Abstract. Model programs are high-level behavioral specifications typically representing Abstract State Machines or ASMs. Conformance checking of model programs is the problem of ...
Object Petri nets (OPNs) provide a natural and modular method for modelling many real-world systems. We give a structure-preserving translation of OPNs to Prolog by encoding the O...
The main limitation of software model checking is that, due to state explosion, it does not scale to real-world multi-threaded programs. One of the reasons is that current software...
We sketch the fundamental properties and features of Snoopy, a tool to model and execute (animate, simulate) hierarchical graph-based system descriptions. The tool comes along wit...
This paper focuses on inductive invariants in unbounded model checking to improve efficiency and scalability. First of all, it introduces optimized techniques to speedup the comp...
