AUTOSAR multicore RTOS is a safety-critical concurrent system, for which high quality is
required. A conformance test is important to ensure the quality of the software, but the …

Inter-Cell Interference (ICI) is considered as the main reason for throughput degradation in
cellular systems, especially for users at the cell edges. To mitigate ICI, ICI Coordination …

Testing is essential to ensure the dependability of software systems. This paper proposes an
automatic test case generation method using the NuSMV model checker. We consider state …

This thesis presents a novel architecture-centric approach, which uses Implied Scenarios
(IS) to detect design-vulnerabilities in the software architecture. It reviews security testing …

Concurrent programs are more difficult to test or debug than sequential programs because
their non-deterministic behaviors can produce errors that depend on timing and interleaving …

We present an approach for automatic translation of tock-CSP into Timed Automata (TA) to
facilitate using Uppaal in reasoning about temporal specifications of tock-CSP models. The …

Software testing covers a large percent of the software development expenses. However,
formal methods are applied, usually, to improve or ensure the correctness of the …

Real-time systems must respond to events in a timely fashion; in hard real-time systems the
penalty for a missed deadline is high. It is therefore necessary to design hard real-time …

Despite the high-level of automation offered by model-checking techniques for proving that a
system satisfies its specification, if one property is violated the designer is left with a …

People make mistakes. Software engineers are no exception to this fact. When software
engineers make mistakes, these manifest in the form of buggy software-a major problem in …
