Facilitating unreachable code diagnosis and debugging
— Code coverage is a popular method to find design bugs and verification loopholes. However, once a piece of code is determined to be unreachable, diagnosing the cause of the p...

Combinatorics of branchings in higher dimensional automata
ABSTRACT. We explore the combinatorial properties of the branching areas of execution paths in higher dimensional automata. Mathematically, this means that we investigate the combi...

Intervals in Software Execution Cost Analysis
Timing and power consumption of embedded systems are state and input data dependent. Formal analysis of such dependencies leads to intervals rather than single values. These inter...

Dynamic Path Reduction for Software Model Checking
We present the new technique of dynamic path reduction (DPR), which allows one to prune redundant paths from the state space of a program under verification. DPR is a very general...
