Given a 3-valued abstraction of a program (possibly generated using rogram analysis and predicate abstraction) and a temporal logic formula, generalized model checking (GMC) checks...
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...
The ability to guarantee that a system will continue to operate correctly under degraded conditions is key to the success of adopting multi-agent systems (MAS) as a paradigm for d...
We consider instantiation-based theorem proving whereby instances of clauses are generated by certain inferences, and where inconsistency is detected by propositional tests. We gi...
We re-examine vacuity in temporal logic model checking. We note two disturbing phenomena in recent results in this area. The first indicates that not all vacuities detected in prac...
