Abstract. Recently, there is an explosive development of fluid approaches to computer and distributed systems. These approaches are inherently stochastic and generate continuous st...
Model checking has been introduced as an automated technique to verify whether functional properties, expressed in a formal logic like computational tree logic (CTL), do hold in a...

Runtime property checking (as implemented in tools like Purify or Valgrind) checks whether a program execution satisfies a property. Active property checking extends runtime check...

In this paper, we present a method that helps improve the performance of Bounded Model Checking by automatically strengthening invariants so that the termination proof may be obta...
Of special interest in formal verification are safety properties, which assert that the system always stays within some allowed region. A computation that violates a general linea...
