Abstract Model checking is a computer-assisted method for the analysis of dynamical
systems that can be modeled by state-transition systems. Drawing from research traditions in …

Model checking technology is among the foremost applications of logic to computer science
and computer engineering. The model checking community has achieved many …

This handbook is intended to give an in-depth description of the many research areas that
make up the expanding field of model checking. In 32 chapters, 76 of the world's leading …

In the past two decades, model-checking has emerged as a promising and powerful
approach to fully automatic verification of hardware systems. But model checking technology …

Turing Lecture from the winners of the 2007 ACM AM Turing Award. In 1981, Edmund M.
Clarke and E. Allen Emerson, working in the USA, and Joseph Sifakis working …

Abstract Model checking is an automatic verification technique for hardware and software
systems that are finite state or have finite state abstractions. It has been used successfully to …

Model checking is a powerful approach for the formal verification of software. It automatically
provides complete proofs of correctness, or explains, via counter-examples, why a system is …

During the last two decades, model checking has emerged as an effective system analysis
technique complementary to simulation and testing. Many model checking algorithms and …

The phrase model checking refers to algorithms for exploring the state space of a transition
system to determine if it obeys a specification of its intended behavior. These algorithms can …

Abstract Model checking is an effective way of comparing a system description against its
formal specification and search systematically for errors. The method is gaining a lot of …
