Directed Model Checking for B: An Evaluation and New Techniques
ProB is a model checker for high-level formalisms such as B, Event-B, CSP and Z. ProB uses a mixed depth-first/breadth-first search strategy, and in previous work we have argued th...

A Comparative Study of Software Model Checkers as Unit Testing Tools: An Industrial Case Study
—Conventional testing methods often fail to detect hidden flaws in complex embedded software such as device drivers or file systems. This deficiency incurs significant developmen...

Can a Model Checker Generate Tests for Non-Deterministic Systems?
Modern software is increasingly concurrent, timed, distributed, and therefore, non-deterministic. While it is well known that tests can be generated as LTL or CTL model checker co...

Sat-based Model Checking for Region Automata
For successful software verification, model checkers must be capable of handling a large number of program variables. Traditional, BDD-based model checking is deficient in this re...

Dealing with practical limitations of distributed timed model checking for timed automata
Two base algorithms are known for reachability verification over timed automata. They are called forward and backwards, and traverse the automata edges using either successors or p...

Model checking the basic modalities of CTL with Description Logic
Abstract. Model checking is a fully automated technique for determining whether the behaviour of a finite-state reactive system satisfies a temporal logic specification. Despite th...

Tools and Techniques for Model Checking Networked Programs
For software executing several threads in parallel, testing is unreliable, as it cannot cover all thread schedules. Model checking, however, can cover all possible thread interlea...

The Engineering of a Model Checker: The Gnu i-Protocol Case Study Revisited
In a recent study a series of model checkers, among which Spin [5], SMV [9], and a newer system called XMC [10], were compared on performance. The measurements used for this compar...
