We propose a model for modular synchronous systems with combinational dependencies and define consistency using this model. We then show how to derive this model from a modular spe...

In this work, novel symbolic step encodings of the transition relation for object based communicating state machines are presented. This class of systems is tailored to capture the...
Abstract-- Image computation is the core operation for optimization and formal verification of sequential systems like controllers or protocols. State exploration techniques based ...
Higher-order pushdown systems (PDSs) generalise pushdown systems through the use of higher-order stacks, that is, a nested “stack of stacks” structure. These systems may be us...
Counterexamples explain why a desired temporal logic property fails to hold, and as such are considered to be the most useful form of output from model-checkers. Multi-valued model...
