Abstract

Standpoint linear temporal logic (SLTLSLTL) is a recently introduced extension of classical linear temporal logic (LTLLTL) with standpoint modalities. Intuitively, these modalities allow to express that, from agent aa's standpoint, it is conceivable that a given formula holds. Besides the standard interpretation of the standpoint modalities we introduce four new semantics, which differ in the information an agent can extract from the history. We provide a general model checking algorithm applicable to SLTLSLTL under any of the five semantics. Furthermore we analyze the computational complexity of the corresponding model checking problems, obtaining PSPACE-completeness in three cases, which stands in contrast to the known EXPSPACE-completeness of the SLTLSLTL satisfiability problem.
