Popis: This paper proposes a dynamic approach of specification mining for Propositional Projection Temporal Logic (PPTL). To this end, a pattern library is built to collect some common temporal relation among events. Further, several algorithms of specification mining for PPTL are designed. With our approach, PPTL specifications are mined from a trace set of a target program by using patterns in the library. In addition, a specification mining tool PPTLMiner supporting this approach is developed. In practice, given a trace set and user selected patterns, PPTLMiner can capture PPTL specifications of target programs.
