Allowing State Changes in Specifications
Abstract. We provide a static analysis (using both dataflow analysis and theorem proving) to allow state changes within specifications. This can be used for specification languages...

Providing Automated Verification in HOL Using MDGs
While model checking suffers from the state space explosion problem, theorem proving is quite tedious and impractical for verifying complex designs. In this work, we present a veri...

Case-Analysis for Rippling and Inductive Proof
Abstract. Rippling is a heuristic used to guide rewriting and is typically used for inductive theorem proving. We introduce a method to support case-analysis within rippling. Like ...

Higher-Order Logic Programming as Constraint Logic Programming
Higher-order logic programming (HOLP) languages are particularly useful for various kinds of metaprogramming and theorem proving tasks because of the logical support for variable ...

Event Calculus Planning Revisited
In 1969 Cordell Green presented his seminal description of planning as theorem proving with the situation calculus. The most pleasing feature of Green's account was the negli...

Formal Analysis of a Self-Stabilizing Algorithm Using Predicate Diagrams
We present the verification of a protocol designed to ensure self-stabilization in a ring of processors. The proof is organized as a series of refinements; it is mechanized base...
