Although automated proof checking tools for general-purpose logics have been successfully
employed in the verification of digital systems, there are inherent limits to the efficient …

If we restrict our attention to finite state programs (variables and communication channels if
any range over finite domains), then the whole program can be represented as a (generally …

We propose abstract regular model checking as a new generic technique for verification of
parametric and infinite-state systems. The technique combines the two approaches of …

Abstract Bounded Model Checking (BMC) has been recently introduced as an efficient
verification method for reactive systems. BMC based on SAT methods consists in searching …

In spite of the impressive progress in the development of the two main methods for formal
verification of reactive systems—Model Checking (in particular symbolic) and Deductive …

In formal verification, we verify that a system is correct with respect to a specification. When
verification succeeds and the system is proven to be correct, there is still a question of how …

This work presents a modular approach to temporal logic model checking of software. Model
checking is a method that automatically determines whether a finite state system satisfies a …

Checking that a given finite state program satisfies a linear temporal logic property is
suffering in many cases from a severe space and time explosion. One way to cope with this …

Model checking is an automatic technique for verifying finite-state reactive systems. such as
sequential circuit designs and communication protocols. Speci-fications are expressed in …
