In this paper, we develop model checking procedures for three ways of combining (temporal) logics: temporalization, independent combination, and join. We prove that they are termin...

Bounded Model Checking (BMC) is one of the most paradigmatic practical applications of Boolean Satisfiability (SAT). The utilization of SAT in model checking has allowed signifi...
Bounded Model Checking (BMC) searches for counterexamples to a property with a bounded length k. If no such counterexample is found, k is increased. This process terminates when ...
I briefly review the history of the unfolding approach to model checking. Carl Adam Petri passed away on July 2, 2010. I learnt about his death three days later, a few hours after ...
Abstract. The agent programming language GOLOG and the underlying Situation Calculus have become popular means for the modelling and control of autonomous agents such as mobile rob...
We present a method of distributed model checking of multiagent systems specified by a branching-time temporal-epistemic logic. We introduce a serial algorithm, central to the dis...
ct Increasingly, model checking is being applied to more abstract problem domains than the traditional protocol analysis. The extent to which such an approach is able to provide us...
Network protocols must work. The effects of protocol specification or implementation errors range from reduced performance, to security breaches, to bringing down entire networks....
: Designing security-critical systems correctly is very difficult. We present work on software engineering of security critical systems, supported by the CASE tool AUTOFOCUS. Secur...
Automated verification tools vary widely in the types of properties they are able to analyze, the complexity of their algorithms, and the amount of necessary user involvement. In ...
