow Domposition (WD) of A is st of LTS winows, {W 1,..., W n }, with W i = (S i { i }, Σ i, T i, s 0i ), suh tht S = S i, Σ = Σ i, T = T i i i i n ll i r iffrnt. Th finition implis tht vry stt n vry trnsition of A is ovr y t lst on winow. Aitionlly, th following onitions hol for vry W i : Th unrlying grph inu y T i is onnt. T i T j for ny j i. Intuitivly, th prvious onitions gurnt tht ll omponnts r miniml, i.., tht th stts r onnt (xpt i ) n no winow is runnt. D. Stt sp n trnsition stps A winow omposition W = {W 1,..., W n } is st of winows tht volv synhronously t vry trnsition stp oring to th trnsitions of th LTS thy rprsnt. W hs glol stt sp in whih h stt s is vtor of stt omponnts, s = (s 1,..., s n ), h on longing to iffrnt winow. Thr is on-to-on orrsponn twn th stts of W n th stts of th ssoit LTS. For vry stt s x S, th ssoit stt in W will s x = (s 1,..., s n ) suh tht for vry W i : s i = s x if s x S i, s i = i if s x S i i.., ll th tiv stts r intil. 1) Exmpl: If w onsir th LTS in Fig. 1() n th WD with two winows, W 1 (lft) n W 2 (right), in Fig. 1(), w osrv tht th initil stt s 0 is rprsnt y th vtor s 0 = (s 0, s 0 ). Whn firing trnsition s 0 s 6, th WD movs to stt s 6 = ( 1, s 6 ). W nxt sri possil tr of th WD: q (s 0, s 0 ) ( 1, s 6 ) ( 1, s 7 ) (s 4, s 4 ) p (s 0, s 0 ) (s 1, 2 ) As on n s from th ov tr, t vry stt h winow n ithr tiv or intiv. Som trnsitions p my tivt winow,.g., (s 0, s 0 ) (s 1, 2 ), whrs othr trnsitions my tivt (wk up) winow,.g., y ( 1, s 7 ) (s 4, s 4 ). Thr is lwys t lst on tiv winow tht kps trk of th urrnt stt so tht othrs n wk up n ppropritly initilis thmslvs whn thir tim oms. y

4 4 E. Struturl proprtis From th thory of Ptri nts, w know tht rtin sulsss, suh s Mrk Grphs or Fr-Choi Ptri nts, r wll suit for goo-looking visul struturs [3]. Aitionlly, ths struturs r lso sirl for prformn n rhility nlysis. An intrsting ontriution in this r is th work y Bst n Dvillrs hrtrising th stt sps of hviours tht n gnrt y Mrk Grphs [4] n hoi-fr Ptri nts [5]. Fr-hoi Ptri nts is nothr sulss with visully-frinly struturl proprtis [6]. Th synthsis of this sulss hs n propos in [7] y omining th thory of rgions n ll splitting to for ll hois to fr. In this work, w pply th rsults from [5] n [7] for th omposition of hviours into pross winows. On of our min gols is to rt frmwork in whih th nlysis of prosss n highly utomt y proviing lgorithms to xtrt winows. Th propos lgorithms r s on solving SAT formultion of th prolm tht nos lol 1 proprtis of th winows. W nxt prsnt lol proprtis prsnt in [5][7] to nfor struturl proprtis on th synthsis Ptri nts. Th first two proprtis (forwr n kwr prsistn) r nssry, ut not suffiint, for th synthsis of hoi-fr Ptri nts. Th thir proprty is nssry for th synthsis of Fr-Choi Ptri nts. 1) Forwr n kwr prsistn: Givn n LTS, two vnts n r si to forwr prsistnt if th following onition hols: s 1 ES() ES(), s.t. s 1 s 2 s 1 s 3 : s 2 ES() s 3 ES(). This onition gurnts tht os not isl, n vi vrs. Not tht forwr prsistn lwys hols whn ES() ES() =. A ul proprty is fin for kwr prsistn. Two vnts n r si to kwr prsistnt if th following onition hols: s 1 BES() BES(), s.t. s 2 s 1 s 3 s 1 : s 2 BES() s 3 BES(). An LTS is si to forwr (kwr) prsistnt if forwr (kwr) prsistn hols for ll pirs of vnts. 2) Fr hoinss: Whn two vnts r not forwr prsistnt, thn onflit (hoi) ours twn thm. In this s, w my sir th onflit to fr, i.., th hoi onitions to symmtri for oth of thm. Lt n two vnts tht r not forwr prsistnt. Thn, n r si to in forwr fr hoi if ES() = ES(). Similrly, if n r not kwr prsistnt, thy r si to in kwr fr hoi if BES() = BES(). 1 By lol w rfr to proprtis tht n formult in trms of stts or trnsitions n smll nighourhoo roun thm. s0 s1 s2 s3 s4 s5 y y s6 x x Fig. 3: LTS with iffrnt prsistn n hoi proprtis. 