The majority of work carried out in the formal methods community throughout the last three decades has (for good reasons) been devoted to special languages designed to make it eas...

Model checking is a powerful and widespread technique for the verification of finite distributed systems. However, the main hindrance for wider application of this technique is the...
— With the success of formal verification techniques like equivalence checking and model checking for hardware designs, there has been growing interest in applying such techniqu...

We present various techniques for improving the time and space efficiency of symbolic model checking for system requirements specified as synchronous finite state machines. We use...

When a system fails to satisfy its specification, the model checker produces an error trace (or counter-example) that demonstrates an undesirable behavior, which is then used in d...
