Abstract. In predicate abstraction, exact image computation is problematic, requiring in the worst case an exponential number of calls to a decision procedure. For this reason, sof...
Abstract. We present a process for validating temporal safety properties of software that uses a well-defined interface. The process requires only that the user state the property...
traction with Interpolants K. L. McMillan Cadence Berkeley Labs Abstract. We describe a model checker for infinite-state sequential proased on Craig interpolation and the lazy abst...
Abstract. Many software model checkers are based on predicate abstraction. If the verification goal depends on pointer structures, the approach does not work well, because it is di...
In this paper we propose a method for inferring invariants for loops in Java programs. An example of a simple while loop is used throughout the paper to explain our approach. The m...
