A spurious actuation of an industrial instrumentation and control (I&C) system is a failure
mode where the system or its component inadvertently produces an operation without a …

We introduce bounded satisfiability checking, a verification technique that extends bounded
model checking by allowing also the analysis of a descriptive model, consisting of temporal …

Social bots are computer programs that act like human users on social media platforms.
Social bot detection is a rapidly growing field dominated by machine learning approaches …

Formal methods-such as model checking-have definite advantages over more
commonplace verification techniques. By providing proof of the analyzed systems' …

One approach to moderating the expected behaviour of agents in open societies is the use
of explicit languages for defining norms, conditional commitments and/or social …

A spurious actuation of an industrial Instrumentation and Control (I&C) system is a failure
mode where a system component inadvertently performs a function without a justified …

Model checking techniques have traditionally dealt with temporal logic languages and
automata interpreted over ω-words, ie, infinite in the future but finite in the past. However …

Presently, delays due to the physical interconnect between logic gates account for large
portions of the overall path delays. For this reason, synthesis of the logic gate fanout …

Software-controlled bots, also called social bots, are computer programs that act like human
users on social media platforms. Recent work on detection of social bots is dominated by …

We present the syntax and semantics of a past-and future-oriented temporal extension of the
Object Constraint Language (OCL). Our extension supports designers to express time …
