Operator procedures are documents telling operators what to do in various situations. They are widely used in process industries including the nuclear power industry. The correctne...
Abstract. We describe a translation from a dialect of SDL-88 to PROMELA, the input language of the SPIN model checker. The fairly straightforward translation covers data types as w...
One of the difficulties of using model checkers “in the large” is the management of all (generated) data during the validation trajectory. It is important that the results obta...
A pattern-based approach to the presentation, codification and reuse of property specifications for finite-state verification was proposed by Dwyer and his colleagues in [4, 3]...
Model checking is traditionally applied to computer system design. It has proven to be a valuable technique. However, it requires detailed specifications of systems and requirement...

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...
A variety of assume-guarantee model checking approaches have been proposed in the literature. In this paper, we describe several possible implementations of those approaches for ch...
