This paper introduces ASF, a variation of the BDI logic programming language ASL intended to permit the model-theoretic verification of multi-agent systems. After briefly introducing ASF and discussing its relationship to ASL, we show how ASF programs can be transformed into Prm, the model specification language for the Spin model-checking system. We also describe how specifications written in a simplified form of BDI logic can be transformed into Spin-format linear temporal logic formulae. With our approach, it is thus possible to automatically verify whether or not multi-agent systems implemented in ASF satisfy specifications expressed as BDI logic formulae. We illustrate our approach with a short case study, in which we show how BDI properties of a simulated auction system implemented in ASF were verified.
