We apply the symbolic analysis principle to pushdown systems. We represent (possibly in nite) sets of con gurations of such systems by means of nite-state automata. In order to re...
Abstract. We prove an n-exptime lower bound for the problem of deciding the winner in a reachability game on Higher Order Pushdown Automata (HPDA) of level n. This bound matches th...
In this paper we show a novel method for modelling behaviours of security protocols using networks of communicating automata in order to verify them with SAT-based bounded model ch...
Abstract. We investigate the combination of propositional SAT checkers with domain-specific theorem provers as a foundation for bounded model checking over infinite domains. Given ...
We present an improvement of the SAT-based Unbounded Model Checking (UMC) algorithm. UMC, a symbolic approach introduced in [7], uses propositional formulas in conjunctive normal ...
