A High-Level Language for Modeling Algorithms and Their Properties
Designers of concurrent and distributed algorithms usually express them using pseudo-code. In contrast, most verification techniques are based on more mathematically-oriented forma...

Towards automated verification of autonomous networks: A case study in self-configuration
In autonomic networks, the self-configuration of network entities is one of the most desirable properties. In this paper, we show how formal verification techniques can verify the ...
