- Abstract
FIFO automata are finite state machines communicating through FIFO queues. They can be used, for instance, to model distributed protocols. Due to the unboundedness of the FIFO queues, several verification problems are undecidable for these systems. In order to model check such systems, one may look for decidable subclasses of FIFO systems. Binary half-duplex systems are systems of two FIFO automata exchanging over a half-duplex channel. They were studied by Cécé and Finkel who established the decidability in polynomial time of several properties. There is no obvious way to generalize the half-duplex property to multiparty systems. Cécé and Finkel proposed some generalizations but concluded that their notions of multiparty half-duplex systems were either too restrictive or too expressive.