3) Exmpl: Fig. 3 pits n LTS with iffrnt proprtis twn pirs of vnts. For xmpl, th pir (, ) is forwr prsistnt, ut not kwr prsistnt, sin n r oth kwr nl in s6, ut is not kwr nl in s4 n is not kwr nl in s5. Th pirs (, ) n (, ) r oth forwr n kwr prsistnt. Th pirs (, x) n (, x) r lso forwr n kwr prsistnt. Th pir (, ) is not forwr prsistnt, ut it is in forwr fr hoi. Finlly, th pir (, z) is not in forwr fr hoi, sin thy r not forwr prsistnt n z is not nl in s6. Similrly for th pir (, z). s7 s8 s9 x z s10 s11 s12 IV. ALGORITHM FOR WINDOW DECOMPOSITION This stion sris n lgorithmi mtho for isovring winow omposition of n LTS. Th mtho is inspir y th on prsnt in [3] for th xtrtion of LTS slis uring pross mining. It is s on SAT formultion of th prolm, using T vrils, tht mols ll possil winows tht onform to rtin st of proprtis. Th prolm is solv vi Psuo-Booln Optimistion [8]. With n us of nottion, w fin Booln vril t for h trnsition t T. A winow is fully trmin y sust of trnsitions, tht n mol s Booln ssignmnt to th orrsponing vrils. All thos vrils ssrt in th mol orrspon to th slt trnsitions for th winow. Th formul W (T ) tht mols ll possil winows tht n xtrt from n LTS is fin s: WINDOW(T ) = P 1 (T ) P n (T ) (1) whr h P i (T ) rprsnts st of onstrints ssoit to proprty. Nxt, th onstrints ssoit to iffrnt proprtis r sri. A ommon n importnt ftur of ths proprtis is tht thy r lol, i.., thy n spifi s Booln rltionships mong vrils tht rprsnt trnsitions in smll rgion of th LTS. A. Forwr n kwr prsistn Forwr prsistn nsurs tht no vnt isls nothr vnt in th xtrt winow (s St. III-E). Th Booln formultion of this proprty is s follows: Lt s, s 1, s 2 S n, Σ, with, suh tht t 1 = (s,, s 1 ) n t 2 = (s,, s 2 ). Lt T s2, = {t i = (s 2,, s i ) s i S} th st of trnsitions nl in s 2 with vnt. Thn th

5 5 following onstrint is to th formul to gurnt th prsistn of : (t 1 t 2 ) = (t i1 t ik ) whr t i1,..., t ik r th lmnts of T s2,. Noti tht, y symmtry, this onstrint will lso ppli for s prsistn. It lso works for nontrministi LTSs in whih T s2, > 1. In s T s2, =, th onstrint is ru to: t 1 t 2. Bkwr prsistn hs ul formultion tht intuitivly orrspons to th on for forwr prsistn whn th irtion of th trnsitions is rvrs. Th onstrints for forwr n kwr prsistn must formult for pirs of vnts nl in ny stt of th LTS. B. Dtrminism In som ss, it is sirl tht th xtrt winows r trministi. This implis tht ny non-trministi hoi nfors th systm to mov to iffrnt winow. Dtrminism n sily nfor y ing t-most-on onstrints ovr ll th trnsitions nl with th sm vnt in non-trministi stts. C. Conntnss This is proprty tht nnot gurnt with only lol onstrints. Inst, hyri pproh omining Booln onstrints n lgorithmi post-prossing is us. Th Booln onstrints gurnt tht no nw sour/lok stts r gnrt in winow. Formlly, for ny stt s S, w fin T in (s) = {t in1,..., t inm } n T out (s) = {t out1,..., t outn } s th st of inoming n outgoing trnsitions of s, rsptivly. For ny stt in whih T in (s) n T out (s), th following onstrint is : (t in1 t inm ) (t out1 t outn ). This onstrint gurnts tht ny stt with inoming n outgoing trnsitions in th originl LTS will lso hv inoming n outgoing trnsitions in ny winow. D. Algorithm W nxt prsnt n lgorithm for th isovry of winow omposition of n LTS (s Algorithm 1). Th lgorithm is s on th squntil xtrtion of pross winows tht fulfil st of proprtis. Th xtrtion is shphr y SAT formul tht nos th onstrints of th hosn proprtis (s lin 2 n qution (1)). Th vril T ontins th st of trnsitions tht hv not yt n ovr y th prviously xtrt winows. For h winow, th mximum numr of unovr trnsitions is slt (sis othr trnsitions). This sltion is str y ost funtion no s Psuo-Booln onstrint (lin 6). Th vril T i is th st of slt trnsitions.

