Model checking Web service behaviour has remained limited to checking safety and liveness properties. However when viewed as a multi agent system, the system composition can be ana...

Abstract— Model checking can be aided by inductive invariants, small local properties that can be proved by simple induction. We present a way to automatically extract inductive ...

Safety is increasingly important for software based, critical systems. Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a safety technique from engineering, developed for analyzing and assessing syste...
Abstract. A fundamental method of analyzing a system such as a program or a circuit is invariance analysis, in which one proves that an assertion holds on all reachable states. Typ...
This paper explores the concept of locality in proofs of global safety properties of asynchronously composed, multi-process programs. Model checking on the full state space is ofte...
