text: Modal transition systems (MTS) is a well-studied specification formalism of
reactive systems supporting a step-wise refinement methodology. Despite its many
advantages, the formalism as well as its currently known extensions are incapable
of expressing some practically needed aspects in the refinement process like exclusive,
conditional and persistent choices. We introduce a new model called parametric
modal transition systems (PMTS) together with a general modal refinement notion
that overcomes many of the limitations. We investigate the computational complexity
of modal and thorough refinement checking on PMTS and its subclasses and provide
a direct encoding of the modal refinement problem into quantified Boolean formulae,
allowing us to employ state-of-the-art QBF solvers for modal refinement checking.
The experiments we report on show that the feasibility of refinement checking
is more influenced by the degree of nondeterminism rather than by the syntactic
restrictions on the types of formulae allowed in the description of the PMTS.
