This paper proposes the first mutation-based technique for the repair of Alloy 6 first-order
temporal logic specifications. This technique was developed with the educational context in …

Formal verification has become increasingly crucial in ensuring the accurate and secure
functioning of modern software systems. Given a specification of the desired behaviour, ie a …

The growing adoption of declarative software specification languages, coupled with their
inherent difficulty in debugging, has underscored the need for effective and automated …

Writing declarative models has numerous benefits, ranging from automated reasoning and
correction of design-level properties before systems are built, to automated testing and …

Background: Many programming environments include automated feedback in the form of
hints to help novices learn autonomously. Some experimental studies investigated the …

Finite model finders give users the ability to specify properties of a system in mathematical
logic and then automatically find concrete examples, called solutions, that satisfy the …

In the program analysis and automated bug-fixing fields, it is common to create an abstract
interpretation of a program's source code as an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST), which enables …

Automatic Program Repair (APR) has garnered significant attention as a practical research
domain focused on automatically fixing bugs in programs. While existing APR techniques …

Alloy is a declarative modeling language that is well suited for verifying system designs.
Alloy models are automatically analyzed using the Analyzer, a toolset that helps the user …
