A standard approach in “infinite-state model-checking” is the representation of infinite transition systems by rewriting systems over words. A well-known example is given by the class of pushdown systems, where prefix rewriting is applied and state-properties are presented as regular sets of words. In this talk, we report on a more general approach, pursued in Aachen in recent years, in which trees, ground tree rewriting, and regular tree languages are considered instead. It turns out that a considerably larger class of transition systems is generated for which, e.g., the reachability problem is still efficiently decidable. We also show that undecidability phenomena arise when passing to more complex specifications than reachability. We conclude with an outline of open problems.
