For successful software verification, model checkers must be capable of handling a large number of program variables. Traditional, BDD-based model checking is deficient in this re...
Higher-Order Fixpoint Logic (HFL) is a hybrid of the simply typed λ-calculus and the modal µ-calculus. This makes it a highly expressive temporal logic that is capable of express...
Though verification tools are finding industrial use, the utility of engineering optimizations that make them scalable and usable is not widely known. Despite the fact that seve...
