Abstract
We present an algorithm for the automated verification of Linear Temporal Logic formulæ on event traces using an increasingly popular cloud computing framework called MapReduce. The algorithm can process multiple, arbitrary fragments of the trace in parallel, and compute its final result through a cycle of runs of MapReduce instances. Compared to classical, single-instance solutions, a proof-of-concept implementation shows through experimental evaluation how the algorithm reduces by as much as 90% the number of operations that must be performed linearly, resulting in a commensurate speed gain.
