Ensuring correctness of software by formal methods is a very relevant and widely studied problem. Automatic verification of software using model checkers from the state space exp...
Despite significant research on state-space reductions, the poor scalability of model checking for reasoning about behavioral models of large, complex systems remains the chief ob...

We present Hector, a software tool for combining different abstraction methods to extract sound models of heap-manipulating imperative programs with recursion. Extracted models ma...
Abstract. Directed model checking is a well-established technique that is tailored to fast detection of system states that violate a given safety property. This is achieved by in...

Shorter counterexamples are typically easier to understand. The length of a counterexample, as reported by a model checker, depends on both the algorithm used for state space explo...
