Bounded model checking is an efficient method for finding bugs in system designs. The major drawback of the basic method is that it cannot prove properties, only disprove them. R...
The Parameterized Model Checking Problem (PMCP) is to decide whether a temporal property holds for a uniform family of systems, ¢¡ , comprised of finite, but arbitrarily many,...
Irreversible computation necessarily results in energy dissipation due to information loss. While small in comparison to the power consumption of today’s VLSI circuits, if curre...
Model checking and other finite-state analysis techniques have been very successful when used with hardware systems and less successful with software systems. It is especially di...
Parallel platforms are becoming ubiquitous with modern computing systems. Many parallel applications attempt to avoid locks in order to achieve high responsiveness, aid scalabilit...
