A typical problem formal verification faces is the size of the model of a system being verified. Even for a small system, the state space of the model tends to grow exponentially (...
Automated verification is a technique for establishing if certain properties, usually expressed in temporal logic, hold for a system model. The model can be defined using a high-l...
Abstract. Intel is applying formal verification to various pieces of mathematical software used in Merced, the first implementation of the new IA-64 architecture. This paper discus...
This paper gives an overview of a pilot project on the specification and verification of the L4 highperformance microkernel. Of the three aspects examined in the project, we descr...
A powerful approach to finding errors in computer software is to translate a given program into a verification condition, a logical formula that is valid if and only if the program...
