Neural networks provide state-of-the-art results for most machine learning tasks.
Unfortunately, neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples: given an input x and …

The term" reactive system" was introduced by David Harel and Amir Pnueli [HP85], and is
now commonly accepted to designate permanently operating systems, and to distinguish …

ABC is a public-domain system for logic synthesis and formal verification of binary logic
circuits appearing in synchronous hardware designs. ABC combines scalable logic …

Abstract Model checking is an automatic technique for verifying finite-state reactive systems,
such as sequential circuit designs and communication protocols. Specifications are …

A comprehensive introduction to the foundations of model checking, a fully automated
technique for finding flaws in hardware and software; with extensive examples and both …

“Satisfiability (SAT) related topics have attracted researchers from various disciplines: logic,
applied areas such as planning, scheduling, operations research and combinatorial …

In the previous chapter, we equated a CTL formula with the set of states in which the formula
is true. We showed how the CTL operators can thus be characterized as fixed points of …

Many different methods have been devised for automatically verifying finite state systems by
examining state-graph models of system behavior. These methods all depend on decision …

In this article we present a comprehensive survey of various approaches for the verification
of cache coherence protocols based on state enumeration,(symbolic model checking, and …

The state explosion problem remains a major hurdle in applying symbolic model checking to
large hardware designs. State space abstraction, having been essential for verifying designs …
