Abstract

Recently, many systems that consist of a large number of interacting objects have been analysed using the mean-field method, which allows a quick and accurate analysis of such systems, while avoiding the state-space explosion problem. To date, the mean-field method has primarily been used for classical performance evaluation purposes. In this chapter, we discuss model-checking mean-field models. We define and motivate two logics, called Mean-Field Continuous Stochastic Logic (MF-CSL) and Mean-Field Logic (MFL), to describe properties of systems composed of many identical interacting objects. We present model-checking algorithms and discuss the differences in the expressiveness of these two logics and their combinations.
