We present a unified game-based approach for branching-time model checking of hierarchical systems. Such systems are exponentially more succinct than standard state-transition gra...
This paper compares six model checkers (Alloy, cadp, fdr2, NuSMV, ProB, Spin) for the validation of information system specifications. The same case study (a library system) is s...
In this paper bounded model checking of asynchronous concurrent systems is introduced as a promising application area for answer set programming. As the model of asynchronous syst...
Using model checking to verify that interaction protocols have given properties is widely recognized as an important issue in multiagent systems where autonomous and heterogeneous ...
Constraint automata have been introduced to provide a compositional, operational semantics for the exogenous coordination language Reo, but they can also serve interface specifica...
