TAPAS is a suite of libraries dedicated to FO (R, Z, +, ā¤). The suite provides (1) the application programming interface GENEPI for this logic with encapsulations of many classic...
Abstract. In this paper we prove that the transitive closure of a nondeterministic octagonal relation using integer counters can be expressed in Presburger arithmetic. The direct c...
Analysis of execution traces plays a fundamental role in many program analysis approaches. Execution traces are frequently parametric, i.e., they contain events with parameter bind...
Abstract. This paper presents algorithms and data structures that exploit a compositional and hierarchical speciļ¬cation to enable more efļ¬cient symbolic modelchecking. We encod...
Software testing is an essential process to improve software quality in practice. Researchers have proposed several techniques to automate parts of this process. In particular, sym...

In the past, several attempts have been made to deal with the state space explosion problem by equipping a depth-ļ¬rst search (DFS) algorithm with a state cache, or by avoiding co...
