Abstract. We show how to generate well-founded and stable term orderings based on polynomial interpretations over the real numbers. Monotonicity (another usual requirement in termi...
When it is impractical to rigorously assess all parts of complex systems, test engineers use defect detectors to focus their limited resources. In this article, we define some pr...

Abstract. This paper evaluates the power of a new scheme that generates search heuristics mechanically. This approach was presented and evaluated rst in the context of optimization...
The model checking of applications of aspects is explained, by showing the stages and proof obligations when a collection of generic aspects (called a superimposition) is combined...
We describe an incomplete but sound and efficient livelock freedom test for infinite state asynchronous reactive systems. The method s a system into a set of simple control flow cy...
