We present a framework for defining abstract interpreters for liveness properties, in particular program termination. The framework makes use of the theory of metric spaces to defi...

We present a new approach for reasoning about liveness properties of distributed systems, represented as automata. Our approach is based on simulation relations, and requires reas...

We design and analyze a simple optimistic fair non-repudiation protocol. Our protocol is considerably simpler and more efficient than current proposals, due mainly to the avoidanc...

In principle, bounded model checking (BMC) leads to semidecision procedures that can be used to verify liveness properties and to falsify safety properties. If the procedures fail...

In recent years we have seen great progress made in the area of automatic source-level static analysis tools. However, most of today's program verification tools are limited ...
