Abstract. In this paper we introduce a multi-stage decision making procedure where decision makers sort the alternatives by means of a fixed set of linguistic categories, each one...
Interpolation based automatic abstraction is a powerful and robust technique for the automated analysis of hardware and software systems. Its use has however been limited to contr...
Abstract Decision procedures underlie many program analysis problems. Traditional program analysis algorithms attempt to prove some property about a single, statically-defined prog...
Abstract. A fundamental method of analyzing a system such as a program or a circuit is invariance analysis, in which one proves that an assertion holds on all reachable states. Typ...
Abstract. We present an iterative procedure for computing the optimal Bermudan stopping time, hence the Bermudan Snell envelope. The method produces an increasing sequence of appro...
