—We describe PTYASM, an enhanced version of the YASM software model checker which uses proof templates. These templates associate correctness arguments with common programming id...

Object Petri nets (OPNs) provide a natural and modular method for modelling many real-world systems. We give a structure-preserving translation of OPNs to Prolog by encoding the O...
Priorities are used to control the execution of systems to meet given requirements for optimal use of resources, e.g., by using scheduling policies. For distributed systems, it is ...

A logic model checker can be an effective tool for debugging software applications. A stumbling block can be that model checking tools expect the user to supply a formal statement...

Rely-guarantee (RG) reasoning is useful for modular Hoare-style proofs of concurrent programs. However, RG requires that assertions be proved stable under the actions of the enviro...
