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 …

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

We show how static properties of declarative models can be efficiently analyzed in a
symbolic model checker; in particular, we use Cadence SMV to analyze Alloy models by …

Advances in finite model theory have appeared in LICS proceedings since the very
beginning of the LICS Symposium. The goal of this paper is to reflect on finite model theory …

Abstract Model-finding tools like the Alloy Analyzer produce concrete examples of how a
declarative specification can be satisfied. These formal tools are useful in a wide range of …

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

Specifying and analyzing desired properties of software systems can play an important role
in the development of more dependable systems. Alloy is a mature tool-set that provides a …

Alloy is well known a declarative modeling language. A key strength of Alloy is its scenario
finding toolset, the Analyzer, which allows users to explore all valid scenarios that adhere to …

The generation of sample instance models of Domain-Specific Language (DSL)
specifications has become an active research line due to its increasing industrial relevance …

Alloy is a declarative modelling language based on first-order logic with sets and relations.
Alloy formulas are checked for satisfiability by the fully automatic Alloy Analyzer. The …
