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

Alloy is a lightweight language for software modelling. It's designed to be flexible and
expressive, and yet amenable to fully automatic simulation and checking. At its core, Alloy is …

The commonly used flaw hypothesis model (FHM) for performing penetration tests provides
only limited, high level guidance for the derivation of actual penetration attempts. In this …

Reachability analysis is a powerful formal method for analysis of concurrent and distributed
nite state systems. It su ers from the state space explosion problem, however, ie the state …

Partial order reduction for timed systems is a challenging topic due to the dependencies
among events induced by time acting as a global synchronization mechanism. So far, there …

Partial order reduction for verification of timed systems Partial order reduction for verification of
timed systems Abstract This dissertation presents solutions for the application of partial order …

The parallel composition with observers is a well-known approach to check or test properties
over formal models of concurrent and real-time systems. We present a newtec hnique to …

We present a first report on our PARTS toolset for the automated static analysis of real-time
systems. The PARTS toolset is based upon a timed extension of Petri nets. Our simple time …

The stubborn set method is one of the methods that try to relieve the state space explosion
problem that occurs in state space generation. This article is concentrated on the verification …

Timed games are an essential formalism for modeling time-sensitive reactive systems that
must respond to uncontrollable events triggered by the (hostile) environment. However, the …