6 6 V. DERIVING WAKE-UP CONDITIONS AND MARKINGS In this stion w prsnt mtho for riving Booln qutions for wk-up onitions n mrkings. Th mtho is intgrt with th winow omposition lgorithm prsnt in Stion IV n is vill s prt of th WORKCRAFT frmwork [1]. A. Driving wk-up onitions Lt W winow ovring th st of stts S w. Th truth tl of its wk-up onition (W, s) n spifi s follows: (W, s) = 0 for ll stts s tht r outsi th winow, tht is: s / S w : (W, s) = 0. (W, s) = 1 for ll stts s whr w n ntr th winow, tht is: s S w : ( s / S w : s s) (W, s) = 1. Othrwis, for ll stts s tht r ovr y th winow ut nnot ntr from outsi, th vlu (W, s) is unonstrin, i.. it is on t r. In, thr is no hrm if th wk-up onition is tru whn th winow is lry tiv, n w n us this flxiility to otin simplr qution for th wk-up onition. For th xmpl isuss in Stion II-B, th ov finition yils th following onstrints for W 1 : { (W1, s6) = (W 1, s7) = (W 1, s8) = (W 1, s9) = 0, (W 1, s0) = (W 1, s4) = 1. Sin th winows r rprsnt y sf Ptri nts, it is nturl to rprsnt thir stts y sts of mrk pls. This ls to th following stnr Booln logi synthsis prolm tht n solv y th ESPRESSO tool [11], whr sts r no y Booln vtors: Mrking s Booln vtor Wk-up onition (W 1, s) {p5, p8} (1, 0, 0, 1, 0) 0 {p6, p9} (0, 1, 0, 0, 1) 0 {p7, p9} (0, 0, 1, 0, 1) 0 {p5, p9} (1, 0, 0, 0, 1) 0 {p7, p8} (0, 0, 1, 1, 0) 1 {p6, p8} (0, 1, 0, 1, 0) 1 By synthsising th ov into Booln qution, on otins vry suint wk-up onition: (W 1, s) = p5 p8. It is not iffiult to prov tht n qution with only positiv litrls n lwys otin for wk-up onitions. This oms from th ft tht th tivtion of winow lwys oinis with th rrivl of tokn in som othr winows. This monotoni hviour gurnts positiv rltionship twn st of vrils n th wk-up onitions. Th tils of th proof r out of th sop of this ppr. W implmnt th positiv mo in our tool to riv wk-up onitions without ngtiv litrls, whih prous (W 1, s) pos = (p6 p8) (p7 p8) in this s. On n s tht th otin qution my simplifi y ftoring out th ommon trm p8. Our tool n riv suh ftor qutions if rqust y th usr. In our xmpl th rsult is (W 1, s) opt pos = (p6 p7) p8, s xpt. B. Driving wk-up mrkings To riv wk-up mrkings w us similr pproh. Lt m(w, p, s) stn for th wk-up mrking of pl p in winow W n stt s. Its truth tl is s follows: m(w, p, s) = 1 if w n ntr W in stt s n p must mrk. m(w, p, s) = 0 if w n ntr W in stt s n p must unmrk. Othrwis, th vlu m(w, p, s) is unonstrin. In, w only r out th vlu in th stts whn w ntr winow W n wk it up. For th xmpl isuss in Stion II-A, th ov finition yils th following onstrints for W 1 n p0: { m(w1, p0, s0) = 1, m(w 1, p0, s4) = 0. This n quivlntly xprss y th following truth tl: Mrking s Booln vtor Wk-up mrking m(w 1, p0, s) {p7, p8} (0, 0, 1, 1, 0) 1 {p6, p8} (0, 1, 0, 1, 0) 0 It is not iffiult to s tht th truth tl n synthsis into vry simpl qution m(w 1, p0, s) = p7.
