There have been significant advances on formal methods to verify complex systems recently. Nevertheless, these methods have not yet been accepted as a realistic alternative to the ...
The SPIN model checker and its specification language Promela have been used extensively in industry and academia to check logical properties of distributed algorithms and protoc...
We report on a case study in which SAL model checkers have been used to analyze the Suzuki-Kasami distributed mutual exclusion algorithm with respect to the mutual exclusion prope...
Abstract. Model-checking alternating-time properties has recently attracted much interest in the verification of distributed protocols. While checking the validity of a specificati...
