This article presents Pardinus, an extension of the popular Kodkod relational model finder
with linear temporal logic (including past operators), to simplify the analysis of dynamic …

We present a novel approach for parallel analysis of models written in Alloy, a declarative
extension of first-order logic based on relations. The Alloy language is supported by the fully …

We present a novel technique for producing bounded exhaustive test suites from hybrid
invariants, ie, invariants that are expressed imperatively, declaratively, or as a combination …

Bounded exhaustive input generation (BEG) is an effective approach to reveal software
faults. However, existing BEG approaches require a precise specification of the valid inputs …

The advancement of constraint solvers and model checkers has enabled the effective
analysis of high-level formal specification languages. However, these typically handle a …

We introduce a new idea for enhancing constraint solving engines that drive many analysis
and synthesis techniques that are powerful but have high complexity. Our insight is that in …

Field-exhaustive testing is a testing criterion suitable for object-oriented code over complex,
heap-allocated, data structures. It requires test suites to contain enough test inputs to cover …

Software failures remain costly and the need for more effective analysis techniques for
finding faults in software systems continues to grow. A powerful form of analysis is based on …

Today's real-world software systems are often too complex to reason about formally, which
can cause expensive failures which could be avoided with improved analysis in the process …
