This was the first workshop entirely devoted to the verification of finite state systems. The workshop brought together researchers and practitioners interested in the development and use of methods, tools and theories for automatic verification of finite state systems. The goal at the workshop was to compare verification methods and tools to assist the applications designer. The papers in this volume review verification techniques for finite state systems and evaluate their relative advantages. The techniques considered cover various specification formalisms such as process algebras, automata and logics. Most of the papers focus on exploitation of existing results in three application areas: hardware design, communication protocols and real-time systems.

This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents a completely automatic verification framework to check safety properties of parameterized systems. A parameterized system is a family of finite state systems where every system consists of a finite number of processes running in parallel the same algorithm. All the systems in the family differ only in the number of the processes and, in general, the number of systems in a family may be unbounded. Examples of parameterized systems are communication protocols, mutual exclusion protocols, cache coherence protocols, distributed algorithms etc. Model-checking of finite state systems is a well-developed formal verification approach of proving properties of systems in an automatic way. However, it cannot be applied directly to parameterized systems because the unbounded number of systems in a family means an infinite state space. In this thesis we propose to abstract an original family of systems consisting of an unbounded number of processes into one consisting of a fixed number of processes. An abstracted system is considered to consist of k+1 components—k reference processes and their environment. The transition relation for the abstracted system is an over-approximation of the transition relation for the original system, therefore, a set of reachable states of the abstracted system is an over-approximation of the set of reachable states of the original one. A safety property is considered to be parameterized by a fixed number of processes whose relationship is in the center of attention in the property. Such processes serve as reference processes in the abstraction. We propose an encoding which allows to perform reachability analysis for an abstraction parameterized by the reference processes. We have successfully verified three classic parameterized systems with replicated processes by applying this method.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the third International Workshop on Computer Aided Verification, CAV '91, held in Aalborg, Denmark, July 1-4, 1991. The objective of this series of workshops is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the development and use of methods, tools and theories for automatic verification of (finite) state systems. The workshop provides a unique opportunity for comparing the numerous verification methods and associated verification tools, and the extent to which they may be utilized in application design. The emphasis is not only on new research results but also on the application of existing results to real verification problems. The papers in the volume areorganized into sections on equivalence checking, model checking, applications, tools for process algebras, the state explosion problem, symbolic model checking, verification and transformation techniques, higher order logic, partial order approaches, hardware verification, timed specification and verification, and automata.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the second workshop on Computer Aided Verification, held at DIMACS, Rutgers University, June 18-21, 1990. Itfeatures theoretical results that lead to new or more powerful verification methods. Among these are advances in the use of binary decision diagrams, dense time, reductions based upon partial order representations and proof-checking in controller verification. The motivation for holding a workshop on computer aided verification was to bring together work on effective algorithms or methodologies for formal verification - as distinguished, say,from attributes of logics or formal languages. The considerable interest generated by the first workshop, held in Grenoble, June 1989 (see LNCS 407), prompted this second meeting. The general focus of this volume is on the problem of making formal verification feasible for various models of computation. Specific emphasis is on models associated with distributed programs, protocols, and digital circuits. The general test of algorithm feasibility is to embed it into a verification tool, and exercise that tool on realistic examples: the workshop included sessionsfor the demonstration of new verification tools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer-Aided Verification is a collection of papers that begins with a general survey of hardware verification methods. Ms. Gupta starts with the issue of verification itself and develops a taxonomy of verification methodologies, focusing especially upon recent advances. Although her emphasis is hardware verification, most of what she reports applies to software verification as well. Graphical presentation is coming to be a de facto requirement for a `friendly' user interface. The second paper presents a generic format for