Abstract. It has often been claimed that model checking, special purpose automated deduction or interactive theorem proving are needed for formal program development. Recently, it ...
Abstract. Symmetry reduction is a technique to combat the state explosion problem in temporal logic model checking. Its use with symbolic representation has suffered from the proh...
Model checkers such as FDR have been extremely e ective in checking for, and nding, attacks on cryptographic protocols { see, for example 11, 12, 14] and many of the papers in 3]....
Metric Temporal Logic (MTL) is a prominent specification formalism for real-time systems. In this paper, we show that the satisfiability problem for MTL over finite timed words...
In order to apply formal methods in practice, the practitioner has to comprehend a vast amount of research literature and realistically evaluate practical merits of different appr...
