In a bounded analysis, arithmetic operators become partial, and a different semantics
becomes necessary. One approach, mimicking programming languages, is for overflow to …

Alloy is a specification language based on a relational first-order logic with built-in operators
for transitive closure, set cardinality, and integer arithmetic. The Alloy Analyzer checks Alloy …

Alloy is a textual modeling language for structures and behaviors of software designs. One
of the reasons for Alloy to become a popular light-weight formal method is its support for …

Formal techniques have been shown to be useful in the development of correct software. But
the level of expertise required of practitioners of these techniques prohibits their widespread …

The generality of Alloy's relational logic and the full automation of its analysis have prompted
several attempts to use Alloy as a backend engine for other tools. However, these efforts …

We present aDeryaft, a novel technique for automating the writing of specifications in Alloy-a
first-order relational logic with transitive closure. Alloy is particularly suitable for specifying …

An approach to software design that introduces a fully automated analysis giving designers
immediate feedback, now featuring the latest version of the Alloy language. In Software …

Alloy is an extension of first-order logic for modelling software systems. Alloy has a fully
automatic analyser which attempts to refute Alloy formulae by searching for …

An approach to software design that introduces a fully automated analysis giving designers
immediate feedback, now featuring the latest version of the Alloy language. In Software …

In the development of critical systems, standards dictate that it is necessary to first design,
construct and formally analyse abstract models of the system. Developers must then verify …
