Looking for linear temporal logic verifiers gnerating counterexamples

I'm looking for algorithms for producing counterexamples for linear
propositional temporal logic (LPTL) verification.

That is, given two LPTL formulae p and q, check if (p implies q) is
valid (check if the complement is satisfiable), and, if it's not,
produce an example of a sequence that satisfies p but not q.  It's the
counterexample part that I'm interested in.

Thanks,

Larry

This is a rather easy part in temporal logic verification.  In
automaton gerating or tableau method, you have a finite automaton,
which accepts satisfiable state of givien temporal logic formula.  Your
problem is how to find a path from start to end in the automaton.

By tracing from the  terminal state, the shortest example can be found
easily. But if you try to find interesting example or meaningfull
example, it will be difficult.

I have such a verifier written in Prolog for Interval temporal logic (
a variant of LPTL).
