In automatic software verification, we have observed a theoretical convergence of model checking and program analysis. In practice, however, model checkers are still mostly concern...
Predicate abstraction has been proved effective for verifying several infinite-state systems. In predicate abstraction, an abstract system is automatinstructed given a set of predi...
Previous symbolic software model checkers (i.e., program analysis tools based on predicate abstraction, pushdown model checkiterative counterexample-guided abstraction refinement, ...
Abstract-- This paper describes a symbolic algorithm for overapproximating reachability in Boolean programs with unbounded thread creation. The fix-point is detected by projecting ...
Abstract In the event that a system does not satisfy a specification, a model checker will typically automatically produce a counterexample trace that shows a particular instance ...
