Relevance heuristics allow us to tailor a program analysis to a particular property to be verified. This in turn makes it possible to improve the precision of the analysis where n...
It is difficult to determine the cost effectiveness of program analysis tools because we cannot evaluate them in the same environment where we will be using the tool. Tool evalua...
In run-time safety analysis the executions of a concurrent program are monitored and analyzed with respect to safety properties. Similar to testing, run-time analysis is quite e...
Security communication systems composed of highly reliable components may have few if any failures while undergoing heavy testing or field-usage. This paper combines (i) analysis ...
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a traditional deductive safety analysis technique that is applied during the system design stage. However, traditional FTA does not consider transitio...