graphical presentations of coordinating systems represented by automata. The last two papers as a pair, present a variety of generic techniques for reducing the computational cost of computer-aided verification based upon explicit computational memory: the first of the two gives a time-space trade-off, while the second gives a technique which trades space for a (sometimes predictable) probability of error. Computer-Aided Verification is an edited volume of original research. This research work has also been published as a special issue of the journal Formal Methods in System Design, 1:2-3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expanded and updated edition of a comprehensive presentation of the theory and practice of model checking, a technology that automates the analysis of complex systems. Model checking is a verification technology that provides an algorithmic means of determining whether an abstract model—representing, for example, a hardware or software design—satisfies a formal specification expressed as a temporal logic formula. If the specification is not satisfied, the method identifies a counterexample execution that shows the source of the problem. Today, many major hardware and software companies use model checking in practice, for verification of VLSI circuits, communication protocols, software device drivers, real-time embedded systems, and security algorithms. This book offers a comprehensive presentation of the theory and practice of model checking, covering the foundations of the key algorithms in depth. The field of model checking has grown dramatically since the publication of the first edition in 1999, and this second edition reflects the advances in the field. Reorganized, expanded, and updated, the new edition retains the focus on the foundations of temporal logic model while offering new chapters that cover topics that did not exist in 1999: propositional satisfiability, SAT-based model checking, counterexample-guided abstraction refinement, and software model checking. The book serves as an introduction to the field suitable for classroom use and as an essential guide for researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the contributions presented at the International Workshop on Current Trends in Applied Formal Methods organized October 7-9, 1998, in Boppard, Germany. The main objective of the workshop was to draw a map of the key issues facing the practical application of formal methods in industry. This appears to be particularly timely with safety and security issues becoming a real obstacle to industrial software and hardware development. As a consequence, almost all major companies have now set up departments or groups to work with formal methods and many European countries face a severe labour shortage in this new field. Tony Hoare's prediction of the art of software (and hardware) development becoming a proper engineering science with its own body of tools and techniques is now becoming a reality. So the focus of this application oriented workshop was not so much on spe cial academic topics but rather on the many practical aspects of this emerging new technology: verification and validation, and tool support and integration into the software life-cycle. By evaluating the state of the art with respect to industrial applications a discussion emerged among scientists, practising engi neers, and members of regulatory and funding agencies about future needs and developments. This discussion lead to roadmaps with respect to the future of this field, to tool support, and potential application areas and promising market segments. The contributions of the participants from industry as well as from the respective national security bureaus were particularly valuable and highly appreciated.

Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the joint conference on Formal M- elling and Analysis of Timed Systems (FORMATS) and Formal Techniques in Real-Time and Fault Tolerant Systems (FTRTFT), held in Grenoble,France,on September 22-24,2004. The conference united two previously independently - ganized conferences FORMATS and FTRTFT. FORMATS 2003 was organized asasatelliteworkshopofCONCUR2003andwasrelatedtothreeindependently started workshop series: MTCS (held as a satellite event of CONCUR 2000 and CONCUR 2002), RT-TOOLS (held as a satellite event of CONCUR 2001 and FLoC 2002) and TPTS (held at ETAPS 2002). FTRTFT is a symposium that was held seven times before: in Warwick 1988, Nijmegen 1992, Lu ̈beck 1994, Uppsala 1996, Lyngby 1998, Pune 2000 and Oldenburg 2002. The proceedings of these symposia were published as volumes 331, 571, 863, 1135, 1486, 1926, and 2469 in the LNCS series by Springer. Thisjointconferenceis dedicatedtotheadvancementofthetheoryandpr- ticeofthe modelling,designandanalysisofreal-timeandfault-tolerantsystems. Indeed,computersystemsarebecomingincreasinglywidespreadinreal-timeand safety-critical applications such as embedded systems. Such systems are char- terized by the crucial need to manage their complexity in order to produce reliable designs and implementations. The importance of timing aspects, p- formance and fault-tolerance is continuously growing. Formal techniques o?er a foundation for systematic design of complex systems. They have bene?cial - plications throughout the engineering process, from the capture of requirements through speci?cation, design, coding and compilation, down to the hardware that embeds the system into its environment.
