Bounded Model Debugging
Design debugging is a major bottleneck in modern VLSI design flows as both the design size and the length of the error trace contribute to its inherent complexity. With typical des...

On the Complexity of Error Explanation
When a system fails to satisfy its specification, the model checker produces an error trace (or counter-example) that demonstrates an undesirable behavior, which is then used in d...

Scaling VLSI design debugging with interpolation
—Given an erroneous design, functional verification returns an error trace exhibiting a mismatch between the specification and the implementation of a design. Automated design ...

From symptom to cause: localizing errors in counterexample traces
There is significant room for improving users' experiences with model checking tools. An error trace produced by a model checker can be lengthy and is indicative of a symptom...
