An automata-theoretic approach to branching-time model checking (Extended abstract)
[chapter]
1994
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Translating linear temporal logic formulas to automata has proven to be an effective approach for implementing linear-time model-checking, and for obtaining many extensions and improvements to this verification ...
Moreover, the simple combinatorial structure that emerges from the automata-theoretic approach opens up new possibilities for the implementation of branching-time model checking, and has enabled us to ...
Unfortunately, the automata-theoretic approach does not seem to be applicable to branching-time model checking. ...

Abstracting abstract control
2014
Proceedings of the 10th ACM Symposium on Dynamic languages - DLS '14
However, these automata theoretic models either break down on features that inspect or modify the control stack. ...
We revise the abstracting abstract machines technique to target the stronger computational model of pushdown systems. In place of automata theory, we use only abstract machines and memoization. ...
We bypass the automata theoretic approach so that we are not chained to a pushdown automaton to model features such as first-class composable control operators. ...

αSPIN: Extending SPIN with Abstraction
[chapter]
2002
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This paper presents the details of αspin, an xml-based tool to abstract promela models in order to employ spin as an abstract model checking tool. αspin is built on the top of spin which allows us to take ...
One direction for abstracting a system is to transform its formal description (its model) into a simpler version specified in the same language, thus skipping the construction of a specific (model checking ...
This paper presents an approach to extend explicit model checkers with abstraction capabilities. ...

Efficient temporal reasoning (extended abstract)
1989
Proceedings of the 16th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages - POPL '89
in polynomial time. ...
This is due to the potential applications of such decision procedures to mechanical reasoning about correctness of concurrent programs. ...
[MP82], [MP83]), it was obvious to us that there was an efficient decision procedure implicit in their informal proof methods. ...

Memory-efficient and self-stabilizing network RESET (extended abstract)
1994
Proceedings of the thirteenth annual ACM symposium on Principles of distributed computing - PODC '94
The de nition was extended to shared memory model in DIM90 and to messagepassing model in AB89, KP90, APV91, Var-92 . ...
The theoretical formulation of this model was put forth by Dijkstra Dij74 , who, roughly, de ned the network to be self-stabilizing" if starting from an arbitrary initial state i.e., after any sequence ...

Undecidable Cases of Model Checking Probabilistic Temporal-Epistemic Logic (Extended Abstract)
2016
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
We investigate the decidability of model-checking logics of time, knowledge and probability, with respect to two epistemic semantics: the clock and synchronous perfect recall semantics in partially observed ...
We show that mild generalizations of the known decidable cases suffice to render the model checking problem definitively undecidable. ...
An alternative approach is to work in a setting with more explicit references to time, by using variables denoting time points. ...

Process Behaviour: Formulae vs. Tests (Extended Abstract)
2010
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
Here we compare these two approaches, using extensional testing in the style of DeNicola, Hennessy, and a recursive version of the property logic HML. ...
An alternative approach to process behaviour is based on tests, [DH84] . ...
Each time an instruction is executed, the content of the computer's memory is updated. ...

How to Be Both Rich and Happy: Combining Quantitative and Qualitative Strategic Reasoning about Multi-Player Games (Extended Abstract)
2013
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
We propose a logical framework combining a game-theoretic study of abilities of agents to achieve quantitative objectives in multi-player games by optimizing payoffs or preferences on outcomes with a logical ...
We enrich concurrent game models with payoffs for the normal form games associated with the states of the model and propose a quantitative extension of the logic ATL* enabling the combination of quantitative ...

Using timed automata for scheduling: Model checking is usually thought of as a verification technique. ...
Also considering the application of timed automata to scheduling of real-time systems, Fersman, Mokrushin, Pettersson, and Yi address a key issue in this approach to scheduling: the number of timed-automata ...

Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
Along the last two decades a variety of theoretical achievements and automated techniques have contributed to make quantitative modeling and verification mainstream in the research community. ...
Hence, they need to be integrated both at the level of system modeling and within the verification methodologies and tools. ...

An Automata-based Approach for CTL⋆ With Constraints
2009
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
These constraints allow to compare values of variables at different states of the model. We define an automata-theoretic approach to solve verification problems for such extensions. ...
We apply this approach to prove decidability and optimal complexity results for particular instances of CTL * extensions whenever an abstraction of the models verifying a "nice" property can be computed ...
The automata-based approach we propose relies on an abstraction of the models w.r.t. φ. The first step is to abstract valuations of the form Terms → D. ...
